Wills Family Orchard?

Has anyone been out to Wills Family Orchard? We would like to take L somewhere and get a pumpkin. Mostly this a photo opp since she won't remember it- she is almost 4 months old. Prior to moving here, I had always gone to a pumpkin patch every year as a teacher with a large class of crazy kids so it doesn't need to be fancy, just entertaining enough to make it worth the 25 min drive! I was thinking it wasn't worth paying an admission cost at some of the other places around so I was looking for a free place for us to visit and take a picture of her next to a big pumpkin! :)

Thanks!

Re: Wills Family Orchard?

  • We went this afternoon!  We had a lot of fun.  However, we didn't get a pumpkin because we didn't think there was a great variety of good ones.  It's late enough in the season that a lot of them were rotting.  Our 1 yo LOVED seeing the chickens!  There was a hay rack ride for $2 (2 & under free). The cider and pie is good, too ;) If you want to get away for a little while then it's worth it, but if all you really want is a photo opp and pumpkin, then maybe try Iowa Orchard.  It's free to pick out a pumpkin there (they are in rows in the yard, but it'd still work for pics).
