Eckert’s Millstadt Fun Farm

“My family and I had a memorable day at Eckert's Farm, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The food selection was indulgent and mouth-watering; we particularly enjoyed the pulled pork, hotdogs, and funnel cake. For those with a sweet tooth, the kettle corn is a must-try. The farm doesn't just cater to your taste buds; it's a feast for the senses. One of the standout attractions was a highly innovative cannon that shot pumpkins using compressed air—a hit with all ages. The variety of animals was another highlight. Not only did we get to pet camels, cows, and sheep, but we were also able to feed them, adding an interactive layer to the experience. For the younger crowd, a massive inflatable trampoline provided endless fun. My 12-year-old couldn't get enough of it. Beverage options were also top-notch, with the pumpkin beer and non-alcoholic apple cider deserving special mentions. The apple-picking was another pleasant activity; we went for Fuji apples and found them to be exceptionally delicious. We even indulged in eating some right off the trees. While the staff was courteous and accommodating, room for improvement lies in the restroom facilities, which could be better maintained. However, this is a minor drawback in what was otherwise an excellent outing. All in all, Eckert's Farm offered an eclectic mix of activities and gastronomic pleasures, making it a perfect destination for family bonding and leisure.”

“Came here over the weekend and had a BLAST! Spent 3 hours here and it felt like 30 minutes. 🤩 From pumpkin picking to the corn maze, from the camel rides to the Irish dancing, from the pumpkin cannon to the apple picking! The pig races were a personal favorite of mine. Adult entry is $20/person which includes a lot!! The staff here are so fun and engaging! The fun farm is definitely geared more towards families and kiddos as opposed to their Belleville farm location, but this place is still lots of fun for adults too! Parking is generous and this place is HUGE!”

“It's cute and quaint. We came during September and it was really fun for kids and adults alike, there are games and little activity sections for children and decent treats they too like candy apples, popcorn. There was a petting zoo and a little go cart thing there which was fun and a hayride so you'll definitely get your money's worth. There are some activities that do require extra payments and will only take cash so keep that in mind as well.”

“Loved the small town feel. If you have kids, they'll enjoy all the activities the farm has to offer. The tractor ride was one of our favorites, and we will be back again. We did not stay long enough to enjoy the haunted hay ride and I saw that you can rent a space for a bonfire for $75 and can enjoy the farms activities during that time. We are looking forward to being back during the night time hours.”

“The family had a great afternoon here. Its not the cheapest place to get into but once we were there the kids had a blast. So much for families to do here. They really enjoyed the corn maze and the 70 foot underground slide. We also did the haunted trail ride . Not really scary but it was still fun”

“Reasonable pricing for the amazing produce and so many things to do! Such a fun and family friendly place. Everyone is also so nice and you can tell they love their jobs.”

“1st time at this location! Parking is free. If you buy your tickets online it’s a little bit cheaper, $1.50 off per ticket for Saturday and Sundays. Almost everything is free with a ticket except for the camel rides, apple cannon and parakeets. I think for the kids the amount is worth it, but for the adults with older kids I think it’s a little bit too high. There’s pig races! We spent 3.5 hours here.”

“Very cool place to take children but I find picking their produce to be very overpriced and the prices continue to go up each year. Paying to ride a shuttle to the orchard should be free for those who are purchasing apples and other produce items. Over all the experience is enjoyable but the prices are becoming ridiculous for what it is at the end of the day. On the other hand their apples are crisp and delicious with many varieties available to pick from. In regards to pumpkins, get there early in the season the pick your own pumpkins they were very picked over last October, Not to mention too expensive!!! Highest priced pumpkins Ive ever seen at 90 cents a lb 😭 dude! That makes a pumpkin of avg size about 14 bucks. In my opinion that is completely ridiculous. You can get 2 for that price at krogers just sayin’”
