Sonny Acres Farm announces the return of its Fall Festival, running September 20 through October 30, 2025. Admission and parking are free, with ample space on-site and guided overflow parking on busy weekends.

For those who enjoy a spine-tingling fright, the farm’s haunted barn and hayride attraction, featuring 60 live actors, immersive sets, pyrotechnics, animatronics, and brand-new storylines to terrify and thrill will open on Friday, September 26 at 7 PM.

During the week, Tuesdays–Thursdays from 10 AM to 6 PM, guests can enjoy a special $25 wristband deal for unlimited rides and attractions. Favorites include the Apple Worm, Sheep Ride, Wacky Worm Roller Coaster, Bumble Bees, Frog Hopper, Giant Slide, Tilt-A-Whirl, Sonny’s Express Train, a Giant Jumping Pillow, Kiddie Korral play areas, and more.

Outside of the wristband deal, guests are invited to purchase tickets to enjoy different attractions and rides of their choice. Tickets and wristbands are available via TIXR or at the on-site ticket booth.

Guests can also pick pumpkins, shop the Farm Fresh Store for seasonal produce, or indulge in gourmet treats from the Sweet Shop, open daily during Fall Fest. Expanded weekend food offerings include roasted corn, apple cider donuts, funnel fries, and specialty eats from local vendors. Adults can sip on seasonal cocktails such as Spiked Hot Apple Cider and Apple Cider Slushies, also available in non-alcoholic versions, while catching Chicago Bears games screened live at Sonny Acres Bar on game days.
