Looking for a Pumpkin Farm/Apple Orchard
Can anyone recommend a fun pumpkin farm/apple orchard for a 6, 3 1/2, and 21 month old? We are looking for an one-stop-shopping locale. Thanks!

WE went to Didier's Farm on Columbus Day. It wasn't crowded and the weather was nice. The kids had a great time wandering around the play area. The peting pen was the cleanest I have seen! I would recommend it for the rest of the pumpkin season. Plus they have great cider and doughnuts!

Don't know if you need more suggestions but, Apple Barn and Winery in Elkhorn, WI is great. We were just there last week. One stop shop. Right next to Lake Geneva. Highly Recommend!

There is a great orchard in Twin Lakes, WI called Oriole Springs. I was there with my family last weekend. The pumpkins are not ready to be picked until Oct 4 and by then all of the apples are ready.

Love Royal Oaks! It is Christian based and they have fabulous donuts and cider and things. They have music on the weekends and a play area, petting zoo. Keep in mind that being Christian, they are closed on Sundays. Have fun!

Apple Holler is a nice place and certainly easy to find, but Royal Oak is BY FAR a better choice, in my opinion. We are probably going this Saturday. Maybe we will see you there!

I also recommend Didier Farms in Buffalo Grove. They do not have an apple orchard, but they are a great pumkin farm with lots of fun things to do for the kids. We go every year in October and always have a great time.

Royal Oak Orchard in Harvard. It's a drive, but SO worth it. Huge orchard, hayrides, great market shop, train ride, carousel, petting zoo, playground, pumpkins....

There is a great pumpkin farm in Buffalo Grove - Didier Farms.
You can talk a tractor ride out into the fields to pick out your pumpkin. They have several little carnival rides, pony rides, petting zoo and misc children activities. They have a small concession stand including their fantastic pumpkin donuts.
They also have various entertainment on the weekends.
