Waterman’s Family Farm
With two Indy area locations, Waterman’s Family Farm has been bringing fall fun to the Circle City for decades! You can head to the Raymond Street location in Indianapolis or venture south on 37 to the Greenwood location. Choose from both pumpkin pie pumpkins and those best suited to carve your own jack-o-lantern. Be sure you pick up amazing locally grown produce of every variety. My favorite experience at Waterman’s Family Farm is Tyranni T. Dinosaur, the pumpkin-chomping dinosaur (Raymond Street location). Find all of the special events, attractions, and more here.
