I think this may be my 4th or 5th fall going to Hidden Valley, and I love it every time. Living in the city, it's fun to make the extra drive north to really feel like you're escaping to a fun adventure. This year, they added SO many activities for kids! We do not have kids, but if you are a parent you should really check out all the fun and cute activities they have for little ones to do. I love the pumpkin patch and the apple orchards. They also had more food options this year. We ate from the chicken food truck and our food was really good. You absolutely have to get an apple cider slushy though - that's the main reason why we go. You can add in some bourbon at the bar! Can't wait to go again next year.

Hidden Valley Orchards has always been one of my favorite farms to visit it for. They have the best apple cider donuts and apple fritters. My husband and I have been going every year for seven years or so. We just had our first baby and we're excited to take him for the first time, so we stopped in the other day. We noticed everything was majorly re-organized and confusing-- not just because it was different than we knew it to be before, but because there were cash registers everywhere and we learned the hard way that not all the cash registers can check out every item you want to buy, so you have to try to find which cash register can check you out. We learned that the changes were due to new management. However, they clearly kept the same apple fritter recipe, because it was just as delicious as I remember. The cider donuts are bigger, but I say better than past years? You get to sample them before you buy them. They are much bigger than anticipated. We also got a "frosty cow", which is apple cider/with vanilla soft serve. 100/10 recommend. I have been on the hunt this fall for a really good cider as I have found most likely to be too sweet and prefer a balance of sweet and tart. The cider they serve is great! I believe it is Wesler brand? When we went outside, we saw a massive amount of construction as they have put up a ton of kid activities. While they have clearly worked hard to make them look nice and establish some branding, it is definitely very different than in past years when you were able to just look out over the beautiful Orchard and pumpkin patch. I always loved this place above others because it hadn't turned into one giant play yard.... There used to be some really great food options in the main building, but now that spot just serves sweet treats. The building next-door has pizza, which we didn't try. And then way down in the play yard, there is a food truck type stand, selling chicken tenders, burgers, and fries. We got a classic chicken sandwich and fries for $14. It was a good value. The sandwich didn't look terribly exciting, but I was pleasantly surprised when I bit into it. They clearly toast the bun or something because it gave a lot of flavor to the sandwich. The waffle fries were pretty normal seasoned waffle fries. While I did enjoy them, and can't believe I was saying this, they gave us too much. We saw tons of fries in the trashcan, indicating others thought the same. I can definitely appreciate good value for my money, but I can see them actually losing some money here. I am a big leftovers person, so I took mine home and ate them for dinner! We did get some good news that they planted over 2000 apple trees and are planning to really bring back their apple productions that they can make their own cider there. Curious to see what it will all look like next year!

I can't believe this fall was my first visit to this farm! It was absolutely beautiful. The stunning views and heavenly smell of donuts were the best welcome. There was something for all ages. My kids loved the playground area and activity yard. My husband and I visited the bar and tried delicious cider-themed beverages. The server was very thoughtful and treated our daughters to frozen drinks. It made them so happy! My only complaint was the cost of the activity yard. It was $60 for a family of four, and some of the activities were out of service. Overall, we had a great time and will certainly return!

Beautiful outdoor Orchard. The employees are nice. The food is fast food but tasty. Not too much was open for us to explore but even still, we really enjoyed it. Will visit again once everything is

Very lovely piece of land with nice bar and fire out area- would be great as a destination for a party bus type girls day out or an evening with friends, or maybe a nice place for a photo shoot. It's very big so prepare to walk or bring wagon/stroller. We went at the end of the season for a fun fall activity so there weren't a really any pumpkins or sunflowers left and not really a lot for kids other than a really short tractor hay ride and playground- there is a small waterfall- but it was dry at the time we visited. The place is very beautiful and the food we had was delicious- sandwich, tenders and fries food truck was on point. The apple cider donuts are the most flavorful spiced cake donuts I have ever had and the French bread pizza looked and smelled delicious- but we didn't try it as we were too full from other food. It's a bit of a drive from where we live, but if we are ever back in the area, we will definitely stop by again to try the pizza and get more donuts!

What is the business model? This company is a shadow of its former self. Even the Apple Cider is not made on premises. The 3:00 opening is off-putting.

Hidden Valley Orchards is a good spot to hang out and drink but don't expect apple picking or a long time in pumpkin picking. For the most part, they have all the produce out at the front of the store to choose rather than going out and picking your own. They had just run out slushee cider when we went but they had pretty good little treats. The outdoor bar was great and for the smaller amount of people there it was open to get a drink in a short time. They had so much space for games and even have so much space for events. We went out to the fields to roam around the property and I would just advise to be very careful on the hill down as one of the members of my group fell and hurt her knee. They had goats on the property to go see as well which was interesting for an orchard to have.

I have been wanting to come and visit for a long time. I had heard that they have excellent pie. The day I went, it was beautiful however, it was at the tail end of the season. Food was not available, and the baked goods were scant in nature. I had to settle for some absolutely beautiful scenery and some beers. This is not a problem. I was able to try a couple beers from Lexington Kentucky, and also some Ohio beer. The grounds are beautiful and nice for walking around. There is a lovely covered bridge just down the way. If you are here earlier in the season, they have bonfires hayrides and more.
