Fiorello’s Pumpkin Patch

It’s the great pumpkin, Charlie Brown!
Open only in the Fall, Fiorello’s Pumpkin Patch sparks magic in the eyes of kids everywhere. Nothing like it exists in the area. A farm on Rte 173 in Caledonia, this place brings a lot of fun to Halloween. I’ve gone every Fall for the last twenty years.
You immediately see the décor, inflatables, corn husks, and barn when pulling in the parking lot. Admission is free, but you do have to pay to go in the Haunted Barn (a PG rated spook-​tastic shed filled with creepy ghouls and ghosts). Lots of picnic tables to enjoy lunch with friends and family are spread across the property. A large pole barn is crammed with food, Fall décor, and costumes on two levels. Be sure to check out the children’s Halloween book written by Frank Fiorello himself. It won awards!
Kids can meander through the small corn maze, feed the animals, jump in the inflatables, snap pictures on the farm equipment, and lots more. You can also grab a pumpkin to take home to remember your special day.
If you’re in the area be sure to stop by. Rte 173 connects to I-​90 just north of Rockford. A easy couple miles East will lead you to a land of pumpkins and fun for all.
