Thank goodness for agricultural tourism in Kansas. Pumpkin patches, corn mazes, and fun farms are all enjoyed outdoors, so go have some fall fun in 2022!
Every year we see wonderful family-owned farms near Wichita that offer pumpkin patches, corn mazes, and other fall fun for families. These are some of the best pumpkin patches in Kansas, and every year they seem to get even better.
I’ve included contact information for each place and put them all on a handy map farther down on this page.
For more fall fun, check out our list of Barn Sales and Flea Markets and local Fall Festivals. Oh, and hey – after you get your pumpkin you’ll need to carve it. Check out my roundup of free pumpkin carving stencils.

Hello!
Thank you so much for all the hard work you do! I was wondering if you know of any place that is close to Wichita that does night time hay rides? The closest I’ve been able to find is about a 2 hour drive…which is a bit far for us to have to venture.
Thank you!
I can think of two possibilities: Cedar Creek Farm is going to do horse-drawn rides, but I’m not sure if they will do them in the evening. (Maybe!)
And Walters pumpkin patch, if I remember correctly, had something like that in the evenings but with a horror theme so probably not what you’re looking for. ?
Hi, I have a family group of 5 adults and one, two year old. Can you suggest the best pumpkin patch to go to that would keep everyone entertained?
Thank you so much?
Another reader asked this just recently! I haven’t been to them all, so I’ve asked on Facebook. That said, I did read that Bergmann had more activities for the older kids. (And if anyone responds on Facebook, you’ll see the answers here.)
I was wondering if you had any suggestions as to which farm and corn maze might have more things for teens and young adults. thanks!
It’s interesting that you asked this, Pam! I haven’t been to all of them, of course, but just yesterday I saw a woman comment that Bergmann had the most activities for her teen and adult children. Hope that’s helpful!
Do you have a list for the fall craft and festivals, especially the towns outside of Wichita. The Eagle usually has one but always miss it and most are in Wichita.
Yes! I have list of fall festivals – many of which include craft shows – and I should have a list of fall craft fairs soon. For now, here’s the link to Fall Festivals near Wichita.

Nice. Thank you, Kim!
Hi, Do we have a page for halloween trick or treat events and haunted houses yet?
Hi, Cindy. Yes, I’m working on updating last year’s, but haven’t gotten it finished yet. Here’s the URL where it will be. https://wichitaonthecheap.com/wichita-trick-treating-halloween-events/
This is not pumpkin related but “fall” related. I have lived in Wichita all my life and just heard there is an apple orchard in Newton. It’s called Entz Ordard they have a facebook page. I took my boys there this past weekend. They had so much fun picking apples. You can eat as many as you want to try while you are picking. And, just buy the ones you want to keep … most apple varieties run $1.25/lb. We took home a whole basket for $7. For an hour of entertainment for a family of 4 … that’s Wichita on the Cheap.
I LOVE this! Yes, picking apples can be such a fun family thing to do, and it’s something that is great for kids (and adults!) to experience. 🙂 Thanks for sharing this with us, Penny. I hadn’t heard of Entz Orchard before either, but I’ll check them out!
