30 Best Pumpkin Patches & Farms to Find Fall Fun Around IN, IL and KY
Fall means something different to each of us. For some, it is all about the hayrides and apple cider. For others, it's the pumpkin patches and corn mazes. And for still others, there's the fun of taking the kids for a day of outdoor farm adventure.
Personally, I love fall, and especially Halloween. We all know you cannot celebrate Halloween without a proper jack-o-lantern, which starts with the perfect pumpkin. Sure you can go to a big chain box store to buy your pumpkin but it is so much more satisfying and fun to go out into a patch and pick your perfect jack-o-lantern pumpkin yourself. So if you're looking for the perfect pumpkin check out one of the options we've got below for area pumpkin patches and farms.
The other great thing about this time of year, of course, are the hayrides and corn mazes and in this part Midwest, there is no shortage. If these are your idea for a fun fall time, keep scrolling to find out some of the best in the region.
