Pumpkin Blossom Hill
Pumpkin Blossom Hill in Red Bud takes the top spot, rated 4.9 out of 5 from 128 reviews. Visitors come here for corn maze and farm store.
5483 IL-154, 62278
Corn mazeFarm storePumpkin Blossom Hill is ranked #1 on this list, located at 5483 IL-154, Red Bud, IL, 62278. It carries a 4.9-out-of-5 rating on Google from 128 reviews, which puts it among the more established pumpkin patches we track near Red Bud. Beyond the pumpkin field itself, it's tagged for corn maze and farm store, so there's usually more to a visit than just picking a pumpkin and heading home.
Google hasn't surfaced a set of recurring review themes for Pumpkin Blossom Hill yet, so there isn't a themed summary of what visitors say to pass along here — the star rating and review count above remain the clearest public signal until more detail comes in. In the farm's own words: "Family-owned farm specializing in pumpkins and gourds, plus a corn maze." Pumpkin Blossom Hill is one of the farms we track with a corn maze, which typically means a corn maze is cut into a standing field in late summer and stays open until the stalks are harvested, which is why most mazes open a week or two after the pumpkin patch itself and close hard at the end of the season. si…
Based on its public listing, Pumpkin Blossom Hill is typically open Monday 9AM-6PM, Tuesday 9AM-6PM, Thursday 9AM-6PM, Friday 9AM-6PM, Saturday 9AM-5PM, Sunday 10AM-4PM. Pumpkin patch hours shift often during the season — expect longer hours the two or three weekends around mid-October and shorter, sometimes weekend-only hours toward either end of the season — so treat this as a strong starting point rather than a guarantee. Admission pricing isn't listed for Pumpkin Blossom Hill either — pumpkin patches generally charge one of three ways (free entry with pumpkins priced individually or by weight, a flat gate admission bundling attractions, or a per-attraction wristband system), so it's worth asking which applies here before you go. Payment methods aren't listed, and a meaningful share of family-run patches are cash-only for field admission and wagon rides even when the farm store takes cards — bringing some cash as backup avoids an awkward trip back to the car at the gate.
Like most working farms, the exact open and close dates for Pumpkin Blossom Hill can shift year to year with weather and how the pumpkin crop comes in, even though the general window is fairly predictable. If you're planning a special trip, a weekday morning is consistently the quietest time to go, with shorter waits for wagon rides and easier parking than a weekend afternoon. Wear shoes you don't mind getting muddy — pumpkin fields are working farmland rather than paved lots, and they get soft fast after rain — and call ahead if it's rained heavily in the last day or two, since field access and hayrides are usually the first things a farm closes when the ground is saturated. Layers help too: fall mornings can start cold and warm up quickly once the sun is over an open field.
Pumpkin Blossom Hill sits, near Red Bud, IL, with parking typically in a grass field rather than a paved lot — allow a few extra minutes on busy weekends for staff or volunteers to direct traffic, and if you're navigating by GPS rather than the link on this page, search the farm name directly rather than just the street address, since rural addresses sometimes route to the wrong gate.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best corn maze to visit for Halloween in Illinois?
Based on rating and review volume, Pumpkin Blossom Hill ranks first among the corn mazes we track in Illinois, with a 4.9-out-of-5 rating. See the full breakdown above, or its full listing for hours and directions.
Are corn mazes open through Halloween?
Most run their daytime maze through the end of October, often with a separate haunted or nighttime version on select evenings closer to Halloween. Check the individual listing above, or call ahead, for exact closing dates.
How long does a corn maze take to walk?
It varies a lot by farm and maze design — anywhere from 15 minutes for a smaller maze to over an hour for a larger, multi-path one. Some farms offer a shorter and a longer route on the same property, so ask at the gate if time is tight.
Is a corn maze the same ticket as pumpkin picking?
Sometimes it's bundled into general admission, and sometimes it's ticketed separately — this varies farm to farm more than most other attractions. Confirm current pricing directly with the farm before you go.
Are these corn mazes good for young kids?
It depends on the maze's size and difficulty — some farms design a shorter, simpler route specifically for younger kids alongside the full-length maze. Check the listings above for details, or ask at the gate before starting.
