Exploration Acres is home to Northwest Indiana's Largest corn maze and pumpkin patch. This year's 18 acre maze, with more than eight miles of paths, celebrates 1964 and features the Beatles, the Ford Mustang, the Kennedy half dollar, Muhammad Ali, and Mr. Potato Head. Come enjoy our fire pits, play area, laser tag combat zone, hayrides and country store. A variety of food is available at the farm, but you may bring your own.

Corn Maze:
Our corn maze is 18 acres. Rewards from 28 advertisers are hidden through out. All you need is a maze map and a desire to explore more than 9 miles of paths. As you find each reward, punch your map to claim your rewards from participating advertisers.

Pumpkin Patch:
Every good Jack-O-Lantern begins as a great pumpkin. Come find yours at the Exploration Acres pumpkin patch! Sprawling over 11 acres, the patch has 38 varieties of pumpkins and gourds to choose from. We also have plenty of wagons available so you don’t have to worry about carrying them. They range in weight from 1 to 200 pounds.

Hayrides:
No visit to the farm is complete without a hayride. Tour the grounds of Exploration Acres aboard a spacious hay wagon pulled by an antique tractor. It is a relaxing way to get to and from the maze and pumpkin patch.

Straw Mound:
Dive into the simple joys of yesteryear by jumping into the big mound of straw in Exploration Acres’ play area. Toss some straw in the air or bury your friend. It is the ultimate experience in good, clean fun.
