My experience was more like a 3-3.5, but I'm rounding up -- both because weather is not in the orchard's control, and because as an adult I don't think I'm necessarily the target demographic. Unfortunately, as soon as we pulled into the parking lot it began to POUR rain. We waited it out in the car for a while, like 20 minutes, but it didn't seem to be stopping, so we attempted to leave, but because so many other people were leaving traffic came to a standstill and it took us 10 minutes just to get to the end of the parking row -- which was kind of a blessing because the sun came out more and we decided to stay and chance it. There seems to be only one entrance and like 1-2 exits which kind of seems like a safety concern. Admission is a bit pricey - about $23 per person on the weekends if you don't buy online. I guess it's a good price if you enjoy mostly everything, but for that you'll need time. We grabbed a snack. There are a lot of food places - BBQ, grilled cheese, pizza etc. I actually thought the prices were pretty decent and the food was high quality for the price. We split a gourmet grilled cheese which was melty and tasty, and got a honey lavender cider which was absolutely delightful. We did the wagon ride out to the tulip fields. You can pay to pick your own but we just admired them. There are a lot of colors and different varieties, and cute photo ops all around. There was a scenic train ride that went through the fields. There were also a bunch of carnival rides, which we didn't go on. I read that there was axe throwing but we missed that. There was live music in the food area as well. They have some other fun things like giant bubble blowing stations, lots of snack stops, a retail space with gourmet goodies. Our second big thing was going to the petting barn, psyched about the "baby animal" experience. This consists of baby chicks and ducks. If you want to get up close and hold them you have to wait in a long line - we were waiting like half an hour to hold a duck for like 30 seconds. It was very cute and wholesome but honestly I wouldn't do that again. The chicks were unfortunately too young so we could only pet them, not hold them. It was a little underwhelming and I've seen other farms do baby animal days with much more variety. There were some other animals (that you could get up close to more immediately) like pigs, alpacas, goats, and highland cows -- some of which had cute babies. I don't think anything besides the flowers was open for u-pick, but I believe you have to pay extra for that anyway? This place is huge and very popular but I did get the sense that for the amount of people it draws, there are limited things to do. Granted, it was a holiday and a weekend, so I'm sure that contributed to the crowds. But also a TON of people left during the rain storm and we still were waiting in some pretty long lines so I can't even imagine how it would be if it was sunny. Overall this place is cute and I think everything is top quality, but ultimately I think it caters more towards families who have time and money to kill. It's probably a good deal if you live close and get a seasonal pass and come multiple times a year for all the different festivals- I do like that they have different things going on at all times. I wouldn't turn anyone away if that was their thing and I'd recommend it to a certain type of person -- but this is probably a once and done or once in a blue moon type place for me. read more

Feeling disappointed, we came for strawberries pick up but not yet ripped, so check their website or call first! The farm has not much shade to stay out off the sun, very windy and dusty we're all cover with dust! Here the tips, wear sunscreen, bring some water to stay hydrate, hat is useful, stroller as well but very bumpy surface tho! They are accepted credit card and mobile pay, food are acceptable price! Restrooms are clean! Purchase ticket online is saver! read more

Lakeland Orchard - Train ride - Attraction Farms Near Me - Scott Township, Pennsylvania

My family and I came here. We thought it was really worth coming here. The price was right and included a lot into the admission ticket which was worth it. There was a petting zoo, red express train, carsol ride, bags for picking apples and much more. I would recommend packing some snacks my husband and I thought the food at this establishment was very expensive it ranged from $10 - $40. Other then that we all enjoyed being at this farm and I highly recommend coming here. read more

Lakeland Orchard - Tulip festival - Attraction Farms Near Me - Scott Township, Pennsylvania

We came as a big group with Turn Down For What, a nonprofit for adults with Down Syndrome. We got our arm bracelets and went to the picnic area for lunch. There was a band playing and we really enjoyed interacting with the band. There are many activities to enjoy here, some of the favorites were the ax throwing, hay ride and the bounce area. I had the berry alcohol slushie and it was so delicious and had the perfect amount of alcohol. The bounce area was fun and felt like a great exercise. This was a great group experience and we all had an amazing time! read more

I live an hour away. They close earlier than they say. The tickets were for 7:50, it was closed when we got there at 7:40. Ridiculous and a waste of money. Won't be coming back since they scam apparently. Edit- after leaving a message and making a review I got my money back. read more

Such a wonderful experience! Reasonable priced tickets, with both apple and blackberry picking, as well as picking beautiful sunflowers. The apples and blackberries were absolutely delicious. There were lots of activities for both kids and adults, and staff was very helpful! read more

Great little place to visit, I am in town for work and looked up things to do in the area. They have a strawberry festival going on. It is quaint there are several attractions for families like a carousel, rides and games. There is corn vile and ax throwing for all ages. On weekends they have a band playing. Tickets are very reasonable you get to pick a quart of fresh strawberries yourself. They take you on a short tractor ride to the field and let you loose. They have their cider available to taste or buy by bottle. They have several strawberry flavored desserts to try. I definitely recommend visiting if you are in area and want to have a nice time with family, friends or like me all by myself. read more

My boyfriend and I bought tickets to go on Saturday 10/19. He had a season pass and I had purchased my ticket online right before we entered (they have signs in the parking lot advertising a discount online). We went into the orchard expecting to be able to pick apples, walk around, and then ride the Halloween light train, which we had bought tickets for for 9 o'clock. Unfortunately, we happen to get there past the time that we were allowed to go apple picking. The time the apple picking closed was not advertised on the website, in the terms and conditions of buying the ticket, the description of the ticket, the signs in front of the entrance, or in the FAQ's section of the website. When we asked if I could get a voucher to come apple picking another day we were told that the trade off for apple picking was the light show train. The light show train that they highly advise you reserve a space for in advance, which costs an extra $6. I called today to ask again if I could get a voucher for apple picking since I had paid extra for the train and did not get to apple pick after they failed to properly communicate the time at which it closes. The response I was given was that I could come fill the apple bags with the apples in the retail tent. If the time the apple picking closed was advertised at any point before entering the place I'd say the experience was annoying but fair enough I suppose. However, that was not the case and makes the whole situation quite aggravating. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is because the staff was very polite while we were there. I'd recommend spending your time and money somewhere else. read more

I have been to Lakeland Orchard many times and usually it is a wonderful experience. However, this week I went on a weeknight mostly just to see the Halloween lights. It cost a party of three people $60 to get in. We got there at 6 o'clock, and the merry-go-round was not running, The wagon rides to the Apple orchard shut down at 5:30, the cow train stops at six, there was nobody running the axe throwing, the connect four games in the field were broken, half of the food stands were closed, the fire pits were not lit, despite it being a cold night. The only things there were to do were ride the scrambler and jump on a giant pumpkin, neither of which were really for adults. We tried to get apples from the sho, and they were completely sold out. All we wanted to do was see the Halloween lights which you cannot drive through anymore. So it cost us basically $60 for a five minute train ride to see Halloween lights. I was very disappointed. If you are going to charge that much money for admission on a weeknight, you should really have more to offer. read more

We love Lakeland orchard! So many things to do and the kids have a blast in the corn tent and jumping on the pumpkin. Always a good food selection & live music. The only downfall is the bathroom sh*t-uation, only port-a-potty's and they needed a little attention. Lakeland could easily be 10/10 with flushing toilets. read more

Wonderful place to bring the kids. You can go on merry a go round, horse train, corn box pick flowers and vegetables everything

Wow! What a gem in NE PA! Great family fun for any age group. It was a beautiful fall foliage drive to get there. Lots to do for the little ones and axe throwing for the older ones! We went as a family of 4 and enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich, homemade pierogies, fries, cider donuts and of course the selection of hard cider was delicious. Their market tent has so many cool gift items and great fruits and products from the orchard. Lots of photo ops througThe best surprise was their newly constructed train station. It's definitely a wow factor walking into it. We had the last train ride of the night under a full hunter's moon. How romantic! The ride through the Halloween lights was very nice. Dress appropriately for the season and bring a blanket to snuggle on the train. My only wish is the train ride could last longer. Stop by and prepare to enjoy! read more

My husband and I live two hours away from this orchard and I was looking forward to visiting this orchard for the Strawberry festival and we went this week (early July) and I was disappointed to say the least. First, when we arrived we were told that they were completely out of strawberries (that is so crazy to me). However, we had already purchased tickets online so we decided to go in and make the best of it without being able to pick anything. We were given two coupons for either a strawberry slush, kettle corn, a half dozen of donuts or a strawberry shortcake...there was a food truck there that had burgers and fries which we tried and the food was average, nothing to rave about. Then we tried the flight of cider and strawberry slush (with alcohol), they were both okay but you could tell the the slush was not made with real strawberries and strawberry syrup with instead. Then we went to cash in one of the coupons for a strawberry shortcake, the pound cake was super dry and the strawberries in it were either frozen or canned but not fresh. We were pretty discouraged at this point but we proceeded to get the strawberry donuts that looked so good on the website, I took one bite and was done. The donuts tasted processed and were definitely not made from scratch. We assumed that everything would be made from fresh strawberries and would be homemade but hardly anything was authentic. The only positives were that it was very kid-friendly, had staff that was nice and the overall environment was really family friendly. Therefore, if you are just looking for something to do and live close by, it's okay but I wouldn't make a special trick to visit. I love orchards and this was a huge disappointment in terms of the overall experience especially with not being able to pick any fruit. read more

Great place as far as fun day for family BUT VERY EXPENSIVE to attend the Sunflower Festival - $17.95 pp to get in $20 for metal bucket which you can fill by cutting your own sunflowers. Nice day for sure but pricy. Great Fall decor items reasonably priced, cider, cider donuts. read more

I don't write reviews often but felt compelled to write one in this case. Our family had a wonderful time. Although the price may seem a little on the expensive side to get in, there is so much included we felt it was well worth the price - kids attractions, veggie/apple picking, flower picking, live music, orchard ride, axe throwing, etc. As two physicians we were most impressed by the covid precautions- they were well thought out and executed. Probably the best example of covid precautions we have seen. Staff was friendly and attentive. Grounds were clean and beautiful. We will definitely be back! read more
