Families don’t have to leave city limits to enjoy a fall farm experience. Waterman’s Family Farm Fall Festival returns Sept. 26 through Nov. 1, 2026, bringing autumn fun with hayrides, pumpkin picking, games, carnival rides, a petting zoo, corn maze and more. Among the festival’s kid-friendly attractions are Waterman’s giant animatronic pumpkin-eating dinosaur, dino fossil dig and apple cannon, which sends apples flying across the farm. Family operated since the 1970s, Waterman’s offers families a chance to enjoy the traditions of fall and a little taste of the country without leaving Indianapolis.
