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.

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’

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.

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.

Eckerts has been a family tradition since I was a child and I love being able to take my kiddo. Lots of fun things to do -- apple / pumpkin picking, rides, bird cage to feed birds, big underground slide (fun for adults too), goats to feed, shows, food, KETTLE CORN! Large play area for the kids, bikes... you can see the Arch from a viewing point they have. Very fun fall family activity!!

Interesting place and for the price I would think they could afford a makeover. There's a lot going on here so it will keep you entertained for hours. Food is decent. I wish there was a cheaper option for those who just want to pick fruit from the orchard and skip the rest.

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

So much fun! Many attractions included for kids. Those few that you pay extra (camel, pony rides) are less expensive than Grants Farm. So many snack, food, drink and cider options. You can rent fire pit or catch multiple kids show. Evening hay ride was very well done!

Love this place and all our memories here. Alpacas, baby camels, cows. Goats. They have hot dogs, b4ats, turkey legs, funnel cakes. Beer, soda, water. A few little stores with honey, apple butter, apple crisp, candies, peanuts, sauces and spices. Apples and pumpkins available pre bagged. A stage for dancers. A great playground and old school slide. Shows where they launch pumpkins from a cannon into a field. A corn maze. 3wheel kid friendly tractor races. A swing ride. A spin yourself crazy ride that is adult friendly. Of course a wagon ride to pick Apples - honey crisp, fuji, green, red delicious.. you name it. Pay by the pound and they provide bags. Or ride out to the pumpkin patch and pick your own orange or white pumpkin. We go every year and even my 16 y/o still joins me and enjoys it!! Highly recommend and worth the drive. ~12 per adult to enter, but they don't charge for activities once you are inside!

This is a great family friendly establishment. The kids have so much fun and the adults enjoy it almost as much! They have excellent fresh made kettle corn, you have to get the big bag! We went here on a school field trip for my son and I wasn’t expecting there to be as many pumpkins left as there were. They have a great variety of shapes sizes and colors. There are tons of activities for the kids to do. They also have animals there which my son loved. Will definitely be a yearly event!

The children and I had a blast!! We stayed here for 5 hours which I have never done ANYWHERE! There was a lot of different things to do from the mini shows to the animals, tractors, slides, haunted hay rides, apple and pumpkin picking etc! We did everything here. You will enjoy it!

Great experience! Great for young kids and adults. Not much for mid teens. Fresh, local, and straight from the farm to your hands. They get busy quick, and don't have that large of a capacity. They run out of supplies frequently. Aside from that, it is worth a visit.

Get your fire spots before the season starts they run out fast. This is a very very fun place for kids. Very great place for adults as well. Great view of the arch, there are camels, goats, ponys, massive trampoline for the kids, rides, Fantastic Donuts, the haunted trail ride is fun and so is the maze. They have piglet races and all sorts of things to do. This place is truly underrated.

We enjoy stopping here multiple times a year! We always have a great time and they have a lot to do. We love the corn maze, pig races, pumpkin and apple picking, and animals. Perfect place to spend time with the family!

Super fun place to go to embrace the fall vibes! We enjoyed picking a pumpkin and apples. There were lots of cute animals to feed and pet. We also got a free ticket for the spooky wagon ride, which was super fun and spooky! Can get a little expensive if you want to do all the activities... but I would love to make it a yearly tradition!

BEWARE BEFORE YOU GO! Came to get pumpkins with the family today.. $18 per person just to enter. Imagine being a family of 4 people=$72, 5 people =$90 just to even enter. We didn’t know until after we left that it is $3 during weekdays. What exactly is the jump in price from $3 to $18 on the weekends. We didn’t come there to do the stupid stuff they got going on there, we just wanted to pick pumpkins and go. At entry there should be options if you just want to go get pumpkins or spend $18 per person to their little carnival that isn’t even worth it. But since we paid all this money to enter we walked around and you have to pay even more money to do majority of the things there such as ride a camel or feed animals (shouldn’t my entry money go towards that). There was like 2 rides, a couple slides that the kids said hurt their back and a swing set. The entertainment was like a 2 minute tap dance. I’m still questioning what exactly my $18 per person went towards. We thought maybe a pumpkin was included in the entry price. Nope. Spent another $75 on 4 pumpkins. This place is a joke. Don’t waste your time or money here, they are definitely stealing peoples money. We will never be back to this place.

A great way to get closer to nature during this beautiful Fall! The Golden Delicious apples were the crispest sweetest apples we ever tasted, and the staff were great. There were rides, animals, food, apple and pumpkin picking, and tons of fun!

Disgusting price gouging company. $18 a person on weekends when most families can go, and only $3 on a week day when most are working.That big of a price jump. That’s just admission to get in too. Nothing else.This place has higher prices than everyone else and continues to raise their prices drastically every year. Just from food to activities.Never will support them again.

Horrible service. They won't refund you the admission fee if it's raining. It's also too expensive. For a family of 5 paying $18 a person. My kids are older and we don't do any of the rides. Just there to get apples and a pumpkin which is also over priced.

We love taking our grandchildren here, ages between 2 and 14. There are so many things to do and eat that spending 4 hours there goes by quickly and they're all tired after. Success! Apple picking, pumpkin picking, animals, slides, small rides, major corn maze, playground, pig races, on and on.

Went today and online it says 2 and under are free but when we got to the window she charged us for both kids in the strollers who we made clear were under 2. She said they charge everyone coming in so you need to update your website.Update. Called and spoke to a lady who took my number and said she would call me after talking to who was at the gate. Been a week and no return call. Such poor service

The farm did not disappoint. Lots of fun rides and things to do. Lots of animal encounters and The Haunted hayride was a hit! Such fun!

We had a wonderful time & awesome weather! There are lots of included activities in the admission price & only a few premium activities that require extra payment so the kids didn't feel like they were missing out on activities throughout the day because there was plenty for them to do. Similarly, there's lots of food options for reasonable prices so it's not too pricey to let the kids have a treat while there. The farm is well layed out, clean & the bathrooms were cleaner than I expected considering how many people were at the farm this day. The animals were engaging & my kids loved the haunted hay ride to close out the night. Really just a perfect fall family day & worth the 1hr drive for us to get there!
