## What you can do at L&A Family Farms

### Fall: corn maze + pumpkin patch + nighttime options
On the farm’s main page, “fall activities” are described as a bundle that includes:
– 10-acre corn maze
– Flashlight night corn maze
– Haunted corn maze
– Pumpkin patch
– Photo scavenger hunt game and lock box challenges Family Farms

If you care about the maze itself (not just photos), the farm describes the corn maze as having five separate mazes accessible from a central courtyard, with hidden checkpoints that can include “fun facts or tasks,” and a prize wheel concept for completions. Family Farms

Practical planning detail: the farm posts cutoff times for entries (for example, corn maze entry ending at certain times). That matters if you’re arriving late. Family Farms

### Summer: sunflower maze + U-pick fields
The farm’s summer page spells out a sunflower offering with:
– 40+ varieties of sunflowers, including giant (10–15 ft) and dwarf (1–2 ft) types Family Farms
– Admission that includes a wagon ride to the field, plus one free sunflower bloom (U-pick) with admission Family Farms

It also lists U-pick flower offerings (separate from the sunflower maze), including a detailed inventory of flower types and pricing that’s useful if you’re going specifically to pick stems rather than walk a maze. Family Farms

## Hours and seasons (and what to double-check)

### Fall hours (as published on the farm site)
The farm’s main page states fall activities “open on September 19th and go through November 1,” with these weekly patterns:
– Mon–Thu: reserved for pre-scheduled field trips and private group events
– Fri: 7 PM – 10 PM
– Sat: 12 PM – 10 PM
– Sun: 12 PM – 6 PM
It also lists specific “entry ends” cutoffs for the corn maze and U-pick pumpkin patch. Family Farms

Outdated-data flag: the fall date range (Sept 19–Nov 1) is shown on the page without a clearly visible year in the excerpted text. Before you plan a long drive, treat that as schedule guidance, not a guarantee, and confirm via their current “book your visit”/ticketing flow or latest posts. Family Farms

### Summer hours (as published on the farm site)
The summer page lists:
– Mon–Fri: 9 AM – 12 PM & 5 PM – 8 PM
– Sat: 10 AM – 6 PM
– Sun: 12 PM – 6 PM
It also repeats the Central Standard Time note (one hour behind Indiana time). Family Farms

It additionally notes a specific window (“Starting August 19th thru September 13th* (If the flowers cooperate)”) for part of the U-pick operation—so bloom timing is treated as weather/field-dependent in their own wording. Family Farms

## Groups, private events, and farm logistics (useful if you’re planning with a crew)
The farm promotes private groups for church groups, clubs, corporate days, and gatherings, suggesting Monday–Thursday as the window for more private experiences, and encourages contacting them to schedule. Family Farms

## Inclusivity, accessibility, and what’s not stated
L&A Family Farms’ published pages and the snippets reviewed here don’t provide detailed accessibility information (e.g., surface type for paths, wheelchair access, accessible restrooms, sensory considerations, or accessibility accommodations). If that matters for your group, the most factual next step is to contact the farm directly using the phone/email they publish. Family Farms
