Jack's Pumpkin Pop Up

Wander through pumpkin patches and corn mazes while you enjoy the season at Chicago’s largest fall festival, Jack’s Pumpkin Pop Up, located near Goose Island, from September 22- October 31, 2024.

The large number of all-ages festivities make Jack’s one of the most popular fall excursions. Besides a sprawling patch covered with 10,000 pumpkins, there are carnival games, apple cider donuts, fortune telling, gem mining, ax throwing, a corn maze, food trucks and photo ops.

Try your skills in the largest corn maze in downtown Chicago, with twists and turns that will challenge your sense of direction. Figure out the maze and get rewarded with a hidden bar at the end of it.

There are also alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, including beer buckets for purchase and the new adrenalin-pumping activities of mechanical pig racing and mechanical bull racing.

Ticket prices depend on the number of activities you choose but the cheapest is $22 for entry and the corn maze. Tickets for kids 5-11 are $20 with an adult admission ticket. The pop-up hours are Monday-Thursday, 4- 11 pm, Saturday 11-11 pm, and Sunday 11-10 pm.

Weekday times are less crowded and parking is easier.
