If you can, go here at least once in your life! What do they have? SUPER large and awesome corn maze, HUGE pumpkin patch, fun mini-games for families and friends, small vendors with super yummy coffee / apple cider / chai / hot cocoa (even slushies!), a campfire you can rent with gasoline and logs included, a smores kit you can get, picnic tables, a super cute shop with little nik-naks and shirts with the design of the maze on it, yummy food / bakery items, and even a free hay ride! Absolutely obsessed with this maze and all it's coupons throughout! I drive hours just to go with my friends each year; haven't found one I've liked better!

We travel over an hour EVERY year to Exploration Acres. What these guys have put together is one of the most incredible fall experiences around! And they even manage to improve on it every year.
Pumpkins galore. Tons of activities for youngsters. Our teenagers take off and find fun too. Cornhole, basketball, cart racing, lazertag and of course the maze. Fun for all ages. And super safe.
Pre-renting a fire pit is 100% worth it! I highly recommend doing it in late Aug early Sept (See there website)
You can bring your own food (there are some vendors if you don't), bring your own chairs, coolers, wagons... whatever. They start the fires and supply the wood.
There's even flushing toilets lol.
Again, we've been going here since 2019 and it's The Best fall experience in Indiana🧡

Worth the visit. Kids 5 and under are free. Large pumpkin patch, huge corn maze that is well outlined and clear where the path is. Great hours to accommodate all ages.

This is a great place for families to get away from the hustle of the city. They have quite a few activities for children, including a tube slide, hay tunnels, sand box, trike riding, and hay rides. It's not a bad way to spend an afternoon.

They also go all out on their theming. 2023 was dinosaur themed and they had dinosaur warning signs around, a real dinosaur, and, of course, the corn maze was an elaborate dinosaur design.

Visiting the corn maze at night is a different experience. Get your headlamps out and enjoy the corn from a new vantage point. Get lost. Lose your mind. Just remember that the bright lights are the center of the maze.

We as a family I’ve been going to exploration acres for several years now. We always have a great time.

They do a great job with their corn maze. Once we found this corn maze, we never looked for another. You can have the fun experience of getting your own pumpkin out in the field they have all kinds of concessions and little stores.

One of our favorite things is renting a fire pit area. They do a good job of maintaining the fire and it’s nice having your own area to put your stuff and to eat. We enjoy spending time together as a family with some chairs around the fire and using the bench to lay out all the food.

There are also a lot of other great activities to do like laser tag or racing in little cars that you pedal. They have huge barrels you can get in and race. Places for the kids to play. It is a perfect family environment.

Way overpriced. Went on a Thursday with my 4 children, hoping it wouldn’t be packed, but it was full of teenagers & college kids who were basically playing on everything but the things geared at very little kids. They were even on the slides & straw pit. I didn’t feel it was very family friendly. My husband works weekends, so this was the only day he could go. It got dark after one hour of opening. We never even got to get a pumpkin. We paid $55 for my kids to play in corn, bounce on balls, race rubber ducks, and wait in a long line to go inside the barrel roll thing. Some of the staff seemed very rude. Won’t be coming back! The pumpkin patch in Idaville has free fire pits, has no fee to get in, has a better variety of pumpkins, & has kind staff. They were very family friendly!

Awesome place to spend 2-3 hours. This year they had 4 zombie themed corn mazes. Two of which were short and the other two long. They had check points after every interval with exciting discounts for stores in Lafayette and West Lafayette. Food trucks and children's play areas are also there. Laser tag and pumpkin patch. Student ticket was 11$. A must visit Fall attraction.
