CHICAGO HEIGHTS, IL β€” Fall officially started weeks ago in the Chicago Heights area, and that means it's time to start planning your family’s yearly journey to the country to find the best pumpkins.

Paying a visit to a local pumpkin patch is a great opportunity to pick out the perfect Halloween jack-o'-lantern. It also is a way for families to spend a fun-filled day together as most fields offer free activities such as hayrides, corn mazes and games for the kids.

Visiting an outdoor pumpkin farm is fairly safe, but mask and social distancing guidelines and hours of operation may change. Before you go, it’s best to call ahead to the field or check its website.
