Indy's Best Places to Get in the Fall Spirit

Of all of the seasons, fall has the most specific themed activities that come around only once a year. I don't know about you, but I feel like I get so hyped up for the fun seasonal activities, but before I know it I've blinked and winter is here, and I've missed my chance. Well, now I am here to help with this list of festive fall things to do in the Indianapolis area. Go forth and embrace the fleeting joys of warm cider and pumpkin patches before it is too late!

1. Lilly Orchard at Park Tudor School

If you are craving all the wonderful food that fall brings, then this is your place. This neighborhood shop is the mecca for anything your heart desires, from apples to cider to locally crafted pies. Indulge in all of the delicacies of the season while you can, because they only come around once a year.

2. Halloween ZooBoo at the Indianapolis Zoo

Stop by any October weekend from 2-7pm to experience Halloween-themed animal chats, or head to the elephant exhibit to watch the elephants smashing pumpkins to get to their favorite treat! There are activities specifically for kids, but who says you can't embrace your inner child while getting in the Halloween spirit?

3. Stuckey Farm Market and Harvest Festival

There is no better way to get in the fall spirit than a day filled with wagon rides, corn mazes, apple picking and pumpkin patches. Pay only $10 for an all-day pass to all the Harvest Festival has to offer.

4. Historic Irvington Halloween Festival

This week-long Halloween celebration includes a five-mile "vampire run," street fairs, musicians, Halloween-themed movies, contests, ghost tours, a masquerade ball and much more! This is a must-see event for all Halloween lovers.

5. Indy Scream Park Haunted House

If you are someone who just enjoys the fear of this holiday, then this haunted house is for you. Despite being only 30 minutes from downtown, arriving at the Scream Park means becoming surrounded by dense forests and thick cornfields. With a choice of six different attractions, either indoor or outdoor, there is something here for any fear fanatic.

6. Tuttle Orchards

If you are not into all of the frills of fall activities, then head to Tuttle Orchards and enjoy the serenity of their apple orchard and pumpkin patch. Nothing says fall like coming home with a big bag of apples hand-picked with love.


Get outside and embrace the beautiful season while you can, because you will be bundled up inside, hiding from the snow before you know it!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
