The Olson Farm

Heap's Giant Pumpkin Farm, located in Minooka, IL, is a family-owned destination that opens its doors to the public during the fall months of September and October. The farm features a variety of attractions, including a U-Pick pumpkin patch, corn maze, bean maze, and engaging playgrounds, all set against the backdrop of a working farm that cultivates over 90 types of pumpkins, gourds, and squash. Visitors can enjoy hayrides, farm animals, and seasonal treats from Linda Kay's Craft Shop and Papa Heap's Grill, which serves delicious pork burgers and pumpkin cookies. Additionally, Heap's offers educational school tours and group outings, making it a perfect location for families seeking fun and festive experiences during the autumn season.
