Black Bart's Pumpkin Patch, Warrensburg

Black Bart's Pumpkin Patch is the place to go for giant pumpkins. They have a HUGE selection of HUGE pumpkins.
Black Bart's Pumpkin Patch also includes the normal pumpkin patch entertainment, a hay maze, a corn maze, a slide, and a petting zoo. There is a haunted house which was too scary for my son.

For sale you'll find multi-color corn, hay bales, squash, gourds, a stuff your own scarecrow station, and pumpkins galore. Admission is free to Black Bart's and then you can pay for activities a la cart. The corn maze is 75 cents, children under 3 free. Feed for the petting zoo is a quarter per serving. The haunted house and slide are free. Drinks are available in the store for 75 cents per pop or bottle of water.
My son and I walked and walked thru the pumpkin patch and never came to the end of it. We were so far away I couldn't even see the house anymore. I would guess there are thousands of pumpkins waiting for you. Giant pumpkins, white pumpkins, red pumpkins, warty pumpkins, flat pumpkins, dark green pumpkins, grey pumpkins, and jack-o-lantern pumpkins. It's amazing.


Black Bart's Pumpkin Patch is open Monday thru Saturday 9 am to 6 pm and Sunday 11 am to 6 pm. Pumpkins are 35 cents per pound. I'm putting it on the Google map.

Pumpkin Patches

Within the next couple weeks pumpkin patches will be opening all over Central Illinois.



The Great Pumpkin Patch is the mother of all pumpkin patches near Arthur. Definitely worth the drive for a huge variety of pumkins and gourds. This is a great family day in the country. It's pretty packed on the weekends, so if you can hit it on a beautiful weekday you will really enjoy yourself.

Gail's Pumpkin Patch is east of Lincoln and opens Sept 15th. The Berry Patch is more than just a pumpkin patch, you can get berries there during the summer too. The Berry Patch is off Rte 54 on Lynn Road near Buffalo Hart in Sangamon County. Pumpkin Works near Paris is outside my usual territory, but it has 11 mazes! Black Bart's Pumpkin Patch outside Warrensburg opens later in the season, not until Sept 21st, and it includes a haunted house. Black Bart's is located between Warrensburg and Latham off Rt. 121.
