What is Fall without visiting a pumpkin patch or corn maze?! Boring, that’s what it is. For those of you looking for an east-central Indiana pumpkin patch, I’ve got a list of them for you! This started as a list of eight and has grown. These pumpkin patches are all located throughout east-central Indiana, such as east Noblesville, Fortville, Daleville, Yorktown, Cambridge City, and Pendleton. They are also within a short driving distance of Muncie, Indianapolis, Marion, and Ohio.
