The Odyssey Fun Farm Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze is fun for all ages! It is a 110 acre farm with a 13 acre pumpkin patch that you will be able to walk through to find the perfect pumpkin for your family.
The corn maze is 15 acres! It is shaped to say Odyssey Fun World Tinley Park and displays the mascot, Chipper!
There is also a 5 acre courtyard full of family friendly activities: The Odyssey Petting Zoo, The Inflatable Kidz Zone, corn cannons, pig races, a cow train, hay rides and pony rides!
Odyssey Fun Farm was a fairly good time for my children. Despite its name, it is not a farm or a pumpkin patch. It is a cleared-out cornfield decorated with hay, pumpkins, and activity tents. There is a $10 admission fee for each person, not just children. However, if your child wants to ride a pony, feed the goats, or enter the inflatable children's maze, it will be an additional charge.
Despite these minor complaints, my children really enjoyed the tractor pull ride, the hayride, face painting, bouncy houses and corn sand box. If you are unable to make it to one of the family farms and/or pumpkin patches, Odyssey Fun Farm is a good option. However, I think next year, I will opt for a real farm that will give my children a real pumpkin patch experience.
We attended Odyssey Pumpkin Farm October 10 around noon. It is not a farm or even a pumpkin patch just a barren area adjacent to a corn field with tents and bounce houses for "rides."
The animals at the petting zoo looked overheated and sickly apparently without much hydration or shelter. Our 5-year-old daughter got knocked around and kicked in the head because the activities are unsupervised by untrained teenagers who let it become a free-for-all and that's if there happens to be an attendant. Food is more expensive than Bengston's $3.50 for an ear of corn!
We got there, paid an additional $3 to go through "The Beast" (probably the best thing there), headed towards the animals and bounce houses and soon realized it was time to go. We didn't even want to see the other "attractions." About $50 bucks down the drain.
Website totally misrepresents the place with stock photos that seem real. For a more accurate idea, look at the pictures on their Facebook page which show it as it really is more like a truck stop with tents.
I took my sons there (ages 3 & 1) and they LOVED it!! There is stuff for all ages, pig races, bouncies, petting farm, maze etc. The staff are very friendly and it is reasonably priced and not too crowded.
We have been to odyssey numerous times. my kids always have fun here. never too crowded like some places get. both the indoor and outdoor activities are fun. i like that it gears to all ages and everyone of my kids can have a good time when we go.
