Johnson Farms Pumpkin Patch
It's officially Fall and that means it's time to visit our Favorite Pumpkin Patches! This past weekend, our family enjoyed a day at Johnson Farms Pumpkin Patch. We LOVE Johnson Farms where the space is beautifully maintained and staffed by a friendly team. The kids enjoy a variety of farm animals, play areas, and attractions and the pumpkins at Johnson Farms are "on the vine"... it is a REAL pumpkin patch! What a terrific family tradition for your fall bucket list!
Tips Before Your Visit:
- Read the Johnson Farms Pumpkin Patch Listing for complete details, hours, pricing, and map!
- We spent 5 hours at Johnson Farms! The kids had a blast. Plan to spend half a day there for the most fun.
- Read our Pumpkin Patch tips for what to bring, what to wear, and more!
- They offer group tours and discounts if you lead a school group, play group, or church group! Mondays are a great day to visit for deals and smaller crowds.
- Watch the calendar for fun "extras" for instance: Each weekend beginning Sept. 29, enjoy Storytelling at high noon with Ty the Flower Fairy. Every weekend in October enjoy live music between 11-3 pm and Gnathan the Gnome wandering around the farm for kids to spot and gain a prize. And, Sunday, October 7, is the 3rd annual Family Fall Festival with live music, a magician, and Whistle the Clown.
- Note from the Johnsons 9/27: Our jumping pillow sported a new thrill for jumpers last weekend: a slow deflate due to a tear on the yellow panel. (Who was on the yellow panel???) Anyway, it is not something you can buy at Target, so we don't expect to have it repaired until next weekend (10/6). In the meantime all kids admssion will be discounted by $2 until it is fixed. Thanks for your patience. The Johnsons
Some of our Favorite Things about Johnson Farms:
- It is conveniently located! We live in the Southland, so it took us less than 10 minutes to get there. Johnson Farms is ONLY 15-20 miles from most locations in Johnson County Kansas, Cass County Missouri, and Jackson County Missouri.
- The farm is staffed by adults who LOVE kids, love the farm, and are attentive, friendly and helpful. As a mom, I was delighted by the caring team and helpful adults looking out for the kids, the animals, and ensuring a terrific experience by all. The Johnson Farms staff is terrific!!!
- It is a farm, but it is pristine! The property is beautifully maintained and clean.
- They offer a terrific variety of attractions: Pumpkin Cannon shooting pumpkins into the farm pond; Pumpkin Chomping Dinosaur; Jumping Pillow; pig races; several creative play areas; a variety of farm animals; pony rides; barrel train rides; mazes, concessions - the roasted corn is delish!; and u-pick vegetables and fruit BEYOND pumpkins (tomatoes, green beans, wild flowers, watermelon, squash and more).
- The pumpkins are ON the vine! At some patches, you will find pumpkins in fields already detached from the vine (some grown on the property, some purchased from outside sources) - it is great to visit a real pumpkin patch and pick that perfect pumpkin!
- They improve EVERY year with new attractions for visitors.
- They offer many different play areas for the kids, including two mazes, giant tunnels, and a fave - the Sand Bus (an old school bus turned sandbox).
