Hancock County has many fun things to do in the fall season, but we love Piney Acres in Fortville. During the fall season, this Christmas Tree farm offers family-friendly fun and turns into a hauntingly scary adventure on Friday and Saturday evenings. Located 30 minutes east of Indianapolis, Piney Acres has much to offer for the whole family and teenagers, too!
Things to do at Piney Acres Farm Pumpkin Patch
Piney Acres is a Christmas Tree wonderland in the winter, but during autumn, Piney Acres embraces the fall season with corn mazes, hayrides, bonfires, a pumpkin patch, and family fun.
There is so much fun to be had at Piney Acres, where there are many activities for the whole family to participate in.
Kids will want to spend the day doing all of the different attractions. You’ll find a pedal cart track with bikes of various sizes for multiple ages and sizes. There is a cow barrel train, which is pulled by a tractor. There’s also an inflatable jump pad, which has always been a kid favorite! Kids will love climbing on Other features include the indoor spinning Tumbleweed Tumbler, the Hillbilly Roller, which is a giant tube on a track that kids can have fun pushing by themselves or as a team, a pig race track, where kids sit and maneuver a pig on to reach the other end of the track, a rope maze, a climbing haystack, different outdoor games including a life-size chess and checker game set, and a playground that features climbing walls, slides and a spider web rope climb area, swings, and a sand pit play area.
There are live animals like goats and pigs that you can feed; unique to Piney Acres is that they have deer.
In Indiana, it is an unwritten rule that if you are open in the fall, you must have a corn maze. Piney Acres has two separate corn mazes, a 7-acre and 1-acre, with different difficulty levels.
The admission price includes a bag of gems to uncover in the mining mill.
Check out the hayride and train rides, which take you around the property so you can get a full view of how massive the property is as they prep for the holidays.
There are plenty of photo opportunities at Piney Acres, which include many different face cutouts and, of course, the giant rocking chair. Pick out a pumpkin in their outdoor pre-picked selection of pumpkins and gourds outside or at their indoor market.
When you first enter Piney Acres, you enter through their store, where the friendly staff is happy to assist you. Inside is a store filled with cute Christmas ornaments, decor, fun Knick knacks, and candy for the kids.
Also inside is a cafe area where you can purchase apple cider, apple cider slushies, donuts, caramel apples, and other snacks and hot food options. The dining hall has plenty of seating, and a large fireplace offers a cozy aesthetic.
