Each fall, as the leaves change colors and the summer heat begins to cool off, there is a place locals and visitors to the Northwest Indiana area can go and celebrate the change of seasons. That place is Exploration Acres Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch.
From their famous corn maze to hayrides, there is fun to be had for all ages at Exploration Acres. Just put on your flannel shirt, pack up the family, and take a trip to Exploration Acres Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch this fall!
Find Your Way Through Their Corn Maze
Spanning over 18 acres of land and with over nine miles of paths, the corn maze at Exploration Acres is the largest in Northwest Indiana! Whether you stop by with family or friends, you and your group can enter their maze with nothing more than a map and your sense of direction!
As you make it through each twist and turn in the maze, you’ll want to watch out for dead ends while also collecting all the rewards as you go. With dozens of rewards from local businesses, you can earn much more than just the satisfaction of making it through their maze, so make sure to look out for those coupons along the way.
Hang Out in the Pumpkin Patch
No fall is complete without pumpkins! With acres of pumpkins of all sizes, Exploration Acres is the place to go when you are looking to get some for decorations or even to eat.
That’s right. You can grab the perfect pumpkin from their wide selection to make that homemade pumpkin pie from scratch. You can also pick up a few pumpkins to help decorate outside your home for the season.
Also, let your kids pick out their own pumpkins, which they can bring home and carve for Halloween! While in the pumpkin patch, be sure to snap a few festive photos of the little ones!
