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 Indy area like me, then you’re in luck because there are plenty of great options around for everything from apple picking in Indianapolis to cozy pumpkin patches near Indianapolis.
Over the years, I have traveled all around to visit different farms, orchards, and pumpkin patches, and I’ve compiled the ultimate guide so you can figure out which one to visit this fall season. I’ve included everything you need to know, like if they offer u-pick apples, a pumpkin patch, hayrides, or corn mazes, plus their current hours and special activities. Whether you’re looking for somewhere to take the whole family, plan a fall date, or just enjoy some Central Indiana apple picking, there is definitely an option for you here.
*Dates have been updated to reflect the 2026 fall season. I work on updating this list frequently, but I always recommend double-checking their websites or social media pages before planning your trip for the most up-to-date information.

Stuckey Farm is located north of Indy in Sheridan. It is one of my favorite apple orchards near Indianapolis! 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, and they have varieties of apples. 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.

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!

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.
