HYSTERIA at Connors Farm

This was our 3rd time at the Haunted Corn Maze! I think went went in 2019, 2022, and now a Friday in the middle of the season 2024. We have loved it everytime. We got VIP tickets the last 2 times and showed up a little before start time and did not have to wait long at all. One of my favorite spooky events and am excited to go again next year! (:

20/10. One of the best haunted mazes/house experience I've been too. Great length, scares and unique walkthrough for the price. The ice cream apple crisp was also great. They tried to manage the groups but it's still hard to get the space sometimes. Still a great job and not too long of a wait

I think Connor’s Farm does Hysteria very well! I love going to haunts so much I’ve done universal 3 years in a row now but being home this is one of my fav haunts! I do think they should switch the scares a little but year to year but other than that it’s a 10/10 for me..

I’m from Florida and my husband came to MA for Salem. We love everything Halloween and we found this place on the haunted happenings app. Let me just say that this is the best Halloween event we’ve ever been to. This is coming from someone who goes to Halloween horror nights yearly and local haunts all the time. I have never been this entertained and yet scared lol idk why I’m reading negative reviews on this place. Just get here before 6 and you should be good. My hubby and I were the second group to go in there was a mix of animatronics and scare actors. You’re not allowed to use your phone which means no flash lights either. I would honestly fly from Florida to experience this again. 10 out of 10!!!

3rd year going— they do a very great job and I always have fun! But my two stars is for the frustrating experience we had this year… We got stuck behind a large group with a child in a stroller. I really wish the staff had told them it is NOT stroller accessible, because it ruined the experience for many attendees. They try to space groups out by ~30 sec, but we caught up to the stroller group immediately because they had to maneuver the stroller over roots and bumps. Then we got to the indoor portion, which is about 50% of the attraction. Every minute or so, we had to stop because the stroller got stuck because the passage was too narrow. They’d lift the stroller and carry it over their heads. Many times they had to stop completely and break down the stroller to get it through, which meant we had to stop and wait for a bit… the backup of the line got very bad. The rest of their group got frustrated and abandoned the guy pushing the stroller, so he started having to ask attendees and actors for help (they very kindly did). But at one point he got completely stuck, and the line got held up for over 5 min. This made the backup so much worse. Eventually the actors had to open an exit and usher the people behind the stuck stroller out, so we could get around it, and then could re-enter at the next entrance… so we missed a chunk of it. I really really wish the staff had said something to them about it not being stroller accessible (the website does say it’s not wheelchair accessible) so it didn’t ruin the experience for the rest of us. But assuming you get lucky and are not behind people with a stroller, you’ll have a good time… sound, lighting, decor are fantastic and spooky and the actors do a great job!

Absolutely awesome attraction. We are from out of state and this was a last minute add on to our trip and it was totally worth it! The animatronics were great, most actors were really good, and I loved the change up of venues from the corn maze, to the woods and the different houses, we were very surprised at how creative and scary it was. (I saw other reviews stating the busy-ness ruined their experience, and I can see how time slots for the tickets would be helpful) but In our experience we went on opening night, waiting like 5 minutes and went in. Very awesome, please keep it up, very worth it!!

My wife and I go to haunted attractions across the country and Hysteria at Connors Farm just made the list of one of our favorites. The entire experience is everything we love about the Fall/Halloween season. The shop is filled with everything that you'd hope a great apple orchid has. The snacks, the food, we loved it all. The haunted corn maze is so well put together! The animatronics are super impressive and the actor jump scares are very well done! The attention to detail is fantastic! It was a major highlight on our October trip to Salem! Highly recommended!

I wasn't able to get many photos during the experience because you really don't want to stop and take a photo of something in there, cause while it looks awesome, you are constantly thinking about what the next thing will be that comes at you. It took us 40 minutes to walk through the trail and we are generally fast walkers so I would say that 45 minute experience that it America sounds about right. I've been to a few haunted houses before and this experience was rather unique. It does have a portion where you are walking indoors through some corridor , but it feels more like an abandoned warehouse. There is even a party of the trail that has these large shipping containers. Obviously most of it is just jump scares, but a lot of them are done quite well, not the way you expect a lot of them and as I said, I wasn't stopping for a photo because I didn't know what the next scare would be so it constantly kept me wondering. I wasnt terrified because in my mind I knew it's not the real thing but if you were living through this, it would be as they advertise what nightmares are made of. I have a bit of a balance issue so walking in the dark wasn't easy and I had to keep my hand on my "service human" which made me worry that would make me more of a target for them as the person who is scared more, but it turns it they focus more on those who look like they aren't scared.. and they did end up scaring my friend with a few times (and me of course). Overall it's was a good time and I would go again, but I got the VIP tickets and I suggest you do the same cause with the VIP tickets on a Friday, we waited 30 minutes and the general admission line looked like it was 2 hours long or more, which i wouldn't do. So do yourself a favor and pay the extra money.. time is money.

We love conners farm! Best bang for your buck in mass Yes it's crowded on weekend but weekdays it's mint! Tons of stuff to do animals tons of activities! Super chill atmosphere can easily spend 3-4 hours here. Hay rides train rides corn Maze def worth the money for for our family Food is pricey like any of these places but conners farm is def our go to every year

Well I've never been to an apple farm as big and busy with many things to do as this. I can describe it as a mini carnival. The price fits this description. Plan on spending a lot of money here. But then there are many activities to do here. Mainly it's geared for kids with lots of games and activities but adults can have fun too. What I really enjoyed was the train and hay rides. Lovely view of the farm and things on display like a man made pond, animals, trucks, tractors to name a few. You also see the huge corn maze they have that you can do. Personally, would have liked to try it but was weary of getting lost. The farm closes at six and I got there after three, time spent in traffic getting to the lot and looking for parking. There's lots of food to choose from. There is a shop with plenty of food, produce, deserts to buy. FYI: the apple crisp with ice cream was very good! Then there's hot or cold apple cider, and the apple cider donuts. The apple orchard is about 25.00, which is a separate price from the farm price. I didn't pick apples. I've done it many times before and wanted to walk around the farm and experience it. Also, weekends and holidays are very crowded. I wish I knew this. Parking is difficult, if you are patient you can find. I wouldn't say I want to come back soon. Once at this big farm is enough, being so crowded and lots to do makes it feel overwhelming. But it is something you have to try one time. I will go back to the smaller farms to pick apples. Another smaller one in Peabody is just as nice with less stuff to see and do but it makes it more cozy and relaxing. The staff is friendly and helpful. Again, I'm glad I came this October. It was an adventure to last me a lifetime.

So I only went there for Hysteria. I love haunted attractions, mind you, but this one needs some improvement. For starters I got there around 6'ish thinking that they'll start letting people in by 7. I had another ticket for Salem's Blackcraft Haunt or whatever it's called around 8:30'ish. They started letting the general admission ticket holders in around 7:45-7:50'ish. I had a feeling that they were going to go over and I was right. The haunt itself was mediocre. They need to police the patrons because a group ahead of me kept on delaying the walkthrough. This one dude kept on taking pictures and video when we were told before NOT to take pictures and video. They held up the line so badly that I was getting a headache getting screamed at by this clown animatronic in my friggin' ear! ON that note, the place would be more fun if it wasn't for the non-operational animatronics. If it wasn't for that group ahead of me, I would've enjoyed nearly half the site's jump scares. Please hire more live scare actors! Don't give in to the coming AI robots! Otherwise this will be the last time I'll visit this place for the haunted house portion of Connors Farm!

One of the best places to take your kids around the Fall time (which is when I took my sons and niece). Endless things to enjoy and the price is reasonable.

We went there this weekend to have some outdoor fun with my nieces who are 2.5 years old. The place is huge with so many activities for kids and animals to pet slides, bought star, tractors, a small train ride, trikes, a small rope course, ball tossing. We were there for a few hours and they also have a nice grocery store at the entrance where you can get something to drink, coffee or some fresh fruit. It wasn't busy this weekend and from what they told us the summertime doesn't get packed but in the fall it gets very busy and they told us that just to exit the parking lot in October can take you 20 minutes.l do I probably not visiting that farm in October. The only thing that bothers me is that they say no backpacks at the entrance so they would probably stop you from bringing your own food and their food is terrible. We had one of the brick oven pizzas and it tasted horrible. It tasted like a warmed up lunchable pizza. Exactly like that!!! Which I didn't think was possible from a pizza that came out of a brick oven.

Adorable little farm with lots of animals and a yummy shop with treats. You can feed the animals too. Little playground for the kids. Worth the visit!

Pricey for what it is, but such a cool little spot. There is so much to do for kids! It's super cool. There is wooden fair games, train rides, hay rides, a cool tree house like area with wooden houses and slides, swings throughout the park, a bubble station , and an obstacle course. It's such a cool spot. We ate there as well, and the food was decent! We did not have any trouble with employees being rude. The little fruit stand is super cool, fresh produce, and lunch, with a variety of treats. I really enjoyed this spot!

Very much a rip off when my family came. It costs $50 for a 4 person bag and only a few aisles of trees were available to pick through leaving us with slim pickings. Definitely need to come either earlier in the season or on a busy day otherwise it'll be a huge disappointment. BUT, I have to admit their baked goods such as the muffins were pretty good. Corn on the cob cost $1 per which I was very surprised about. Not sure if this is worth me coming back for.

This is the second time we've been to Connor's for fall activities: apple picking and the pumpkin patch. I love that they are so close to us, 30-35 min drive and no tolls! Also price point on a weekday is great! During COVID times, I definitely recommend going during the week if you can, we went on. Tuesday, around 1 pm and that was perfect. Very few people so social distancing was easy to do, everyone except children under 3, must wear masks. Less people also means no lines and really being able to enjoy the games and animals. It was late in the season, so I wasn't super bummed about the lack of apple picking, the orchard was open but due to high winds, all of the apples were on the ground. Pumpkin patch was still in pretty good shape. The corn maze was looking a little sad, but again, it late in the season. I have to say that usually I don't like apple cider donuts, but while in the store the donuts were just coming out of the fryer, so I couldn't resist. I actually liked their donuts! They were light and fluffy and didn't have the usual old Bonnie bell lip smacker flavor I associate with apple cider donuts. Overall a great activity to do with kids during the week to break up the monotony of the times we live in. There are animals, rides, games and multiple playgrounds/play areas. 3 stars because concessions were closed and a handful of games were in disrepair.

NEVER AGAIN. I've been coming here with my entire family for YEARS until now. I was just there yesterday and my family and I all bought tickets and apple bags. My cousin, her boyfriend and baby came late but they still wanted to take photos apple picking with the baby since it was his first time. There was an incredibly aggressive man running the check in for the apple picking section. He immediately got rude and short with us and even asked, "Where do you think you all are going with just one bag?". Mind you this was the last hour it was even open and the farm was much less crowded. I explained the situation and that I had a bag but it was in the car and I was just joining them to take photos. This man made a huge scene and while he was arguing with us he was holding up all the people who were trying to leave AND the people trying to get in behind us. It was completely embarrassing and bizarre that a "family friendly" business can have such hostile and overly aggressive staff. He was trying to act as though his hands were tied and there was nothing he could do but I even explained that with no bag I couldn't pick or take apples with me so what's the issue? Keep in mind when purchasing the apple bags they said NOTHING of this rule nor do they have it posted. My family had brought plenty of money annually here and I'll be sure we pick another farm. No one should be treated like this and to be honest I've never seen that in my years of going here either. Maybe we got special treatment being people of color but I don't care what the reason. I know there's been racial issues at this farm in the past and after the employees I dealt with I can certainly understand that and see that's the least of their concerns. It was barbaric, rude and unprofessional. I spent the last hour having to walk around the farm all by myself because of this situation. That was even less embarrassing than the bag check man publicly scolding us in front of other groups of family. Good luck to them but I wouldn't recommend whatsoever. Honey Pot Farms has nicer staff! P.S. They charge $7 for water with a tablespoon of lemon juice and no sugar. Food certainly didn't make up for this experience.

Loved this farm. Only thing that sucks is it is $20 to get in and that pretty much every other activity cost additional money. We did the apple cannon shooting which was so much fun and the bucket of apples was an additional $5. There were also so many animals to love on! We also got tickets for their hysteria haunted corn maze but we're unable to stay until 7pm when it started. The tickets bought can be used at another time which is amazing. Planning on using these tickets this weekend as the hysteria haunted portion is only open on the weekends!

We brought our son who's a little over 2 and he had a BLAST! We went on a Tuesday so it wasn't overcrowded there is SO much to do for a kid his age! I think it's perfect for kids under 8. There's a train, huge obstacle course, two giant playgrounds with slides and swings, carnival games, animals to feed, corn maze, lots of trucks to play with, a "corn beach" and more! If you have young kids they'll have a blast here!

We had a great time here. The corn is the best we've ever had and there is plenty for the kids to do. A lot of great photo opportunities as well.

There was no population control, overcrowded. Cashiers at vendors not efficient. Only 1 cashier instead of utilizing both registers. Please do better. If it's like this next year I'll go somewhere else.

Bottom line: - Bring hand sanitizer - Pick apples somewhere else - Skip if you don't have kids Bathroom sinks ran out of water during the day. No hand sanitizer at most food stands and attractions, aside from the animal feeding area. Families with young kids can easily spend a whole day here, but be prepared to wait in long lines for food and train rides on the weekend. Not many attractions appealed to our group of twenty-somethings, but the apple cannon (an extra $5-8) and the cider and donuts were well-received by some of us. Unfortunately, the orchard itself is small and minimally maintained, with thousands of fallen and spoiled apples on the ground and no labeling of any apple varieties. Next time, I'll be going to Honey Pot or Shelburne Farms for much better picking.

We were treated like we were stealing produce by one particular person (maybe the owner?) Awful experience. We will never come back to this place again. Highly do not recommend.

Connor's Farm is located in Danvers, Ma. It is north of Boston and you can get there off of Route 1. There is a huge parking lot across from the farm with no parking fee. If this is your first time, I definitely recommend going early in the morning as there will be less of a line for parking as well as once you have reached the entrance. It will be easier to navigate when there is less people trying to get in. Not the best place to navigate with elderly, toddlers, or a large stroller either when it is packed. Once in, you would be fine. Heed my advice, go early. Keep this in mind for your first visit. It isn't apparent where to line up. Even on my second visit, I am still a little lost. If you're like me, you will enter through what appears to be the main entrance. You will be entering the market place. This is not where you buy tickets though there are registers everywhere. There is a section to the right to purchase donuts, ice cream, and such. To your left are the produce and farm goods and registers for that. Keep to the left and walk through the barn door to this semi-enclosed area. This is where you can purchase the tickets and get the wristbands to enter the attraction area. Note: The pumpkin patch is admission free. To gain access to the attractions, ages 3-64 cost $14.95 per ticket, two and under is free. In my opinion, it was totally worth the price if you have little ones and spend the day to really explore all of the offering. The price include a train ride that lasted about 10 minutes? The line wasn't too long and I think we waited about 10-15 minutes. There is a tree house area play area with long slides, which to me, was a mother's worst nightmare, but apparently play heaven for the little ones. The trouble with this is that it is hard for a adult to keep an eye on the little ones. Not recommended for children under four. There is also bull riding, appear safe, even for girls. There is a bouncy area, no shoes allowed. This is considerably one of the safer areas in my opinion. Safest would probably be feeding the barn animals. Smells like your typical barn. Small size but with a very happy/friendly looking donkey like the talking donkey in Shrek. There are teddy bear sheeps also. Animals looked pretty happy and cared for. The is one lone sad looking albino bunny. There is also a huge corn maze which I did not want to get lost in as it can be a death trap like IKEA. Shooting apples was not included, and cost an addition $5.00 a bucket. The line can be a little long but my son loved it. There are plenty of picture ops throughout the farm. There is the giant rocking chair, a giant swing, and giant scarecrows inside of the farm. There is also a gift shop hidden in a red trolley. There is a picturesque pond right in the middle of the farm where you can take pictures while you await for your train ride. The train ride takes you around the farm and around the corn field. You can also take pictures while picking your pumpkin. The pumpkin patch is littered with bright orange pumpkins all sizes with a cornfield backdrop and giant scarecrow. The farm has fruits for picking too but apples were all gone when we visited Columbus Day weekend. I do want to say, this place is really for the many activities and not so much for fruit picking. I highly recommend this place if you have children five and older. Food is actually pretty good also. For about $45 I got two hotdogs, sweet potatoes fries, regular fries, three pieces fried chicken, half a rack of dry rubbed ribs, and a corn. They ran out for fried turkey leg so didn't get to try those. I would get sweet potato fries over the plain fries. There you have it, see my pictures.

We have a wonderful family day today, so many new play zones that my kids had a blast!! Staffs are all super friendly and nice, food are surprisingly good, we ordered southern fried chickens, so good ! Pit roasted turkey leg is super delicious! Many drink stands and bathrooms. They really added a lot more stuff to make it much more family friendly and worth the money to go comparing previous years! Absolutely will go again and again

Great actors, great props, efficient and fun!! One of the best scary mazes I've ever been too. They did not comprise quality as many other places did due to Covid and other restraints..

Connor's farm is never a disappointment for the kids, but a major wallet pit for parents. Additionally, things like the go carts are frustrating because the line grows quickly and at times you wait for 30+ minutes (I don't) but we definitely passed the same family about 4 times waiting for their child's turn in the go carts. It's incredibly expensive and some activities cost even more money despite the amount paid for a bracelet. Apples are as expected at any apple orchard. We saw a couple stopped outside the gate and accused of stealing, not the most comfortable moment but, eh... what can ya do.

The Hysteria haunted corn maze is AMAZING. My husband and I are Halloween people, we have done dozens and dozens of haunted houses/corn mazes/ hayrides. We were both frankly floored by the haunted maze at Connors Farm. Firstly, it's LONG. It takes about 35 minutes to walk including moments where you're terrified and walking briskly. The change in scenery is impressive, you go from corn maze, to underground cave, to haunted school bus, to satanic temple and beyond. The actors and animatronics are amazing, dressed impeccably and terrifyingly. The attention to detail for each different scene and setting is admirable. I highly suggest VIP tickets to skip the long October lines, well worth it to get your scare on faster! Also, the people working Hysteria pace groups very well, on a busy night it didnt feel crowded in the maze, which was shocking. There was space to feel alone and terrified. Warning, some of the settings are very tight, if you're claustrophobic make sure you have someone with you who can confidently guide you through one or two tight spots. You should still be able to enjoy the attraction, but something you might want to be prepared for going into it. We loved it and want to go back! Edit: we were lucky enough to go on the hunters moon, the eerie glow of the moon just amplified the experience and made the maze even more haunting. If you can plan to be there on a full or hunters moon it is WORTH IT!

This is in the NEVER AGAIN category. This place is awful, but at least it's really expensive. It was way overcrowded. They clearly never turn away a chance to make more profit. The food was terrible and the "fresh-squeezed lemonade" had never seen a lemon. Disgusting. The staff were completely incompetent. Two teenagers running a food booth moved like sloths and had no idea what they were doing while the lines got longer and longer. You could spend the whole day waiting in line to get awful, expensive food and drinks. Then came apple picking. There are no signs to tell you what kinds of apples they are, no staff to direct you to various varieties, the trees are way over-picked and you can't reach the ones in the tops of the trees. Everything about this place was disappointing. Strongly do not recommend.

If you want to get ripped off, this is the place for you and your family. Two seniors, one adult and three children's tickets were $136.00. Add to that was a charge of $25.00 for apple picking. At the entrance of the apple orchard was a very aggressive man who stated we had only purchased a two adult apple bag; therefore, only two adults and the children were allowed in the orchard. So this 77 year old grandmother wasn't allowed in the orchard. This began the day with a very negative feeling. I will never return to Connor's Farm and certainly will not recommend it to anyone else.

Fun but SOOOOO crowded. We literally could not find a parking space anywhere in the lot or along the road. We circled for 35 minutes and my husband give up and dropped us and left and went to the Northshore Mall for two hours. Two hours was only enough time to ride the train, complete the corn maze and get lunch. This was not worth $150!!!!!

This farm was incredible! Definitely a great place for kids! It was so clean, the staff was very friendly, and the attractions were great! I was in awe at how awesome everything was kept up and the quality of the treehouse area. The train ride was really great, bringing you around almost the whole farm. My daughter loved the designated bounce area, the cow train and the fun tractor shaped tire swings! Would HIGHLY recommend this farm and will be going back again this summer!

My mom, nephew and myself went to the Haunted fields attraction. It was absolutely horrifying! The wait for the 45 min nightmarish trek was two hours. We paid an extra 20 dollars on top of the 35 dollar ticket price and it was well worth it! The effort and creative zeal Connors farm puts into scaring the living piss out of you for 45 min straight is above any other haunted halloween attraction we've been to. My nephew is 8. He wanted to go but then was resistant to go in. Despite how busy the farm was, a park security guard whose daughter is an actress in the attraction was kind enough to give my nephew a pep talk and escort us through the attraction until he felt brave enough to fare with just grandma and auntie. This will be a yearly family fave to look forward to! Happy Halloweeeen!!

This place was Unwelcoming! I'm not sure if the lady that approached me was racist or thought my family didnt belong but she was not welcoming at all. As soon as I got to the entrance, a lady approached me and asked me What can she help me with. I asked her about the corn and blue berry picking. As my family was browsing the marketplace, she approached me again and asked if i was planning to puck berries. Than, I told her yes and told her how many people we had and told her I had a blind child with me and only two kids was picking berries. She demanded i got 5 pints and she said she couldn't let us in for less than this amount. I wasn't even in line buying bands yet but my family was bring questioned. the staff even double checked to see if the child with me was blind. I just moved to a close town next to Connors farm and I was so excited to show my family some fun family activities. I wouldn't care if i was told each person that is going to pick berries need a basket. I'm upset that I was forced to either get 5 pints of berries or not get inside. The cashier was very nice and I wished she was my only encounter today. I am so disappointed that my mom had to say "let's go, we're not welcomed here."

All the animals were sick and there was dead chickens and ducks in the pond. Also half of the animals were out of their pens and just roaming around.

DISGUSTED BY WORKERS I went Monday, October 18th with my co-workers and was surprised when a older male worker at the entrance to get into the attractions there decided to make remarks such as "those only look sexy on girls" referring to my pants which were literally just ripped jeans. He also proceeded to say "ew" as i was leaving. I was astonished that a older man decided to make homophobic remarks to a 18 year old ESPECIALLY after what Conner's farm just went through, some of the staff clearly haven't learned anything. Also they never took us on a hayride because they just didn't want to even thought it was scheduled to happen.

What a scary & fun time at Haunted Hysteria with my family!! Ooooo those chainsaws......YIKES

It's over priced it's 23 dollars for one ticket it's 13.50 plus tax for one bag of apples it has false advertising it shows multiple rides in the pictures but there's only one ride it's 25 dollars for the corn maze at night and it's almost and it's so much money for just a little bit of stuff and the fried dough is 15 dollars for 1 piece of fried dough

Was here today and it was not as fun as it is hyped to be. The greatest thing was the corn maze and the animals. Goats, chickens and sheep you can feed. My son loved them eating out of his hand. After paying just under 30 dollars for myself and my 3 year old to enter I was excited because I assumed so much was included in that price and...no. First, it was so unorganized from the entrance alone. Huge entrance sign over a doorway...but too easy, of course that's not the entrance. Walk to your right and into the store? Ok. Crowded with a line into the farm and a bunch of shoppers in the aisles buying produce. The bees. Bees everywhere. You can't stand still at any point in this place without a bee flying on your arm or in your face. The lines for food were so long and the line to ride the train was ridiculous. No way a toddler could sit through that without a meltdown. I was here about 3.5 hours with family, we chose to do pumpkin picking last before leaving. We pick pumpkins, pay and my son runs ahead of me back towards the ice cream area. I go after him and I'm abruptly stopped by a man who demands to see my wristband. Excuse me? Depending on how you look, be prepared to be asked multiple times like my mother was. Everyone was wearing long sleeved flannels, why no one else walking past was questioned? ‍ never again.

I purchased a 1/2 CSA share during the 2021 season. I was very impressed at how well run the program was. Always plenty of fruits and vegetables to pick from. Always a variety that changed week to week as they were being harvested. Little surprises, like tickets to the playground, free lemonade, donuts and cut your own flower bouquet, to name a few. I planned all my meals around my bounty and only had to purchase my proteins for the week, a great budget beater. Most importantly all the employees I encountered, whether picking up my CSA, shopping or taking my Grandchildren to the playground, were happy, helpful and welcoming.

Great venue for kids. $15 is worth the money considering all the small attractions including a mechanical bull and train ride. The apple cannon is extra, but worth the money. Paint ball wasn't operational. We went at 10 am and crowds weren't bad. It was definitely more crowded toward noon. BBQ looked good but we weren't hungry. DEFINITELY get apple cider donuts! We got those to go. Now the reason for 3 stars: apple picking. It costs a fortune. It's over $10 a person and that gets you a small bag of apples. We had 7 people and were charged around $80 to be day laborers. I think we picked $15 worth apples at the most. I don't think they're organic. They're covered in a white dust that I'm pretty sure is pesticide. Furthermore, bushes weren't labeled with species. Worker I asked didn't know species either. D'oh! I won't be paying for Apple picking again! Rest of farm is OK. Also, we didn't get stung, but there are bees everywhere. Beware!

We had such a great time while at Connors Farm - we only wished we arrived during the day to enjoy all the fun activities! The staff were very friendly & helpful. Also, the apple cider donuts, apple cider, candy apples & cookies were so good! We arrived after dinner for the haunted hysteria trail & it was awesome! The actors were engaging/scary & props were well done. Would definitely recommend!

Been here twice only for the activities, and did not attempt to pick fruits due to reviews. It is a really a fun place for little kids. You can easily spend 4-5 hours there. It felt more chill, cost effective and pleasant during a weekday in the summer. Though you really need a large amount of water to keep hydrated in the sun. No lines, but train/cow trains run only at scheduled times. Only a few game and food stands were open, but still an excellent time to go as a first timer. Four stars. During a long weekend, etc. there are more things open like concession stands and other activities. Worth considering is how much tolerance you have for crowds especially on Columbus Day. It felt pretty chaotic and food lines were very long. I don't think we'll ever go back on a holiday. For instance, some people spent 45mins waiting for just popcorn, in a line that served other things, but really every food line was equivalent. Although not us, a family of four with grown kids easily spent over $60 on food. It's an expectation that comes with the experience, but could be made way more efficient. Let the popcorn people get their own line or directed elsewhere. People will be hungry to buy more food if things moved along. Lines shouldn't force people to get their value worth from a long wait. They remained pretty long at every stand/ ride and didn't die down that much even past 3. Tips: scope out what the various food stand serve as you enter. Donuts have own line by entrance but is also sold in the store. Their "souvenir" lemonade cup is $2 extra if you expect refills are warranted. For whatever reason it tasted better at the central lemonade stand as they let you refill without going back in line. The food at the bbq place by entrance or by games on other side of pond seemed more substantial when paired with a fry side. We got stuck in a dreadful popcorn line, and our only option was to get the hot dog and corn. It left us wanting, but obviously we wished to avoid another scary line. Absolutely not a multiple food allergy kid friendly place, and signs posted such, so best to plan your visit between meals. Otherwise, if you're honest to their policy and want to avoid anaphylaxis, you'd have to go back to your car for food/snacks, or have absolutely no safe way to feed your kids. Being aware of recent negative publicity, the staff was surprisingly nice and helpful. We had bounce passes and an attendant in the parking lot volunteered to help us exchange it for wristbands so we didn't have to go inside the store. Though if you planned to go on a ride, be mindful. Connor's should review their safety practices. Should be obvious but, if you ride the train, have your little kids sit away from the opening. Also, the tractor driver should confirm and wait until everyone is boarded before moving... it was an accident avoided because people shouted, otherwise one parent would have been knocked over. Interpret review based on your own values. Kids did have a blast, so being generous with the fun and low expectations on other areas, a mixed three stars due to time, price, safety and other food inconveniences.

Of all the apple farms we've been to , this one was by far the worst ! $20 each to get in , $25 for the smallest bag for apples !! So $145 for 6 of us to get in , then ordered a slice of pizza which was already made but still had to wait more then 30 mins , then 45 mins for corn ! Then at end when we picked apples , there were no signs of which apples were there , just pot luck !!! I wld give this place a big fat zero on a 1-10

Fantastic place. 10/10 food and am never disappointed when I go here. Every fall we go and do the corn maze, and it is the best part of the fall season. I will always return here every year for the fresh apples, and blueberry pies. Apple cider doughnuts are my favorite!!

Best corn on the cob! Thank you Connors Farm for the awesome corn and the crisp Macintosh apples!

The Hysteria Haunted Farm groupon brought my friends and I here! We figured we could check out the farm during the day time as well! I had a horrible flash back on our way here when we were on Valley Rd. again the one lane road to the Topsfield fair (now that place I have no nice words to spare, see that review if you're curious). Thankfully it only took about 15 minutes to make our way to the large parking area. It can get muddy when it's raining. We waited for another 5 minutes in the line to buy our tickets and they had a line for cash, which was faster than looping all the way around the store registers if you pay with card. True Rating = 3.5 from the excessive lines and waiting, they could really be better managed. CONNORS FARM The $14 entrance fee per person is somewhat steep especially as an adult. Many of the activities are geared towards kids such as the pillow bounce, peddle karts etc... We watched the pig races, rode the grain train, rode mechanical bull, rats racing barrels, pumpkin bingo and of course the premiere Corn Maze. It's very cool that they change the theme of the corn maze each year. This year it was Charlie Brown & The Great Pumpkin. I definitely recommend following the question sheet guides or using the text options (however signal is limited). We might have passed a few of the actual phases but we made it through all the way within 40 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised by the Smokehouse food even though by the time we visited around 5pm they were running out of food. My SO ordered the half rack of ribs for $18 and it seems like they might have given him a full rack (or a very generous size) with potato salad and corn on the cob. We shared his plate. HYSTERIA HAUNTED FARM I was surprised to learn that the Hysteria is run by a different company than Connor's. They allowed us to redeem our tickets from Groupon around 6PM but they didn't officially open their doors until around 7:15PM. We should have started lining up right away, but by the time we tried to find the location there was already a huge line forming. We got the tickets & VIP bracelets from Groupon, but to be honest they did not really have a distinction between the lines for us to take advantage. We accidentally asserted ourselves to the front near the corn fields and they just let our group through! Aside from the attraction starting late around 7:30, my friends and I were very impressed with the set up of the Haunted Farm. I won't give too much away but they had tons of spooky props, misty of fog, 70+ actors and a very extensive trail to get through the farm! They even were able to repurpose a school bus. This was infinitely better than the spook walks that we went to at Six Flags. The actors were much more interactive than I expected and they did a great job of scaring everyone in the group not just those in the front or the back. They even followed you around for several paces beyond their mark. We finished the haunted farm trail in about 45 minutes and I would definitely recommend it. Not sure if I would have wanted to wait in the rain though since once we finished we felt the drops of precipitation increasing.

I went here yesterday Spent $78 on produce Brought it home and started to make a fruit platter to take to my parents The entire whole watermelon was rotted throughout, nothing to salvage. 4 peaches also rotten when I cut into them Strawberries way to soft , not quite rotten but questionable Horrible horrible experience Never ever will return $78 tossed into the rubbish Spoke to a local green grocer who said he would never buy anything there I agree And they don't grow most of their produce

Came here on a Saturday on October 6th, 2018 for some apple cider donuts, hot apple cider, and to go through the farm in the back. The apple cider donuts were delicious, as was the apple cider ($2.50). Be wary that the apple cider attracts bees (and there were lots of bees around). Going through the farm in the back was fun as it included a corn maze, a pumpkin patch, animals to look at and pet, and more food/snacks. I did think entry was pretty pricey though ($15 per adult). The farm was super popular with families with young children. I think the Connor's Farm in general is a great place to visit during the Fall. I personally don't think I'd come back, as it's rather far from me, but its a perfection family oriented place to visit.

Second time here this summer.... I feel like everyone who works here is miserable and shows it. The food stand.... After waiting to order for a half hour they were out of everything. I had to pay for hot dogs served on hamburger buns- would've been nice to know that before we paid for them. (Why not out a quick sign up?) No one was polite or kind. When leaving we thought we'd go in and get ice cream- yet no one was at the ice cream counter and all the ice creams were shut. Not an employee around to ask for help except for cashiers. It was our second time there with our son I'm hesitant about coming back. You expect friendlier staff for the cost to get in. Disappointed.

Don't do business with these people. Unfriendly, overpriced, and unwelcoming. Many other farms around that care about their customers.

I have always had a good experience at Connors Farm. My daughter, granddaughter and I go there during the summer and always have a great time and get fresh produce.

Amazing one of my kids favorite fall stops Friendly staff great produce I'd give 6 stars if I could

Great farm! Have been twice. Once we did the corn maze which was fun but long with children under 4 and then again to ride the train, see the animals and jump on the trampoline! The wooden play area is so much fun!

Great place. Great selection, fresh produce. Fun place to visit. Go here all the time.

Great place to visit with the family. I'll preface this great review that we went on a weekday and can't imagine going here on a weekend. Seems like a money grab when you walk up, but after spending a couple hours (more than the usual 1 hour!!) here you'll see why it's worth the money. We took the kids here for strawberry picking but as you can tell by the pictures, the grown ups had just as much fun. They have 4 main areas: little kiddos area, hay rides, big kids area, and the farm picking. Throw in the actual market and you have 5 fun areas. The kids knocked themselves out on the play areas. We all had a blast in the farm picking strawberries. Pro tip: pack your own lunches. If you forget, prepare to spend $50 in the market; although the food looked fresh and good. Avoid the food stands and hit the market. Would recommend, but definitely worth sneaking away on a weekday to avoid the crowds.
