Take the Kids to These U-Pick Farms in Indiana

Fall is more than leaf-peeping. Let’s face it, kids will get bored pretty quickly if a family trip only involves seeing fall foliage. Luckily, autumn signals many other changes, too, including harvests. And Indiana is home to some of the most charming U-Pick farms where kids not only get the chance to select their own pumpkins and/or apples, but they also can take part in corn mazes.

Here’s your 2025 guide to family-friendly U-Pick farms in Indiana this fall:

Cornucopia Farm, Salem

This farm is open through mid-October and features corn and soybean mazes. Kids will especially love the petting farms and pumpkin patches. And when hunger strikes, head to the café for tasty burgers and sweet treats.
