Was able to check all the fall festival boxes: Cider. Apple Cider Donuts. Haunted House Haunted Barn (still scary during the day event without live actors). Haunted Hayride (not as scary during the day but still cool). Apple Cider Donuts. Pumpkin hunting. Petting Zoo with farm animals. Apple Cider Donuts. Definitely want to go to the Haunted Barn and Hayride at night. Oh, and did I mention there were donuts?" "Great place to go for some fall festival fun and amazing holiday spirit. Fun treats, snacks, and activities. Free parking, free admission and easily navigable walkways make it pretty easy to get around for everyone (parents and grandparents). Super easy to find right off North Avenue." "Great fall fest and haunted experiences, no entry fee, many places for photo ops, and the best hayride!" "I was searching for fall festivals near me and found this unbelievable gem! Fall Fest Fun!!! Great Food, loved the roaster corn, hayride with the kids was a perfect kickoff to fall." "This place is PERFECT for the family (families w/young kids) or even for friends to enjoy fall fest festivities! The food vendors are always good and many feature typical fall fest fair favorites- like fresh apple cider doughnuts, homemade caramel apples (with nuts, sprinkles, or plain), and delicious ciders. Classics with a twist- such as elevated funnel cakes (served as funnel fried) dressed with a buttery whipped topping, drizzled with maple syrup, and topped with *real* savory bacon bits adding both a chewy and crispy texture, it was to die for! I recommend their haunted house/haunted barn, haunted hayride, and petting zoo. They have fair rides, cute little shops, and pumpkins galore! This place is a tradition for many, and with good reason. They're open beyond fall festivities as well, They also have winter holiday attractions, like Santa's workshop where kids can visit Santa and they sell holiday trees and wreaths. FREE PARKING! I think it's worth supporting this old farm :)."

Great place to do the Fall/Halloween activities - lots of fun!! The haunted hay ride is awesome at night!!! -A Chicago Family Last year, we took a spooky ride on the haunted hayride at Sonny Acres Farm, and it was way more than just scary fun – it actually brought our family closer together and gave us a memory we'll always treasure. As we all gathered under the stars, we couldn't help but scream and laugh together, turning the experience into something that made us feel really connected. It's funny how getting a little scared can remind us how important it is to spend time with the people we love. We're definitely going back this year, and I'm even trying to convince everyone to try the haunted barn – wish me luck! -A Group from Geneva No way, we can't believe it's been a whole decade since we graduated, but let me tell you, our ten-year reunion crew totally rocked the haunted hayride and barn at Sonny Acres Farm! I mean, we thought we were all grown-up, but every corner had us yelling and laughing like kids again – those live actors were on point, and those eerie scenes and crazy twists kept us on our toes. And you know what was the icing on the haunted cake? The insane fall fest food they had – roasted corn that was so bomb and funnel fries that practically vanished the second they hit the plate. But hey, it wasn't just about the screams and munchies – we even got to sip on some adult beverages while catching up with old friends. It was like this perfect mix of nostalgia and new memories, all wrapped up in a night of epic scares and wicked surprises. Honestly, we left that place feeling like we'd time-traveled back to the best parts of our school days, except with way cooler stuff and even better company. Counting down already to when we can reunite and relive those heart-pounding moments – haunted hayride round two, anyone? Looking for details on our Fall Festival? Read More.
