Was pretty cool. My 3 year old loved it. My older kids not so much but they did enjoy the pumpkin patch. They do have a huge pumpkin patch compared to some and the corn maze is huge but people have plowed down a lot of it. They also have huge pumpkins for 20 dollars which is a good price.

We had such a great time! My kids want to try to go back again before they close for the season. It is worth the drive. It is a hour and 20 min from my house.

This place is pretty great. This place is massssive. The small spruce you pay is very worth the experience. The corn maze is impressively fun and well kept. Plenty of food options and many many things for children. Masks preferred currently 10/15) and plenty of public hand sanitization stations throughout the hands on stuff. Shops there too for fall related shtuff.. Hay rides, Pumpkin patch, small play-lime ride activities and slides.

Great time for families and non-families alike! My friends and I had a great time riding on the hay rides, racing each other in bumper car knock-offs, and picking pumpkins. The pumpkins are reasonably priced (we paid $11 for multiple pumpkins, including a HUGE carving pumpkin), and the lemonade refreshers are not to be missed! Unfortunately we didnt have time to make it to the corn maze, but it was worth every penny and we plan to do it again next year!

Great place with a huge number of things to do. Fire pits are great fun but reserve one early. Lots of county fair type good if you wish. I was surprised, it had rained the day before but the maze was still fairly mud free. Great for families as well.

Here right now. Lots of participants and vendors without masks. Especially at Texas roadhouse booth. Clearly not enforced, despite websites safety message. Not worth your safety. Pretty crowded. Go elsewhere. There are many pumpkin patches to choose from.

This place is the best to go to for some fall spirit! Besides the awesome corn maze, there is also places to buy food, a pumpkin patch, games and a kid playground, and a beautiful lit up campsite area!

Always an enjoyable time with the kids. We meet with our family and all the kids eat & play together in the maze. The fire pits are wonderfully warm and cozy and not very pricey either.

This place is pretty cool. It has a huge corn maze that gets really dark at night. Its fun to run around in. We also rented one of the fire pit areas with a picnic table. We got on the hayride as well.

And lots of activities for kids. Especially younger kids. The place is quite crowded on weekends in the fall. great place to take kids during the week if youre homeschooling or theyre not in school yet

Great place for family fun. Always adding new things every year. Just sad when people go in and wreck the maze because they are to lazy to walk around 30 steps.

Pumpkin patch was lacking some this year, but the corn maze is awesome as usual. Bring a compass or download a compass app on your phone.

Amazing Netflix Stranger Things theme, props, and corn maze! Great for families and adults. Take pics by Chief Hoppers car, light up letters, and kids fort. They really went all out and it looks authentic. Then go through their corn maze thats in the shape of the show! Such a good deal, only $9.50 per person to get in for the entire place. Theres also food, cider, a pumpkin patch, and activities for kids.

Great fun, however, few masks and hardy any social distancing. Very crowded this Sunday afternoon.

Great place to visit but most people were not wearing masks.

Review №26

The corn maze is tons of fun, but the best part is you can rent a spot for three hours by a campfire (best time to do it is last shift from 8-11pm), and just sit and relax. Each of the campfire spots are pretty decently far away from each other, so you dont have people on top of each other from different groups. The staff here also supplies the wood, and will even build the fire for you.

Awesome corn maze! Fun for the whole family. The coupon hunt through the maze is really cute. I like the Chevy coupon, test drive a car and get a $25 walmart gift card! Only $7.50 for adults with group discount we got. Highly recommended!

Great place to take the kids, but fun for all ages! A nice place to spend a few hours and get into the fall spirit. Friendly staff, and reasonable prices. You could spend all day in the corn maze. If you put your time in the maze you can get discounts from local merchants who help sponsor the maze.

Great child play stations and has a great and transparent method of pricing pumpkins. Only 9 dollars admission for children and 12 dollars for adults. Well worth it with free activities.

Had a great time with friends. You get a discount if you are a Purdue student. You can spend from 1 hour to a whole day depending on the number of Mazes and activities you want to do

Had the best experience here- loved the corn maze with the local business coupons to punch at different checkpoints- great incentive to navigate with intention! We also enjoyed collecting pumpkins from the maze and loved the food too! What an awesome place!

Je
Review №40

I go every year and every year I am always glad that I went. Just be sure to bring a jacket because it gets cold and windy. Especially if you plan on staying later. Another great thing is the coupons you can get by completing parts of the corn maze. Also the corn maze is beautiful. Couple who are looking for the perfect picture may also be interested in going because of the bridge in the center of the maze. At sunset it makes for the most beautiful possible picture.

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. Its not a bad way to spend an afternoon.

Awesome fun day with family. Plenty of things to do for the young or old. Huge pumpkin patch. Never seen white pumpkins. Great selection small or big and you can take the pumpkins off the vine. Nice clean bathrooms. Great concessions at a reasonable price. Brought cash but didnt need it as every vendor took credit cards.

The corn maze here is amazing! It is very large with several different mazes in total! Throughout the maze are hole punches you can use to get coupons to over 25 different businesses! In addition to the maze, there was several other attractions, including, but not limited to; Lazer tag, pumpkin patch, a slide, a hayride, and much more!

Review №55

I think Exploration Acres is a great place to go to. I loved all the different things you could do, like going though the maze, getting a picture in front of the billboard that said Stranger Things on it, and playing other small games they had. Its a great way to spend time with family, get out, and make memories. Its really a beautiful place yall. This place will defiantly expect me and my family every year. And we might even go again after that in the same month. Its a very nice placeYou defiantly wont regret it.

Fantastic place to bring the family for a great fall day. Lots of activities outside of just the cornmaze, and many food options to ensure you dont have to leave between activities.

The Halloween/fall activities were fun. The corn mazes were a bit too hard to navigate though. A bit pricey all around, but thats to be expected.

We love this place!! If you actually want to do the maze, go early. We went a few days before Halloween and it was trashed. People just plow through the corn and run the whole experience.

Nice place to spend a Sunday afternoon. Intricate corn maze, with lots of things for the kiddos to do. Most of the activities are a la carte so with the admission can get a bit pricey.

Review №75

We went on a really hot day, so we didnt make it through the whole corn maze, but it was my first time there even though i have lived in the community. I loved it! I love the pick your own pumpkin, you pay for pumpkins by the pound, so you just pick what you want and wiegh it. Its very reasonablly priced as well.

Very well organized and there was lots of activities for kids! We came specifically for the Stranger Things theme and it did not disappoint! The people working there were very friendly. The lines were long, but didnt take long at all. If you print out your tickets from the website, you wont have to stand in line at all to get in! Only concern I had was once it got dark in the maze, you couldnt see a thing, so bring a flashlight!

Review №82

There was so much to do and was very family friendly. We happened to go on an extremely windy day so it was pretty cold. The kids had fun in the maze which was very vast and had stations to punch your card to receive discounts at various places. There were props from the show Stranger Things that you would take pictures by. All in all great experience and looking forward to next year and hopefully itll be less windy.

Review №83

Great maze! Too bad some people have cut their own paths in certain sections. There are other activities if you have kids which is nice. Would have been nice to have more than just 1 light in the maze, allow earlier entrance, or selling flashlights. I was lucky to have a lantern in the car, it wasnt part of my original plan.

We love this place! We go every year as a family and it is one of our favorite fall traditions! We love the activities, punching off coupons in the maze, playing games, and going down the giant slide. Definitely a must do for families.

We try to get out here every year for the corn maze. Always a fun time, and they keep adding more features to their fall setup to make for a well rounded experience. The most recent season had a local BBQ place on site providing full meals. Elephant ears and kettle corn are great, but sometimes you just need a little more sustenance - especially after hiking around in the corn maze and pumpkin patch!

18 acres, 9 miles, 4 mazes with checkpoints. $10 admission. Nice themes too!

For such price, it was more than I expected. Just be careful inside the maze as it could get really muddy. The rewards, they’re okay. Some are greats some are fine. There were a lot of other activities there too

Took my family on the almost 2hr road trip to the place and it paid off. Spent hours there. My little girl got in free, the wife and i was 10 a peice. We took hay rides, my little girl got to ride on a tractor train style ride pulled by a guy on a riding lawn mower. Huge corn maze, gem mining, HUMONGOUS pick your own pumpkin patch, pumpkins are 0.35 a pound. They had big play sand pit, and a corn crib that they filled about a foot deep with dryed corn that my little girl and i played in like a ball pit. I might have partially barried her in corn like a day at the beach...It was a memory making experience.

Exploration Acres is the perfect place for a fall adventure. They have tons of fun activities for kids, a huge pumpkin patch, hayrides, and one of the top rated corn mazes in the country! Definitely recommend checking it out.
