These locations are 1 ½ miles apart and you use your transportation to change locations.

Scheduling requirements: While several schools may be in attendance at the same time as your group, we limit the total number at any given time.

Connecting your visit with an Orchard Walk: Specifically designed to the level of your group's age, this is a great introduction to where apples are grown, the seasons of the year, how an apple gets its food and how apples taste (an apple and a drink of cider are included). The orchard is a very short walk from the Fest area.
Added cost: $1.00 per person
Added length of stay: ½ hour
Recommended age: While the Fest is geared toward 2 – 5 year old preschoolers and elementary children, the orchard walk is best suited for 4's and 5's.
