I have been to many fall orchards and by far this is the best! I have only been to the apple side and go back year after year recruiting more people to come with me! They have a very nice hayride out to the orchard with a great selection of apples to choose from. By far my family loves the SNOW SWEET!! They also sell the best Apple Cider my family has ever had and before tasting theirs we didn't think we liked this drink! We also really enjoy their large shop and grill. We will be back next year, keep up the great work!Stop by next fall and give this place a try!

I went here with my daughters and grandson. The place is amazing for younger children with so many different activities that I wouldn't even come close to mentioning them all. Everything from a tractor tire mountain to climb and slides t ocorn kernal sandboxes and other smaller kid activities. They have several animals in the petting/feeding area and even slides and tunnels through bails of hay. They even have an interactive haunted trail that is kid friendly. There is an admission fee for those activities at the main gate and some attractions (train or tractor rides have small additional fee). There is also a pumpkin patch and a food area (limited and somewhat pricey menu) that the general public can get to along with their apple orchard and Christmas tree area across the road with a huge general store for various specialty items.

We have loved Kuiper's family farm for years. It is a great place for large groups of kids, especially in the fall. On the west side of the street, the Pumpkin Fest area is huge and still relatively affordable. You pay a fee to enter, and on weekdays, everything inside is included in that fee. There is a giant inflated jumping pillow the kids go nuts over, animals to feed, playground equipment and a not-too-haunted haunted forest walk, along with many other low-key but fun for young kids activities. During the weekend the place is a bit of a madhouse and there are extra charges for the jumping pillow and train ride. On the up side, the weekends include baby pig races and the cafe is open.If you go on a weekday, however, you can cross the street to the apple side and visit the store, packed full with all sorts of fantastic food items and decor, including their amazing made-on-site apple cider donuts. Do NOT leave without one! They also have amazing homemade apple pies and a cooler filled with apple related products....applewood smoked bacon, applewood smoked cheddar cheese, apple cider....all worth the price. What we have found getting more and more and expensive and less and less worth it is the apple picking. The last time we went, everyone entering the apple orchard was required to purchase an apple picking bag (which you then fill with apples), including my 3 very small children, making our day of apple picking $45. I feel that is excessive, regardless of how many apples I get, and we haven't done that portion of e farm for years because of it. You can buy freshly picked apples inside the store for much less than $45, so I'd recommend that!Overall, the place is definitely worth a visit.
