Anyone who knows me knows that fall is my absolute favorite time of year. Even people who don’t know me that well are probably aware-I make it very obvious. One of my favorite fall activities is checking out local spots like apple orchards and pumpkin patches! If you live in the Indianapolis area like me then you are in luck because there are plenty of great options around.
We recently drove all over the Indy area checking out some of the different orchards and pumpkin patches, and I’ve compiled the ultimate guide! I have included everything you need to know like if they have apples, a pumpkin patch, hayrides, current hours, and more. Whether you are looking for somewhere to take the whole family or make a date out of it, there is definitely an option for you here.
*Dates have been updated to reflect the 2022 season.
Note: I will work on updating this list frequently, but I also recommend double checking their websites or social media pages before planning your trip for the most up to date information.
Stuckey Farm
Sheridan, IN
Stuckey Farm is located on the northside of Indy in Sheridan. It is a working orchard and cider mill with 37 varieties of u-pick apples, and we couldn’t get over all of the options! We ended up picking apples and also shopping in their store. There were also plenty of pre-picked pumpkins available there. We were there on a weekday so we mainly did apple picking and shopping, but their weekend Harvest Festival includes more of the activities listed below.

Hogan Farms Pumpkin Patch & Corn Maze
Brownsburg, IN
Hogan Farms Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze is located in Brownsburg, and it is such a great spot for picking your own pumpkins!

There are hayrides, a corn maze, petting zoo, a pumpkin chess board, and a ton of other fun activities for kids. They also offer a farmers market on the weekends, and food trucks on Saturdays/Sundays in October.

Beasley’s Orchard
Danville, IN
Beasley’s Orchard in Danville is definitely the place to go if you are wanting to experience a little bit of everything this fall season! We were overwhelmed with everything they had to offer from the moment we arrived. The apple cider donuts and slushies from the Cider Bar inside the shop were my favorite! If you are going on the weekend I highly recommend purchasing your tickets online prior. We were able to skip the line to get in.

Spencer Farm
Noblesville, IN
Spencer Berry Farm is located in Noblesville and it is the perfect spot to pick up pumpkins and mums! We were so impressed with their pumpkin patches because they were some of the biggest ones I’ve been to. The offer a hayride to the patch on the weekends, but you are also able to drive and park nearby as well. Definitely stop inside the store for some ice cream or desserts, and they even have their own winery as well!

Dull’s Tree Farm & Pumpkin Patch
Thorntown, IN
Dull’s Tree farm has it all! From pumpkin picking to activities for kids, there is no shortage of fun fall festivities here. This is definitely a spot that families could spend an entire day at. They have a giant slide, food and drink options at their grill, apple cider slushies, a hayride, corn maze and more. I loved their Super Slushie (apple cider slushie, whipped cream, caramel, and an apple cider donut) so much that I ended up getting two! We will definitely be heading back there around the holidays when the tree farm is open for the season.

Jacob’s Family Orchard
New Castle, IN
Jacob’s Family Orchard is located in New Castle, IN, making it the furthest spot from Indianapolis on this list. We recently made the trip though and it was definitely worth it! They have apples, pumpkins, apple cinnamon donuts, and tons of activities for kids. I do want to note that they are not a u-pick orchard. My favorite part was that they are dog-friendly, so we were able to bring Luke and Leia with us! They made friends with the orchard dog, Blade.

Waterman’s Family Farm
Indianapolis, IN
If you prefer not to venture too far from downtown, then Waterman’s Family Farm is perfect for you! They have pumpkins, hayrides, a straw mountain, pumpkin bowling, and a ton of other activities for the family. We stopped into their market recently and couldn’t believe all the produce, homemade sauces, butters, and salsas they had. I highly recommend picking up a jar of their Habanero Honey Mustard!

The Apple Store at Conner Prairie

While it’s not technically a pumpkin patch or full blown orchard, The Apple Store at Conner Prairie in Fishers is a great spot to visit in the fall!
