A long nine-week season with a genuinely optional $10 play-area ticket, undercut by one scheduling fact that catches Indianapolis families out every year: Tuttle is closed every Sunday.
FarmYard admission is $10 per person for ages 2 and up (ages 1 and under free); a $30 season pass gives unlimited FarmYard admission through October 31. The farm market, cafe and grounds can be visited without a FarmYard ticket, and u-pick apples, pumpkins and flowers are charged separately by weight or item.
Rough cost for a family of four: about $40.00 in admission alone at the posted starting rate, before pumpkins, food, parking or any add-on listed above. Most families end up well north of that once they are through the gate.
Tuttle runs a two-tier model, and understanding it is most of what you need before you drive out to Hancock County. Tier one is free: the farm market, the cafe and sweet shop, and the grounds. Tier two is the FarmYard, a ticketed play area at $10 a head for everyone aged two and up. U-pick apples, pumpkins and flowers sit outside both, charged by weight or item.
This matters more than it sounds. At most central Indiana attraction farms the gate ticket is compulsory, so a family that only wants a pumpkin and a bag of apples still pays for rides they will not use. Here you can park, walk into the market, eat at the cafe, pick apples and buy pumpkins for exactly the cost of the produce. A household of four doing that spends whatever the apples and pumpkins come to and nothing more.
Pay the $10 and the arithmetic changes fast. A family of four with two children over two pays $40 at the gate. A family of five pays $50. That is not unreasonable for a play area billed at 30-plus activities - straw mountain, a giant slide, farm trikes, grain bin basketball, a corn crib, a willow maze - but it is a real decision rather than a formality, and it is worth making it honestly based on whether your children will use it for three hours or twenty minutes.
The season pass is the interesting number. At $30 per person it costs three FarmYard visits’ worth of admission and covers unlimited entry through October 31. For a Greenfield or east-side Indianapolis family with young children and nine weeks of season ahead, that is straightforwardly good value. For anyone driving more than half an hour, once is once and the pass is money set on fire.
Tuttle is closed every Sunday. That is unusual among farms of this size, and it reshapes the week: Saturday becomes the only weekend day, which concentrates every family that cannot get away midweek into a single day. If you have any weekday flexibility at all, use it - a Tuesday or Wednesday morning in this nine-week season is a completely different farm from a Saturday in mid-October.
The calendar has three phases. From August 28 it is apples and flowers. From September 18 the u-pick pumpkin field opens and the farm becomes a pumpkin destination as well as an orchard. Through October the hours stretch an hour later, to 7pm, and the themed weekends stack up: Flower Days, Honeycrisp Days, a Caramel Apple Festival, the pumpkin-patch opening.
Those themed weekends are a genuine reason to check the calendar rather than just picking a free Saturday. They are also, predictably, the busiest dates on the schedule. If the theme is what you want, accept the crowd; if it is not, a plain weekend is a calmer visit for the same money.
One seasonal note for late October: the 7pm close is generous on paper, but by the last week of the month central Indiana loses daylight before six. Apple rows and a willow maze after dark are not the visit you booked, so treat late-afternoon as the practical end of a picking trip rather than the posted hour.
The record does not cover parking surface, restroom facilities, stroller access on the orchard rows, or whether the FarmYard has shade. We have not visited. The address is a county road north-west of Greenfield, which tells you to expect a farm lot rather than asphalt, but the rest is genuinely unknown and worth a call if anyone in your group has mobility needs.
The 2026 season runs August 28 through October 31, Monday to Saturday. If pumpkins are the point, do not come before September 18 - that is when the u-pick pumpkin field opens, and an earlier trip is apples and flowers only. October hours extend to 9am-7pm from 9am-6pm in September, so October gives you an extra evening hour. A weekday morning in late September or early October is the quietest combination on offer.
Two hours if you are picking apples and buying a pumpkin without the FarmYard ticket. Three to four if you pay the $10 - the play area is billed as 30-plus activities and children will not do it justice in ninety minutes.
Nine weeks is a long season, which spreads demand better than the three-weekend farms nearby. But losing Sunday pushes the whole weekend onto Saturday, so Saturdays here carry more than their usual share. The themed weekends - Flower Days, Honeycrisp Days, the Caramel Apple Festival and the pumpkin-patch opening - are the peaks.
Not published. This is a rural Hancock County site on a county road, so expect an unpaved lot and soft ground after October rain.
Sunday is your only free day. Tuttle closes every Sunday all season, without exception in the published calendar. Skip it too if you were coming in early September expecting a pumpkin field - that does not open until September 18.
No. The farm is open Monday through Saturday and closed every Sunday for the whole 2026 season. This is the single most common planning mistake here.
Entering the farm market, cafe and grounds is free. The FarmYard play area costs $10 per person for ages 2 and up, with ages 1 and under free, or $30 for an unlimited season pass through October 31. U-pick apples, pumpkins and flowers are charged separately.
September 18, 2026. Apple picking starts earlier, from the August 28 season opening, so a trip before September 18 is an apple-and-flower visit rather than a pumpkin one.
9am-6pm from August 28 through September 30, then 9am-7pm through October 31, Monday to Saturday.
August 28 – October 31, 2026. Monday-Saturday; always closed Sunday. Hours: 9am-6pm August 28-September 30; 9am-7pm October 1-31.
Admission starts at $10 per person. FarmYard admission is $10 per person for ages 2 and up (ages 1 and under free); a $30 season pass gives unlimited FarmYard admission through October 31. The farm market, cafe and grounds can be visited without a FarmYard ticket, and u-pick apples, pumpkins and flowers are charged separately by weight or item.
