Autumn at Kroll’s: A Three‑Hour Slice of Farm Life in Waukegan.
Kroll’s Fall Harvest Farm compresses a day of rural diversion into a three‑hour, weekend ticket window: hayride loops across the fields, a corn maze invites navigation, animals offer brief close encounters, and the pumpkin patch and gift shop round out the visit. Limited ticketing, assigned wristbands and strict arrival rules shape the rhythm of the outing.

Admission allows entry to the pumpkin area and the on‑site gift shop; concessions are available for purchase so you can collect seasonal pumpkins and small souvenirs within your visit window.
Timed Weekends and Limited Tickets
Weekend tickets are sold in limited numbers per timeslot, wristbands identify your slot, and admission is strictly limited to the first two hours of the window—operational details that determine how much you’ll see.

What the Visit Feels Like
The visit moves at a brisk, purposeful pace: arrive during your assigned window, show your ticket to receive a colored wristband, then rotate through a hayride, the corn maze and the animal area, stopping at the pumpkin patch or gift shop as time allows. The farm’s layout and the three‑hour, timed format favor short, memorable encounters rather than lingering exploration.
