Blackberry Farm - Aurora, Illinois

Oh wow! Why have I not taken my child here a long time ago. We paid only $8 a ticket since we got a discount for my husband being a veteran. There are museums, a petting zoo, a carousel, a train, free pumpkins, and so much more. You can bring food in & there are plenty of places to sit to eat your food. I'm super impressed! We got tired of paying such a high price for Bengston's Farm. This definitely gives you that fall farm experience without the high price tag.

Pure amazing experience for old fashioned, pre smartphone fun. For $10 you get access to history, play, fantastic outdoor play areas, a train ride, tractor pull, crafts and more. Every single staff member was friendly and filled with the holiday spirit. This experience was worth 10x what it costs. We went on a Saturday around 2 pm and left around 5 pm. We didn't even get through everything but it was a blast and a pleasant surprise in Aurora, Illinois - a town that has a rich history that was fun to learn about.

The place is awesome! Price you can’t beat and so much to do! Paddle boats, train, tractor ride, decorate your own pumpkin and carousal!! Spent 4 hrs here. Only downside was the food, ordered hotdogs and they weren’t fully cooked, girl just apologized, no refund or didn’t offer to remake them. So I recommend bringing your own food!

Most underrated spot and found this place while I am randomly exploring the farms and nearby. We went on a sunny day and my kids loved this place.

Kids are going to enjoy this place and it is well maintained. Employees are friendly and supportive. The ticket prices are generous and worth spending. Celebrating birthday's is ideal here.

So much to do with young kids. $10 entry and walk the activities are included. They have a train and tractor rides, animals your kids can hand feed (I suggest bringing a scoop unless you like tongue to your fingers lolol) the park has great slides your kids won't want to leave. It's also beautiful and peaceful scenery for us adults.

I went for their Thursday night concert series to see 7th Heaven. It's a great venue for that and the weather was warm and beautiful. Good sound, alot of space, bring your own seating, food, drink, or use their seating and buy food at their concession place.

We went to Blackberry Farm for a company event, and unfortunately, it rained the entire time. The grounds were beautiful and clean, and the staff was super friendly despite the weather. I was looking forward to the petting zoo. However, they are not separated enough, and there are so many bigger animals that aggressively push the babies and the non aggressive animals out of the way. I had to walk away because it was very difficult to watch. I also did not care to find a very large bucket of water with dead mice floating in them, I understand it's a farm, but I didn't want to see that. The train ride was the best part they take all around the grounds and it's beautiful, it is a nice ride with some beautiful views.

Hidden jewel in Chicago suburbs. I would highly recommend this place for a family outing with young kids.

The entry is only $10 per person and $9 for senior citizens. You can book it online or in person. There is no real advantage to buying it ahead of time.

You get to experience train ride, truck ride, paddle boating, horse ride, pet feeding, a museum, cand more. Best part is that there are no long lines. Wait time is typically none to to 10 min. This is the single most reason I world recommend this place.

There is ample parking and it is free.

There are some decent food options. Mostly snacks. But they don’t stop you from getting your own food inside.

This is also a good place for parties. We saw a few birthday parties there.

We spent about 3 hours here. Since it is outdoors, please check weather before going.

Great value for the price.
