The cortado was more flat white but it was tasty and delicious and it was nice to sit for a bit and people watch before heading to the riverboat. Lots of other food and drink options here and shopping too. [Review 830 of 2026 - 548 in Missouri - 26011 overall]

The shops are somewhat spread out, so a lot of walking required. Plenty of parking available, first 2 hours are free.

There's also a steam boat museum with a gift shop. Among restaurants they had Arabian, Brazilian, Indian, Vietnamese, Mexican, Ethiopian, Filipino and a Pizza place. All these places were small shops with limited seating area. There was one boba tea store and a Dutch flower shop as well. We spent over an hour exploring different shops. We bought some souvenir goods from here. All the staff members and associates were friendly and helpful. I wish there was better heating in the passage way, especially the restaurant and grocery stores wing.

We have enjoyed their produce at the the farmers market, so getting to the source is next-level. If you're there for strawberries, then just know that the patch is wayyyyyy in the back. You can hitch a ride on one of the tractor-pulled carts or hoof it yourself, just through the play areas and up the gentle slope. Berries are poppin' in May, so getcha a box and get to hunting! Hot tip: the best berries seem to be in the middle. A flat box runs you $0.75 and the berry price is a bit over $5/lb. If you just can't stop picking, then you'll fill a flat quickly and you're rewarded with maybe $40 worth of strawberry goodness. These berries are so worth it! Clean, sweet, and just ripe for the picking! Gieringers does other berries (blackberries, blueberries, etc.) but those are best picked well into the summer. The service is awesome, whether it's help with parking or a lift to & from the berry patch, the staff is always helpful and easy to find. Great enterprise and great fun!

They still do blueberry picking in June, so keep eyes on their socials and website. Maybe it's the Kansas in my blood, but it's really, really beautiful around this farm (much more so than nearby Missouri farms). Rolling hills, green tree canopies, dirt roads and big sky all while being surprisingly close to Lawrence. This farm was such a fun experience to pick strawberries at, and I'll go step-by-step in just a sec, but I have to shout out that I really appreciated the simplicity of this experience. Some of the u-picks and pumpkin patches go overboard with cheesy rides, hastily-made plywood games, etc. Some may love those, I don't always. I prefer to let the nature and friendly people around provide the fun, and Wohletz shines in that regard. Bring cash! That's important and while the berries are priced fairly, you don't want to be stuck with a basket you can't cover. Again, we gravitate to this area a lot anyways, but the rural land around Lawrence really is a special place. I'm just now realizing we drive up this way for strawberries in the spring, trail runs in the summer, pumpkin picking at Schaake's Pumpkin Patch in the fall, and cut a Christmas tree at Strawberry Hill Tree Farm in the winter. Enjoy Wohletz and if you miss their prime picking season, they are also available at the OP Farmers Market on most days!

Schaake's covers you for all of the above, just outside of Lawrence. Some other area pumpkin patches and farms offer pumpkin "picking" by simply setting up a ton of pumpkins for you to pick from a pile which is essentially the same as a grocery store. Schaake's is great because you can actually traipse through the fields, step over the vines and pluck your own pumpkins straight from the farm. In non-Covid times, they have a tractor ride to take you out and it'll pick you up so you don't have to haul them back. Covid times, they've added wheelbarrows up front so you can haul them easily. There are other little fun things here like a pumpkin slingshot, a chicken coop, concessions with cider & kettle corn, hay bale maze, cows, and an old school playground area. If you like the peaceful openness of rural Kansas, this farm will certainly deliver on that, even though it's very close to Lawrence. If it's one of those perfect weekends in October, know that it's going to be very busy, but it's always fun no matter how packed it gets. It's worth the trip over from KC as well as we haven't found a better pumpkin patch anywhere around.

When I go older and had my own kids, I told them how much I used to love picking apples with my family. I tried to look up Stephenson's and saw they had closed. After a quick google search, I found Sunflower Orchard and was glad it wasn't too far of a drive. When we arrived, I will admit I was a bit disappointed by the size of the trees. I was hoping for large trees that the kids would have to climb up to get. The disappointment was short-lived because as soon as I tasted their fuji apple I was so excited to try other varieties. We grabbed a couple bags and went to explore their orchard and discovered some new varieties. Our favorites were the ultragold and winecrisp. There was a candy crisp that the kids also liked. I would highly recommend everyone to add Sunflower Orchard to their list of fall traditions!

The tomatoes are so flavorful and juicy! You can't find them like that in any store! They even have homemade jams and jelly and honey that we bought as gifts to take home with us! So many different flavors like jalapeno garlic jelly and tomato jelly and Raspberry and Rosemary jam! Wonderful combinations that I probably wouldn't have had the opportunity of trying prior to coming here! Their hours of operation are Saturdays from 9:00am to 12:00pm.
