Best for Ages: 4 and up for the play area/ all ages for the orchard
To Do: We went on a day in October when there were no more apples to pick. During picking season all fruit is $1.69 per pound. Although we weren't picking fruit, we did stay to play. They have these great wooden trains that take you on a bumpy ride into the orchard and over to the play area. The trains have been around forever and I swear I remember them from my childhood. Amelia was squealing and waving the whole ride. We got there very early and it seemed that the staff wasn't there and that there were a lot more things to do that just weren't open, like a small food stand. It was fairly quiet. I'm sure during picking season, it is very busy. We went to visit all the animals which included little piggies, lambs, cows, and an ostrich. I was disappointed that you couldn't pet any of them. But there were no staff members around to tell us if it was safe or not to touch them through the fence. Amelia's favorite part was the GIANT hay structure. They pile the hay on so tall and kids can climb all over it. It was really great. They also have a moon bounce, climbing and sliding structures, and live entertainment. One of the slides goes right down the side of a tree with a little house on top, really cute. When we were leaving we grabbed a couple of apples from the small store and put a blanket on the grass. I don't think I have EVER seen my kid eat an apple like that. It was delicious. Oh and if you are into photography at all,this place has incredible backdrops for photos. We will go again next year during a busier time
