Perryville Pumpkin Farm

Perryville Pumpkin Farm delivers pumpkins and farm fun on a working farm inside the Perryville city limits. Visitors can pick from the vine or choose from more than 250 kinds of pumpkins and gourds, and more than 50 activities include a straw bale fort, corn and soybean mazes, corn pits, mini golf, pumpkin bowling, and calf roping. Animals on view include goats, pigs, chickens, and cows. The country store sells grass-fed meat sticks, homemade apple butter, honey, and pumpkin and apple pie soda. Wagon rides run to the patches, and Flashlight Saturday Nights stay open late for maze walks and a bonfire. The entrance is at 1410 Allens Landing Road, 7 to 10 minutes east of I-55 exit 129.

Our take: Bring a flashlight for a Flashlight Saturday Night, when the mazes stay open late and a bonfire is going.
