Destinations / North America

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.

The Apple Works, Trafalgar

Just south of Indianapolis, The Apple Works is an apple orchard and pumpkin patch and, come fall, hosts live music, animals and other attractions.

 

Beasley’s Orchard, Danville

Take the family on a hayride to the pumpkin patch, shoot apples from an apple cannon, enjoy the barnyard bonanza or navigate the corn maze at this orchard. And during the first two weekends of October, the orchard hosts the Heartland Apple Festival.

 

Fowler Pumpkin Patch, Bloomington

This family-friendly destination offers a corn maze, animal exhibits, pumpkin patch, hayrides and more.

 

Huber’s Orchard & Winery, Borden

A great way to introduce kids to U-Pick farming, this orchard also boasts pedal karts, slides and mazes. And parents can even relax with a wine tour and live music.

Delicious eats and drinks, live music, a vast corn maze, pumpkin patch and more await at this family-centric farm.

This Hotel is the Perfect Base for Families in Tokyo

For years, whenever I asked my children where they wanted to go next, the answer was always the same. “Take us to Japan,” they said. When we finally made it, I put a lot of thought into where to stay.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.
