Abbey Farms - Aurora, Illinois

DO NOT GET YOUR TREE FROM THIS FARM!! I am absolutely beside myself at how they have treated my family. We spent over a hundred dollars on a tree, we brought it home and it completely split up the middle, almost broke in half, and fell over in our living room where my three small children play. I understand that this was not the fault of the farm-but I have called multiple times, I have emailed, I have sent pictures. They have ignored us, brushed us off, and honestly just ruined our Christmas tree experience this year. Absolutely heart breaking that a place called a “family” farm would treat a family this way at Christmas. We are without our $100 and without a Christmas tree. Pick somewhere else to get your tree.

We stumbled across this tree farm after driving a far way. Beautiful trees. We didn’t cut ours down but that is an option. There is a beautiful barn / store with delicious food. The best part is the homemade beer from handcrafted from the Benedictine monks in the abbey. Enjoying that at the outdoor stone fireplace was amazing

I photographed a wedding at Abbey Farms a few years back and it was lovely! Super easy venue to work with. Great experience overall and would love to shoot there again!

I loved going here. They have a lot for all ages. From the petting zoo to the hayride. It was a great experience. Definitely worth the price of a $20 admittance which I purchased online. You can also pay upon arrival. Everyone was so friendly, the staff and visitors. I will definitely be back again next year.

Cute!! Unfortunately we came during the week so the petting zoo wasn't open which was soooo disappointing and one of the only reasons we wanted to come here. The kids had fun with everything they could climb and slide down. The tractor ride....well lets just say it was one bumpy ride and dont let any kids sit near the open back where the doors are. We tried to do the corn maze but it was sooo muddy and wet we never got to finish it. We ended up getting a half dozen doughnuts on our way out which so far they are delicious. Staff whom we actually seen, seemed friendly just seemed understaffed here. Overall, a good experience just need to come back on the weekend so we can actually enjoy the petting zoo. Thanks!

We went here 2 years ago and got the biggest tree ever (measured 14.5ft), and it was awesome! The staff was helpful moving and loading it, and pricing was competitive (mid to high 200s in 2022). We went to a closer place last year, but selection of both bundled AND relaxed trees makes it would the 20min drive for us. Inside, they have a cozy shop with a variety of beverage options, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. This year, there was a free apple cider donut and hot chocolate with the purchase of a tree which was a nice bonus. Behind the shop outside is a pavilion with outdoor seating and an outdoor fireplace, though on this occasion, the 25°F temps meant we were staying inside after picking our tree. Not a problem, because there are a bunch of large tables for seating to enjoy those apple cider donuts (available for purchase by the 1/2 or full dozen) and hot chocolate.

Abbey farms offers tree bundling and tree shaking for free, though cash tips are accepted but not required.

There is a place where you can cut down your own tree, but it requires an appt. There is NO APPT REQUIRED for precut trees (this isn't clear on their website).

This will likely be our families go-to for taller Christmas trees for the near future.

It was overall a great family activity to do, and they did a great job of keeping everyone social distancing. Lots of fun and laughs, we definitely did not make it to the end of the corn maze 🤣🤣 and my kids loved the apple cider doughnuts, and the cider. I loved the apple cider with captain Morgan 😍 the only bad thing I would say is that, there weren't any pumpkins to pick. I felt the pumpkins we did see, was there for pictures and props. U can also bring your own food if u want. Heavily noted for next time, especially water. Children 2 and younger gets in free. Great for family night or date night honestly.

Don't listen to all the overpriced negativity found on these reviews. Those are just babies complaining. This establishment has friendly and helpful staff. The area is clean and well maintained. The attractions for kids are great. They are dog friendly, which puts them in a league of their own as most places are not. It has plenty of parking, and even when crowded, it is not overwhelming. They have pumpkins because it is a farm, and that's what you go there for, duh. A++
