All Seasons Orchard

Took the kids here last week and they definitely had a great time! We spent about 4 hours just exploring and enjoying everything. The apple picking was their favorite part 🍎🤍 It was such a fun and wholesome day. Definitely worth the trip!

Awesome experience and . . . THE BEST apple cider donuts (crispy on the outside, soft on the inside) and pumpkin bars!! Lots of fun activities. Plenty to do and kids love it here. We'll kept grounds. Pick your own apples or buy them already bagged. Come back often.

I thought Jonamac was pricey(and I was right), but this place makes them look like a dollar store. The staff is very friendly, helpful and professional, always eager to assist when asked. U PICK was picked pretty clean. It was supplemented with "pre-picked" bins at the beginning of the rows of trees. A good time was had by our family although probably not worth the weekend/holiday pricing. I would recommend the weekdays for cost savings. While not all the attractions would be available, there is still plenty of activities on this expansive facility.

I recently went to this farm for this first time and it was a very disappointing experience. I purchased my tickets online in advance, for apple picking for myself, my husband, and our 3 children. We have young ones who still use a stroller. When we arrived, we had to wait for a while in line just to pick up our apple picking bags. They were sold out of 1/2 peck bags and the 1/4 bags were extremely small (like could hold maybe 4 apples...) and tore very easily. Then we had to get in a VERY long line to wait to take a "hayride" over to the orchard. The orchard was not far and could have been walked to but we weren't allowed. We arrived right at open and still had to wait a lot but the biggest issue was that strollers weren't allowed! Of course I understand no stroller on the hayride (I mean Stade's farm allowed it for strawberry picking this summer) but we had NO idea this would be the experience. If we'd not brought a grandparent along to help with our 3 children, we literally could not have done this and safely held all 3 kids in our arms while riding. Finally, after all of this and the line JUST to pick apples, we arrived. Just to find that every single apple had fallen from the trees. The ground was covered in rotten apples and the very few remaining that were high up and required pickers, were also rotten with black spots. My 3 children didn't to actually pick ANY apples, after we made the 40 minute drive to the farm, waited in TWO lines, contained them on the hayride over, just to walk next to a bunch of trees. The staff was kind when I asked to trade out my empty bags for the apples in the store since our afternoon plan was to make pie BUT the whole point of going was the apple picking experience for my kids. I can pick up a bag of apples at the grocery store for a lot less money and effort. The food was very overpriced and we opted to just leave in the end, as it was just a disappointing time overall. If there aren't apples left to pick, the farm needed to advertise that and say that "u-pick" was closed for the season. I cannot imagine most other farms keeping their tickets open for it. It's awful business practice and I would normally never write a negative review of a small business but this was frankly ridiculous and a rip-off. We went with other friends as well and it was a sorely disappointing day for all.

Such a great orchard for family fun. Everyone was friendly and there were so many fun activities for the kids to play. Only complaint is they advertised a Sesame Street Sunflower walk... there were no characters anywhere but a photo op with the characters... so my Granddaughter was disappointed as we told her and my niece we were going to find the characters. We look forward to returning for pumpkins next month.

This farm has apple picking, corn, pumpkin patch and more. They have rides for the kids and a grill restaurant that serves tasty food. The doughnut is a must try 😋 😍

Family friendly especially if you have kids pleasant and fun. Traveling from Southside Chicago to the orchard and it was definitely a good experience.😋

We always have a great experience at All Seasons! We've tried a few other orchards, but this one is our favorite. They continually upgrade the place and keep it in great condition. We love the barnyard activities, we easily spent 4 to 5 hours in there today. They also have the BEST apple cider donuts. I don't usually get excited about cider donuts, but we definitely brought a pack home with us. They have plenty of food for a meal, a nice country store, and they even have some good and drink vendors in the barnyard play area so you don't have to come all the way back to the front. Friendly staff, too.

WHAT A FUN TIME!!! So exciting to pick apples with my family. We went in early October at around lunch time, it didn't feel crowded. I recommend getting a 1/2 peck bag. Can I say how much I regret not getting more apple cider donuts? My family demolished my half dozen that I got. They taste great when they're warm. This is such a nice family bonding activity and I can't wait to go again next season

We went for apple picking Bought tickets online. But still have yo wait in long queue to get the bags. There is no separate counters for online bought tickets. There was beautiful pumpkin setups. There was a man with wonderful pumpkin carving talent. Was really impressed. We got onto the wagon to go to apple farm. They guided us where to go. We spent about an hour. We enjoyed picking different types of apples. Weather was beautiful. We saw making of fresh apple donuts, bought some and they were so soft fresh and yummy Definitely recommend going here and it is great place to take kids too.

I took my three kids to the orchard on a Friday. I bought our tickets online and received $2 off making them $7 (barnyard only). I had taken my family a couple of years before and we always enjoyed ourselves. However, All Seasons definitely upped their game in the last couple of years. They have added many more activities including an obstacle course and a sunflower maze. You could also tell they improved many aspects including the zip lines. Everything was so nice and new. I only planned on spending maybe an hour and a half there but my kids had so much fun. We ended up staying over four hours! I was such a rookie and didn't bring food so we ended up buying lunch which was decent. (Burgers, fries, chicken tenders,etc.). I was also roped into buying pumpkins on our way out. I left with a car full of happy, exhausted children and ginormous pumpkins. What a great day!

Excellent everything here! Fresh apple cider, warm apple cider donuts and soft caramel apples! Pumpkins galore every size and color! Perfect weather and a great time for everyone!

We paid $18 for the worst honey crisp apples we've ever had! Steer clear of this overpriced and terrible quality product.

Corn maze is not maze. 7.50 Fresh squeeze lemonade is not fresh squeezed lemonade. Wonder how dare to do this.

Picking lots of apples with my uncle, auntie, my cousin and my grandma in the morning at 10am so there's not many people here~ It was good we got there and the weather so nice and hot~ Feeding the goats was fun and many chickens.

Pricing is ridiculous on the weekends. This place also monetizes everything. Went with my family and my sister and her fiancé purchased one big bag due to her having to hold their baby and the fiancé could pick the apples. They were refused to be let onto the carriage for Apple picking and were left behind because the "rule" is one bag per person. This "rule" ruined our family experience and this place does not stand by family values. I do not recommend this place.

I had the pleasure of visiting this apple orchard recently and the experience was great! The apple-picking adventure was fun for all ages, and the variety of apples available mid October was impressive. There was an apple for every palate. The staff provided instructions, making it easy for visitors to understand. There are great photo opportunities aside from the apple orchard and the various activities once you enter the Orchard. Great place for kids to enjoy running around while the parents snag a hot apple cider.

I loved it so much. The place was clean, giving fall vibes. Went with my parents and we each got a bag to take in the experience of Apple picking. The price for the bag is valid because you get a ride on the carriage and you take long peaceful walks. The service was great and we met Hugh McMahon as he takes an ordinary piece of fruit and creates dynamic sculptures that enlightens any environment. The employees they let us know their rules and conditions which was fine by me. The experience was magical.

A belated fall post, as we're just past apple season, but when it comes around again, make sure that you make it to All Season Orchard, in Woodstock, IL, which is just celebrating 30 years! This is a kid-friendly, family friendly, and adult friendly orchard that has something for everyone including the apple orchards, including Asian Pears, but also a barnyard of animals, and a corn maze. I really love the Asian pear selection, which is by far the best value. Per peck! Make sure to grab the cider donuts and apple cider slushies. Well worth the drive especially if you're coming from Chicago .#apples #orchard

Fun experience! Apples were delicious and the pies and apple cider (cherry apple is amazing) and other food products available for purchase are delicious. Corn maze was super fun-challenged even our teens.

This place is very nice, but it is also quite expensive (I realize that most places are these days, though). You can pick your own apples after a nice "hayride" type of drive. They also offer some games and horse rides. I am thankful that they don't put their horses onto that cruel, circle-attached apparatus. It is just too expensive to return, with not a lot of activities for older children.

Lots of activities. You buy tickets online and save a little, it's not cheap, but a better deal than farms where you buy 40 tickets and the kids run out of them in 10 mins. You pay one fee and can go everywhere, just a couple of additional costs like feed for farm apples, pony ride. NO cash, it's card for the additional activities. You take a wagon ride to the orchard and a bag a person, we were near the end of apple season, but still found some great apples. So many activities like little kids, zip lines in corn maze, bouncy.

Sooo overpriced. No option for folks who do not want to buy literally 5 apples for a $12. No one is allowed at the orchard without a pre-purchased bag (per person/every person & child must have a purchased bag). Lines were long for the wagon to the orchard (not fun for the many many children stuck waiting in line). We were told at the wagon that strollers were not allowed at the orchard. What a nightmare for parents of little babies- holding bags of apples, baby bags, and carrying bundled up babies through the orchard. I was dying trying to carry my 11 month old baby (without a carrier), the baby bag and 3 peck bags of apples. There were MANY frustrated parents trekking the orchard. Playground and barn was a blast, phenomenal! However, the $27 per person for combo of apple picking and playground was way too steep a price (for parents to pay $27 to literally stand and watch their kids). Even staff members commented on the terrible prices and very little affordable options for parents. We will not go back to this orchard again. We will stick to Kuipers, Jonamac and Royal Oaks. These orchards can get pricey as well, but these orchards are far more reasonable with options and features.

Came here for the first time today and honestly it was a blast. It is a fun place to visit whether you are a couple or a family while the fall weather is still nice. The apple orchard was fun, we decided to go the scavenger hunt route to find our apples instead of going for the easy ones. It made it into a fun game The apple cider and the apple cider donuts were DELICIOUS. If you are looking for a date idea or family outing I'd definitely recommend coming here for apple picking or pumpkin picking

We used to come here many years ago, but took a break for a while. Now, our kids are teenagers, they wanted to do this again and we had so much fun! We didn't buy the attraction / activity package - but it looked like a lot of fun and I saw many happy little kids! We got the 1/4 peck bag which includes the tractor ride to the apple orchard - it was $12 per person and I think that's fine. Every person does have to have a bag to go apple picking / take the tractor. It was super crowded when we went, but to my surprise the orchard itself didn't feel that way - everybody spread out after a few minutes and we took our time walking around. There is nobody rushing you and the crowds are managed by the tractor rides going to the orchard. Afterwards we got some amazing apple cider donuts - they were still fresh and delicious. They also have sparkling apple cider in cans that's insanely good. Overall, it wasn't a cheap day, but we all had a great time and they have done a wonderful job making the space beautiful with lots of places to sit and eat or relax.

Great place to take your kids and spend the day apple or pumpkin picking. They have an entire section specifically for kids complete with a corn maze, corn kernel pit (similar to a sand box but with corn kernels), playground, petting zoo and more! Great way to spend time with your kids. Best time to go is during the week as there is minimal crowds. Plenty of parking and a fun wagon ride to the fields for the pumpkins and apples!

We come here almost every year with the family and we enjoy it. Yes, there is an entrance cost and yes, it is for a small bag of apples, that fits about 5-6 big apples. But that is the going rate in the Chicago suburbs. We didn't pay for all the extras (petting zoo, jump house, etc.)as they are quite pricey. We did buy a dozen apple donuts as they were warm and SO tasty. Great experience with the family!!

Come here April Fools Day, because the size of the bags they give you for apple picking is a joke

We went the first weekend it opened this season so it wasn't quite as busy. Skipped apple picking instead buying them from their market along with cider, pies, and fun stickers. The pony rides were not ponies but fancy show Fjord horses like on the movie Frozen! favorite activities were feeding the animals, pig races, and the apple canon. Recommend their corn on cob, pulled pork Mac n cheese, and bbq. This is our second time going and we'll definitely be back soon!

When we first arrived here, the first thing someone in the parking lot told us was 'this place is highway robbery'. After being there for a few hours, I would say I completely agree. We only bought the barn activity pass because we didn't want to spend an additional $17 for the apple picking, and after seeing people walking around with 4 apples in their little see through bags, I knew we made the right choice. Barn activities were okay for the kids but there's definitely a lot of extra charges if you want to 'enhance' your experience like buying pellets to feed the farm animals, finding gems in some water and other places. Country Kitchen: Ordered what appeared to be a delicious pulled pork sandwich in all the pictures, but in reality was a lukewarm meal (including fries) that was just okay tasting and definitely not even close to having that much meat. Also, at 4:00 the teen employees should have been paying attention to make sure there's soap in the washrooms and the garbage bins are empty for those of us eating in there. Farm Market: I'm going to disappoint a lot of people but I have had better, tastier and fresher apple cider doughnuts than what I had here. Sorry folks. There were other tasty treats though that were not disappointing like the apple bread and hot chocolate. The caramel apple was probably the best edible purchase as the caramel was the tastiest and freshest I have ever had on an apple. Price wise, you are getting ripped off pretty badly so make sure you know that before you head in there getting ready to buy treats to bring back home. After visiting All Seasons Orchard, I can now confirm that the local farmers markets which I always thought were a ripoff are actually a bargain!

All Seasons Orchard is a rip off. We've been going there for many years. But, over recent years their bags have gotten smaller and the prices have gotten bigger. 1/4 peck for $17, and for some types of apples, you can only fit 4 apples in the bag. This place needs to stop being so stingy. They have plenty of apples to go around.

First time being at an apple orchard but I had an amazing time. I went late in the season and the apples left to pick were on the low side but still had a great time finding some juicy apples. They have cortland, Fiji, gala, honey crisp, golden and red delicious and a few others. The corn maze was fun, several rides for the kids, the apple cider donuts were perfect, fresh cider was delicious and the shop had plenty of cute souvenir options to take home. I will be back next year for sure.

I would have to say this apple orchard is the standard in my book of what an apple orchard should be: hundreds of apples to pick from, apple cider donuts, variety of activities for kids to play on, apple cider donuts, cafeteria to eat non-apple stuff as well as eat all the apple stuff you want and a market that has more options of things you can think of! Oh, and did I mention apple cider donuts? lol If you are here for a family time or even a date for a fall season outing, this is the place. You have a few options to be admitted to which is the premium admission which is the $20/person - Honeycrisp and Fuji orchard (includes the other orchards) or the other orchards which is about $10. I don't know about you but Honeycrisp here is VERY good when it is a good crop. So always choose the Honeycrisp option. When you enter in, you get a face full of apple cider donut smell in the air and makes you want to eat a whole dozen but you are patient and decide to go to the apples first. You take a tractor to go to the orchards and you get a scenic route of the whole farm of what's there to offer. When you get to the orchard, you'll be greeted by an enthusiastic worker about rules. After that, you'll be able to pick to your heart's content. All in all, these are my tips: Go to the apple orchard late September and early October. Get the Honeycrisp option and the kid friendly activities option for families. Get a dozen or two of apple cider donuts on the way out or grab a half to eat then grab a dozen on the way out (made to fresh and you can see them make it through a window in the market).

Extremely disappointed, been coming to all seasons for years. Their pricing has skyrocketed and now the place is a total rip off. The staff members are rude. Safe to say this was our last year going there.

Wonderful family outing! This is the 3rd year we've gone here. Recently they changed owners and it's even better than previously. Clean, organized and safe attractions for all ages. The staff there is wonderful. Pig races are fun. New corn shed is huge and could occupy kids for hours. Two levels of corn mazes. Apple Canon is an adult favorite. Don't leave without checking out huge selection of pumpkins, gourds and squash to bring home. Apple cider donuts are a MUST.

Very serene family or date venue. I was there on a Saturday and it was not too packed. The barn market has so many things to shop for from fresh warm apple cider cinnamon donuts, pumpkin donuts and frosted donuts, cookies, mini pound cakes, bags of variety pop corn, bags of apples, apple cider juice, jars and jars of spreads, to fun happy socks, to Fall Home Decor, to crossbody bogs, shawls and scarves! Outside is a lovely sitting area with a mini made pond. Take pics, get a cup of coffee, donuts and the loaded fries! Relax... Make the trip. It's worth it!

This place is a complete rip off, very little attractions and rude staff especially at the wagon rides to orchard, stay away.

We had a blast at our visit to All Seasons Orchard this past weekend! The orchard is large and all the activities are nicely spread out which makes social distancing easy to practice. From apple picking to the pumpkin patch, so many kid-friendly activities and the market and fresh apple cider donuts, they have it ALL here. We reserved our ticket entry for apple picking online and had a two hour window (12-2pm) for our arrival time. Grabbing our online tickets there were super easy and there were hardly any lines. Then we made our way over the complimentary wagon ride out to the apple orchard. They had a smooth set up that directed people where to go. The wagons weren't crowded at all and everyone had enough space to spread out. I have to also mention how clean the port-o-pottys were. They were spotless and flushed!? I've never been in one that actually flushed. Okay on the the apples. We picked honey crisp apples! There were still so many unpicked and they had these cool sticks to grab the high ones. We each had a small plastic bag that held about 5-7 apples depending on size. We made our way all the way down to the end of the row to be fully by ourselves and had such a fun time. After, we made our way over to the pumpkin patch and snagged a few perfect pie pumpkins. The line to weigh the pumpkins was long (note to self) but it was gorgeous out so we didn't mind. On to the market- they had fun stuff in here. The line was monitored outside and you had to use hand sanitizer before let in. Once in, we went straight to the salsa/jam wall because they looked so good. We got a corn and bean salsa for $7 which we felt was comparable. They had so many jams/dressings here as well as apparel, homemade soy candles, and fall decor. Best part? The fresh apple cider donuts!!! They were hands down the best I've had this season. They were so fluffy and full of the perfect apple cider flavor. Note: you have to go to the register first to purchase fresh donuts/cider and then bring your ticket to the bakery window ($1.30 per donut.) Overall, we made some great memories and recommend for a date or a fun fall day with the fam!

Overpriced and crowded. Not helpful to my disability. Due to back and hip problems I can't bend. Won't allow a picker so I can't pick. Said it was because kids misuse them. I'm not a kid. Don't like this place.

Avoid this place at all costs. It's the biggest ripoff ever. They charge you $17 for a bag that fits 3 apples and force everyone in the party to buy a bag to ride the tractor to the apple orchard that has very subpar apples. Yes, that means if papa and grandma want to watch their grandkids pick two apples, it'll cost them $34. The people working there are also miserable human beings. We will not be returning here and I recommend everyone else avoid it as well.

Two 75 year old grandparents and 3 year old grandson cost $51.00 to watch him pick a few apples. Seems a little expensive.

Arrived on a Mon. It is unfortunate that quite a few of the attractions are closed. Pig races closed. Main kitchen area that I remember closed. On and on, closed. The corn box area is extremely small. Not enough to sink into. Do not get me wrong, it is still great to have the pillow jump & zip line & race cars. It is quite bigger. They have really expanded a great deal from a few years ago. We come here almost every year. 10$ entry for the attractions ea. I think it is very expensive to pick apples here folks. $20 adult - Honeycrisp. $17 child - Honeycrisp. If 4 ppl are going into the orchard - 4 bags MUST BE PURCHASED. You can not choose how many bags you want, and I really do not need 80 apples. So we chose to skip the apple picking. And stuck with the kiddo activities. I must comment on the front window employees. Rather large woman with a black & white sweater jacket. I have always remembered the cashiers as being informative but with unpleasant attitudes. YUP, it hasn't changed.

Absolutely the best fun for families Compared to the other area orchard. The food was outstanding and there are too many fun activities for all ages in the wrist band play area. The cost of the wrist band is nominal for what is offered. Children and adults of all ages will have no trouble spending the entire day playing- yes, the adults can ride the 'bicycle' gocarts and the seated zip lines too;) . there are a couple of extra activities that are a separate cost- such as the Apple/pumpkin cannons that are well worth it! This will be our family's newest tradition!!!

All Seasons Orchard has become a yearly tradition for us! It has enough activities to keep both adults and kids entertained, plus pig races on the weekends. There's also an enormous corn maze that you wouldn't be able to get through without their maps! The only downside is parking (which can be a hassle to find) and the prices of their pies/apples/cider. It's a little ridiculous to spend $20 on a tiny pie. However, we keep coming back because the fall feel here is REAL!

This was quite possibly the most expensive apple picking outing I have ever been on. I go apple picking every year but this was my first visit to All Seasons Orchard. I picked it because they had honey crisp apples for you-pick. Every thing here is pay per person as opposed to pay for what you pick making it a very expensive outing. The cost also changes based on which apples you decide to pick. I know honey crisp apples are more expensive apples but, my husband and I both had to pay for the honey crisp bag since the other type of bag was not allowed in the honey crisp section. We didn't really need a peck of honey crisp, but we also weren't going to split up and pick separately.

Yummm the apple cider donuts are PERFECT!!! I honestly dream about them every now and then! We went here for apple picking. $12 for a little bag that holds about 5-6 honeycrisp apples. The farm provides a wagon ride to the orchard. Along the way, we saw many fun activities for kids like corn maze, little zip lining, wagon rides, and pumpkin patch. Definitely was not expecting it to be as crowded as it was but we did go on a Saturday after all. Love the market place/gift shop! You can buy the apple cider donuts by the dozen or individually.

Went here with our kids when they were younger and the prices were high then.... Now they are out of control. My husband and I stopped in after missing apples at another orchard (sold out) and were shocked at the cost of a bag of damaged apples (I use these to make applesauce)... 40.00 for a bag of bruised and damaged apples. Should be 20.00 tops. Place has commercialized what was once a fun economical educational experience for families with littles a... cmon All Seasons. You can do better than that.... Is it really necessary to charge families as much as you do?

Great apple-picking fun! Went today in the early afternoon and it wasn't crowded at all. Everyone was distancing for the most part and mask wearing was enforced so I felt good as far as health concerns! BEST APPLE CIDER DONUTS ($11.99 for a dozen, $6.99 for half dozen). Crispy on outside, warm and very moist cake inside) Apple picking had lots of apples still, although it was picked over near the front of the orchard. But just walk a little farther down and there's still an abundance! ($9 a bag per person, extra $3 to access all 3 kinds of apples) I haven't been to many apple picking places, but I'm pretty happy about this place!

Note: This review is directed to people who actually want to pick apples when they go apple picking. If you don't care about apple picking and go for the other activities, you can ignore this review. My friend and I went to All Seasons Orchard because we wanted to pick apples and this place was recommended as one of the 3 best places to pick apples in a AAA magazine article. Bottom line: it is NOT a good place to pick apples. If you want to pick apples, it will cost you a $17 entrance fee which includes a 1/4 peck bag for the apples. A 1/4 peck bag is SMALL. You can fit maybe 8-10 regular sized apples in there. When my friend asked if we could buy any other sizes of bags, we were told we could pay another $17 and get another 1/4 peck bag or we could buy bags of apples in the store. We didn't think another $17 was reasonable since we already paid an entrance fee. Let me make clear that if apple picking is not your main purpose, and you actually want to have an apple picking experience without spending much time on picking itself, this is a fine place for you and your kids. There are plenty of activities for kids to do and the price for that seems reasonable. They have everything else you'd want in an apple picking outing -- apple cider and donuts, a gift shop, a restaurant -- just not a satisfactory apple picking experience. My advice: if you want to take the kids for an afternoon of outdoor activities and a bit of apples, go to this place; however, if you want to pick a lot of apples rather than pick a little and buy the rest from the store, skip this place. There are others out there that are better suited for apple pickers.

Great orchard for Apple picking, donuts, and fall activities. We go every year. There's a large play area for kids. It's separate from the Apple orchard and It costs extra from Apple picking, but the variety of rides and open area make it worth letting kids loose!

Fun activities for kids - we spent all morning here. Pretty good cider and donuts. Bonus was the corn maze. We were bummed that the pumpkin patch was closed for the season (came 10 days before Halloween, though) - our main reason for going was the wagon ride to the pick your own, and not even a wagon ride available for non-apple orchard peeps. I guess I should have called ahead to ask about pumpkin picking, but I didn't even think to do so, and nothing was posted on their website as of that morning. We'll try again earlier next year, though.

Buy tickets online...then come to wait in a 30 minute line where everyone is bunched together . Totally irresponsible.

I was very disappointed with my experience. There is an admission fee to get into an area where there is amusement for the kids. Unfortunately, as a parent, I also have to pay to get into this area. Which on the surface is fine; however, any of the rides or attractions that are even worth doing require the purchase of additional tickets. Total rip off. Charge a few bucks more and make it all inclusive.

We went there last week Sunday and were very disappointed. The bags were very small and the apple tree rows that were open had very few apples to pick from. As many people mention the adults have to pay to get into the barnyard or $17 per person. My wife and I had to pay $34 to watch the kids. A total ripoff. You still have to pay for the rides in addition to the admission. The workers at the concessions did not seem like they wanted to be there. It would have been good to check their website in advance. A business can charge whatever and people have a choice to go there or not. My daughter and her friend still had fun though. Their favorite ride was the slide and the lady working there was very friendly and nice.

Yay, fall! My kids and I have been coming here for quite some time. Since the first visit I knew that this would become a family tradition. We absolutely fell in love with this place. Yes there is an admission fee. Yes you should bring a pocket full of cash. But the kids love it. Ok. I'll admit it. I love it too. There's a huge corn maze, a kid's zip line area, pedal cart racing, magic shows, pony rides, a petting zoo (which is a huge draw for us), corn box, bounce house, and the list goes on and on. The pig races that they have throughout the day are always surprisingly exciting! You can spend an entire day here with the kids for fun memories other than just apple-picking. There are hundreds of pumpkins laying around and we always find the perfect one. We apple pick in their orchards every year too, which you get to by a tractor ride. The apples are always crisp, sweet and delicious. Considering how much you can do here, the price seems like a bargain. Bring your camera!

Tons of fruit-laden apple trees, friendly staff, delicious food, clean facilities, and so many fun activities. I just had a really great experience this past weekend at this orchard. You take a wagon ride to the orchard, which has seemingly infinite rows of trees. The gala apple trees have a lot fruit hanging really low, so it's really easy for the kids to pick. We were told that there was some damage to the apples due to hail (which happened at every orchard in Illinois) but there were still a lot of great-looking apples. But there's a LOT more than just apple trees. There's a huge corn maze, a kid's zip line area, pedal cart racing, magic shows, target shooting with "apple" cannons, "mining" for gems, rubber ducky races, pony rides, a petting zoo - the list goes on and on! I think they have about 30 different areas of activities. You can spend an entire day here with the kids for fun memories other than just apple-picking. Considering how much you can do here, the price seems like a bargain. The food here was also exceptional for a "theme park" type of venue. I was really surprised by the quality of the food - I heard they upgraded the menu this year. We had the French fries (a must try - so crispy and tasty!), the pulled pork sandwich, pot roast pile-up, Mediterranean wrap, and Mexican corn. (Note that the Mexican corn isn't on the cob.) Apple cider donuts and the apple cider slushies seem to be "must-haves" here. People were buying donuts by the dozens. You can see them making them in the windows of the the general store. The staff was also very friendly. I would definitely return to this place with more friends and would come more than once a season considering how much there is to do here.

OVERALL: Love apple picking in the fall (crisp cool weather, sweet smells, colorful leaves)! And All Seasons beats out other orchards by packing together apple trees bursting with apples (I didn't know that many apples could even grow on one branch) and a lot of kid-focused activities. APPLES: I was there when gala, cortland and mcintosh were ready for picking (they have rows and rows of other kinds too including honeycrisps). Staff running the wagon ride to the apple trees (really short trip that I liked to kinda set the mood) and staff at the trees were really nice and helpful with questions (some questions I'm sure they've heard so many times). Apples and trees went on and on. Some trees looked like big apple bushes they were so full. Galas were super red. Staff explained that hail storms that hit all Illinois farms this year caused some bruising. Still had plenty of great apples. DONUTS/CIDER: Apple donuts were light, moist, a little crumbly and packed with cinnamon. Exactly what I wanted. Glad I checked out the market in the barn near the exit -- I could smell the donuts and apple cider -- cider was even being made fresh on the presses in the back. Huge fan of the apple slushee (it was still a warm day) because it was so full of apple flavor. Fresh pressing really makes difference! The market also had bags of big apples if you didn't pick your own. FOOD: Had a solid lunch at their Country Kitchen snack bar. Pleasant surprises were pulled pork, fries and wrap. Pulled pork was moist (but not super wet) and had a nice even fragrant and smoky flavor that went well with the super soft Hawaiian bread bun. Sandwich toppings bar was a nice perk and was really clean. I also liked the fries that were crispy on the outside adding a nice bite to each one. Even the Mediterranean wrap was balanced, wrapped well, had a good mix of feta and cous cous with the veggies. It was clearly made with care and thought instead of the slapped together mess a lot of other places serve. KIDS BARNYARD ACTIVITIES: I wish I had this near me when I was a kid! With 30 or so things to do, I think I got a lot of value on this. Favs were the corn maze (I actually got lost in this huge maze!) and the magic show (magician had a good energy and sense of humor that engaged the kids).
