I love Wickham farms!…read more I've been going here for 4 years and I feel like every year it gets busier (so that does definitely have a downside as the farm and parking lot get full), and they add more cute little things around the farm as well as more events. You're not allowed to bring any food or drinks in, but they now have enough food options that I think most could find something that works for them. The hot foods like burgers are pretty basic and remind me of school lunches, so they're a bit overpriced for what they are. The apple cider shakeups are the best though, and they also have great apple cider donuts and slushy. Highly recommend. Tickets are pretty expensive. If you're an adult without kids, it might be worth it to buy the full ticket pass (for apple picking and the fun farm area) once if you want to check it out, but in general I recommend buying the apple picking ticket only. You get to pick a bag of apples, take some cute pics in some of the areas set up for that purpose, and check out the pumpkins and the store, where you can buy the apple shakeup and donut. In the summer they also have flower picking events and the sunflower spectacular tickets which have also been a great time!

My friends and I made it to the last weekend of Apple, picking and activities at Wickham Farms…read more Truthfully, after looking at the reviews, I was very skeptical about paying for an entrance fee and worried that they were going to be too many children around. However, I bit the bullet and found the value($23.95 for barnyard tickets and $28.95 including apple picking) to be worthwhile as well as the selection of activities for all ages to be enjoyable. To every member of the staff that we approached, they were all very kind and informative. We got to enjoy the apple cider donuts, apple cider, pumpkin smash, and the ride to the apple orchards. We were surprised to see an event where they drop a large pumpkin high above ground, but it was very cool to watch (and wondered if this was because this was their last weekend of opening!)

If you visit ask for Susan the owner she is wonderful, so outgoing and knowledgeable! Had a great time learning about her flower fields. Friday nights come and have a picnic in between the rows or you can choose to sit on chairs. Bring your own food and enjoy sunset it's so beautiful here. The barn has merchandise for sale, along with lavender cuttings there are soaps, candles, and more. Weddings, graduations, showers, endless possibilities to celebrate here. Highly recommend visiting.

It's the first and last venue we looked at; I knew immediately I wanted to marry the love of my life here. The entire staff is top tier; they pay attention to detail and make sure everything is perfect for your big day. The owners are the sweetest and purest people I've met. Marilyn and her daughter-in-law Mary made the process easy as heck for us. Sarah and Lisa were our day of coordinators and they were beyond amazing all day and night. They're all genuine people who love love, as most people do. If I could get married here every year, I would do it in a heartbeat. We're blessed by God to have met the people of Akron Acres who gave us a pinterest perfect wedding day.

Everything I was looking for in fall activities!!…read more I came across this place on Yelp, through suggestions of friends looking for a place to pick pumpkins straight from the patch. It's one of the activities I enjoy doing most in the fall, and have grown disappointed with other farms as the years went by and their popularity skyrocketed. This place is fairly under the radar - a bit of a drive even past the attractions in Clarence, but I've grown to love Akron lately and so I (of course) didn't mind making the journey. In fact, I loved this place so much that I brought my family back here the very next day. Akron Acres is a part of the Kelkenberg farm family. I haven't been to their namesake farm, but if it's anything like Akron Acres I'm sure I would have an absolutely amazing time. Activities here during their fall season included a hayride out to the pumpkin patch, corn maze, and things like pony rides for the kids. The hayride is $12 and you're allowed to pick any pumpkin you want from the patch (even the biggest one you can't carry) - they also had combo ticket prices if you wanted to participate in some of the other activities here. Sadly we went during a wet and rainy weekend, so I had to miss out on the corn maze BUT the farm animals 10000% made up for my FOMO. Oh yes, there are dozens of farm animals roaming about! Most notably, we saw ponies, a large draft horse (not sure what breed they are? but they are HUGE), pigs, sheep, turkeys, chickens, and of course GOATS. There were also BABY GOATS and they were absolutely ADORABLE, one of them tried to eat my clothes. Made my life complete. You can also buy an assortment of other things while you're here, not just tickets for fun activities! They sell pumpkins and gourds if you don't feel like going out to the patch - they also have Indian corn and corn stalks, hay, among other things. There's a food stand that sells kettle corn, maple cotton candy, and candy apples. You can also shop a super cute country store here, with all sorts of goodies - I ended up buying a delicious smelling candle that they were burning in the store while I was there. Needless to say, there's a ton of really fun things to do while you're here, both for kids and adults. It's a bit less well known than some of the other pumpkin places in WNY, which is why I ended up liking it so much. Both days we went, it was pleasantly busy but not overly crowded. There is also "The Gathering Barn," which is where weddings are hosted - and from the pictures I've seen online, it sounds beautiful! All in all, we had such an amazing experience here that we're going to be back in November for their Christmas trees! Can't wait to return!!

Kate told us about the plans for the future and expansion etc. We will also look forward to coming back again.

The setting is picturesque, with all of the animals really meshing well together and thriving, knowing this is their home but welcoming you along and inviting you in. The geese and such reminded me of cute little guards, protecting their furry friends (but not in an aggressive way ...). The cat was super friendly and wants to rub your leg and be pet but is always on the move. Its fur is super soft! The llamas were awesome and their owner, who took us on our hike, was very informative and willing to answer questions. He was very proud of his llamas and happy to show us pictures of them winning shows at the Erie county fair and such. They are really beautiful and sure clean up nice for their shows but they sure have some stinky breath! It's totally worth it though! The owner will let you pick the llama although I think all of the llamas we walk are male and the girls stay behind. It's kind of funny to see the boys and girls acknowledge eachother and get a little animated when they catch eachother eyes. Walking them on the hike is a real treat. I had the biggest llama, Snowman, and just like when I go horseback riding and get the biggest horse from experience, Snowman loved to eat the whole way and let the other llamas know he is the boss! But he wasn't mean or anything and he made these cute little noises that I interpreted as happy noises and I just loved my time with him so much! He wasn't mean a good boy and very sweet to me. His ears would turn down when other llamas got in his personal space or he got in theirs and wanted them to move lol. A little huff and he let them know he was in charge. He was like a gentle giant and totally majestic. I would totally take him for my hike again. Watching my llama eat was so cute too! I realized I had never seen one eat and Snowman just looked like a big shaggy dog grazing. Super cute! I appreciate him posing for photos with me too! And my friend Danielle's llama was nuzzling in her neck during the hike. So so sweet! We were allowed ample time to bond with our llamas before and after the hike. It never felt rushed and the experience felt very full and complete. Just thinking of the experience instantly makes me smile and I have so many photos and a video of my llama and it is instant joy. I cannot recommend this enough! You can also adopt a llama, have a field trip, hold a special event, etc. here. Absolutely wonderful and flawless experience.
