Land of the Free

Exploration Acres in Lafayette, Indiana rolls out its largest, most intricate design to date for the 2026 autumn season with a massive tribute celebrating America's 250th anniversary. This sprawling 22-acre corn labyrinth features an extraordinary landscape intricately carved into ten miles of winding trails, bringing historic icons of American freedom and hard work to life directly in the field. Visitors can lose themselves in the towering stalks while navigating past a majestic eagle head, a waving flag, Uncle Sam, and the powerful image of Rosie the Riveter standing side-by-side with a classic farm tractor. As families solve the puzzles and track down multiple advertiser checkpoint rewards, they will also maneuver through the detailed torch and crown of the magnificent Statue of Liberty. Outside the maze complex, the farm festival keeps the family-friendly harvest celebration going with tractor-pulled wagon rides, an 11-acre pumpkin patch, a giant tube slide, and private fire pit rentals.
