This is a tad bit early in the year to be showing you this, but come fall, you will thank me. If you live in the Chicagoland area, this is a must go place. We have gone to Bengston’s every year since we moved to Oak Lawn. My only complaint about them is that it is tad pricy to go. However, the kids have a blast, and we get our pumpkins from them every year.
There are definitely a ton of places all around the farm for photos.

They have pony rides and a petting zoo:


After you walk out from the petting zoo (which you can buy carrots and feed the animals), they actually have hand washing stations. They also have rides for the kids if they are a certain height. Madison was tall enough to go this year. However, she was not brave enough. They also have a Haunted House, a corn maze, and a wagon ride. You can buy food there and enjoy the pig races. There is enough things to do there that you can spend the whole day!
If you are looking for a pumpkin patch to bring your family to this fall, Bengston’s is your place.

If you are ever in Green Bay, Wisconsin, this is a place you should definitely stop at. Where else can you go, take your kids, not spend over $20, and spend the whole day there?
Bay Beach has been around since 1892 in varies incarnations. The rides that have been offered have changed over the years, but the affordability has not. Tickets are still 10 cents. Some rides require 1 ticket, some 2. I think the train ride and the pony rides are extra. As a child, I loved this place. As an adult, I love bringing my kids here.
They have rides for both adults

And kids:

Not only do they have amusement park rides, train rides, and pony rides, they also have a pavilion that can be rented. There is also a park and picnic area too.
Snacks such as ice cream, soda, cotton candy, slushes, sno-cones, and nachos range in price from $1.00 - $2.00. The Pavilion “fast food” items range in price from $1.25 - $5.00 which includes hotdogs, hamburgers, brats, chicken sandwiches, pizzas, french fries, etc. Daily Specials include a sandwich, snack item, and a soda for $4.00. Taxes are included in all prices.
This is a one stop shop for affordable fun!
