A 37-year family-owned patch near Rantoul with themed mazes, a ninja pumpkin course, and pedal tractors — weekends only, $10 admission, with pumpkins priced separately.
$10 per person (children 4 and under free). Admission covers most activities. Pumpkins extra.
Rough cost for a family of four: about $40.00 in admission alone at the posted starting rate, before pumpkins, food, parking or any add-on listed above. Most families end up well north of that once they are through the gate.
Pleasant Ridge — also listed as Peckham’s Pumpkin Patch — is a family-owned operation in Franklin County that has run continuously for 37 years, with the farm’s research notes indicating its themed activities (built around characters or seasonal concepts) change from year to year. That kind of longevity is worth noting in a dataset where many listings are unverified newcomers.
At $10 per person, with children 4 and under free, admission covers most of the activity lineup: a hay maze, a “ninja pumpkin course,” pedal tractors, a bounce house, games, and hayrides. Pumpkins themselves are purchased separately, either from the 2-acre patch itself or a pre-selected lot near parking, depending on which the farm is running that season.
Saturday runs 10am–6pm — the longer of the two days. Sunday is a shorter noon-to-6pm window, which rules out a Sunday-morning visit entirely. There’s no weekday option at all, so plan around one of those two days specifically.
At 2 acres, the pumpkin patch itself is on the smaller side compared to some of the region’s larger farms, but the activity roster (ninja course, pedal tractors, themed hay maze) suggests a farm that’s invested in more than just a field. Thirty-seven years of continuous operation is a real signal of stability in a category where farms open and close often.
Call (785) 878-3793 to confirm exactly which activities are bundled into the $10 admission versus charged separately, and to ask what this season’s maze theme is — the research notes suggest it changes annually.
September 27 through October 31, 2026, weekends only: Saturday 10am–6pm, Sunday 12pm–6pm. Saturday gives you the longer window; Sunday's noon start rules out a morning visit.
Two to three hours for a standard visit including pumpkin selection and the activity lineup (hay maze, ninja pumpkin course, pedal tractors, bounce house, games, hayrides).
Weekend-only operation (Saturday 10am–6pm, Sunday 12pm–6pm) concentrates traffic into two days. Saturday's longer window likely draws more visitors than Sunday's shorter afternoon slot.
