2026 Fall Family Fun

With the cooler weather coming in, we're all thinking about Fall! Take a day to enjoy the season at one of the below farms made for fall fun. Enjoy pumpkin patches, corn mazes, hay rides, farm animals, and more! Many options exist within an hour of Kosciusko. Most include a variety of attractions to entertain children of all ages - perfect for a day trip. Enjoy from Mid-September thru end of October!

By the way - The Big Gray Barn Co. You-Pic is a newer addition located within Kosciusko! It doesn't have all the rides and activities, but if you want a pumpkin and flower patch to pick stuff up at, it's local!

• Echoes Of The Past: Warsaw, IN; one weekend each October enjoy free family fun including haunted hayride, corn pit, barrel train, and more. Food available to purchase onsite.

• Thistleberry Farm: South Bend, IN

• Trowbridge Farms: Kendallville, IN

• Amazing Fall Fun: Waterloo, IN

• Amazing Acres: Edwardsburg, MI

• Knollbrook Farm: Goshen, IN

• Pumpkin Fantasyland: Ligonier, IN - no longer operating

• Hilger Family Farm: Fort Wayne, IN

• Robert's Farm: Wawaka, IN

• Long Lake Resort: North Manchester, IN

You may be wondering, are all of these places the same? What's different, besides their location? The easiest way to describe it is like a grocery store. They all pretty much have the same selection of items, but in different layouts and with different vibes.

I've personally visited Echoes of the Past, Robert's Farm, Pumpkin Fantasyland, Thistleberry Farm, and Knollbrook Farm. Which location is your favorite?

Bonus! Some nearby apple orchards

• Community Apple Orchard: Winona Lake, IN (in Kosciusko!)

• Miller's Orchard: Nappanne, IN

• Kercher's Orchard: Goshen, IN
