Indianapolis Pumpkin Patch Guide :: theCityMoms Picks
theCityMoms dish on our top picks for Indianapolis pumpkin patch fun.
Nothing says Fall more than Pumpkin Spice Lattes, oh and of course the annual family pumpkin picking trip. Lucky for us, the typical Midwestern fall weather provides the perfect backdrop, and it looks like the temperature is finally going to start cooperating. Local venues are offering much more than just the traditional pick your pumpkin experience. Here is where our CityMoms are heading with their families to get into the autumnal spirit:

Tuttle Orchards, Greenfield
Tuttle Orchards really is an experience. There are so many activities and sights to see that it is best to go when you have some time on your hands. Make sure you leave room for the Farm Store and most importantly the Sweet Shop. We like to play a game called “How many pumpkin donuts can we bring home without looking crazy.” theCityMoms Pro Tip: Buy tickets for the Behind the Scenes Apple Tour if you just can’t get enough!
What our CityMoms are saying:
“There’s a ton to do! It’s not just pumpkins.” - Holly
“They just have so much to do, and the caramel apples are fantastic.” - Kendra
Pleasant View Orchard, Fairland
This family-owned farm features apples galore, a playground, and wagon rides back to the pick-your-own-pumpkin patch. We hear the fried biscuits and apple butter are to die for, as is the homemade hot apple cobbler a la mode. Yes please.
What our CityMoms are saying:
“We love the wagon ride back to the you-pick-patch.” - Victoria
Stuckey Farm Orchard and Cider Mill, Sheridan
This farm has something for everyone from u-pick apples to fresh and locally grown fruits and vegetables to the traditional fall fare such as the pumpkin patch. theCityMoms Pro Tip: Visit on weekends until October 21 to experience the Harvest Festival for only $12.50 per person where guests can enjoy a corn maze, the Adventure Acres play area, a 60-foot slide, and an apple cannon. That’s right, an apple cannon. This is a can’t miss event for the family.
What our CityMoms are saying:
“They have a great play area with lots of activities.” - Nicole
Spencer Farm, Noblesville
Traditionally thought of as a berry farm, Spencer Fam has plenty of fall offerings for the family. Free hayrides transport guests back to the pumpkin patch.
