Stuckey Farms in Sheridan, Indiana
little Indiana and sons took off for an afternoon of fun at Stuckey Farms in Sheridan, Indiana.
A destination unto itself, its new attraction Adventure Acres, really made Stuckey Farms a great place to play for all ages!
Stuckey Farm: Adventure Acres in Sheridan, Indiana
More than just a lovely Indiana apple orchard with 4,000 apple trees (and 27 different kinds of apples), Stuckey Farm has rolled out Adventure Acres, a family fun destination!
Wagon ride? Check. Corn Maze? Check. In fact, this corn maize is a bit different from others you may have done in the past. You don’t get a map to begin. Instead, look for various checkpoints scattered throughout the maze.
These checkpoints contain the map to help you plot your way! With three mazes to choose from ranging roughly 15 minutes long to somewhere between 45 minutes to an hour, you’ve got options!
Indiana Apple Orchard

Sure, there’s the familiar sight of Indiana you-pick apples but kids are going to hone in on the pedal tractors! These are unlike any pedal tractor I’ve seen before!
They aren’t the typical vintage metal pedal tractors you’ve problem seen at numerous Indiana pumpkin patches and apple orchards in the past, these are larger and made for bigger kids! Our *almost* four year old couldn’t quite reach the pedals so he sat on my lap and I drove.
Later, I noticed the really nice kid that helps out at Stuckey Farm actually pushing him along the entire track! Isn’t that the nicest thing ever? Ah, the friendliness of a small Indiana town!
Kid #2 hopped off so I could race Kid #1 and the helper (I feel so badly that I didn’t catch his name). That was so fun! I smiled so much my face hurt!
Adventure Acres Attractions
There’s still more to do at Stuckey Farm! This Hamilton County apple orchard has a gigantic mound of dirt! Climb it and kids will be rewarded with a very long tunnel slide to the bottom. It’s slow moving enough that even the littlest members of your group will enjoy it yet dark enough that bigger kids will like it too!
Eventually though, most of the kids gravitated to the dirt! What kid can resist a giant dirt pile? The answer looked to be very few indeed.
Tractors always manage to attract kids and when our boys had a chance to sit inside the animal-themed buckets for a tractor ride, well, they ditched the dirt and ran! As you can see, driving is very serious business to Kid #2!
