1st time at this location! Parking is free. If you buy your tickets online it’s a little bit cheaper, $1.50 off per ticket for Saturday and Sundays. Almost everything is free with a ticket except for the camel rides, apple cannon and parakeets. I think for the kids the amount is worth it, but for the adults with older kids I think it’s a little bit too high. There’s pig races! We spent 3.5 hours here.

Kids always have a blast! Adults do to...after they get over the ridiculous $18 a person gate price.

So much fun! Many attractions included for kids. Those few that you pay extra (camel, pony rides) are less expensive than Grants Farm. So many snack, food, drink and cider options. You can rent fire pit or catch multiple kids show. Evening hay ride was very well done!

Questions & Answers

Is there a fee to just pick apples?

Peggy Birkhead | Oct 4, 2017
T.J. Simpson | Oct 4, 2017

As of 2017 yes, though it's minimal. You must purchase a $1 'field access' pass to get to the orchards. It's good all day, and children under 2 are exempt.

There is no separate fee for the hay ride. You pay one admission price to the entire fun farm which includes the corn maze and hay ride.

Is the a fee when you pick pumpkins , do the also charge you for each pumpkin you pick out ??

Krystel Morales | Oct 4, 2018
Ara Robbins | Oct 4, 2018

Yes and yes. If you go to the one in Belleville then you only pay for the pumpkins. If you go to Millstadt you pay to get in. Then for the pumpkins and they only have port a potties. We go to a family run farm that is less commercialized. Braeutigam Orchards in Belleville... Cheaper and lots of fun.
