“Fall fun and zombie destruction all rolled into one. Our zombie tickets included the Halloween play yard with tons for my son and his friend to do. Carnival games, animatronic, petting zoo, 3D haunted house, tractor races, corn maze, movies, feeding and a black light spinning tube walk that crazy to walk though. That's all before the zombie shooting. While it seemed a short 15 minutes of paintball havoc it was a blast. It's set up nice and the guns worked flawlessly. Bullets are at a premium with my son and his friend emptying their clips before half way. Lucky we bought the extra rounds before we started at $10 a piece which they also still at the same price on the ride. That got us the rest of the way through. All in all it was a great experience. At $20 a piece for the zombie shoot plus $10 a piece for the extra shots in a 15 minutes ride it's quite pricy for the time you spend, but toss in the free tickets to Halloween town and it's not bad. We spent over am hour there and could have spent another. First time visitors get the Halloween town for free. Check online!”

“Pretty expensive for a day trip, but it still is a really fun time. The haunted houses are cool to walk through and see the details. The corn maze is fun and not too difficult. The hayride is fun to sit and see the orchards. The donuts and frozen cider are the best in the area though. Super fresh and delicious.”

“It was a chilly fall day, but our family group of 40 had a great time at Blake’s Big Apple. We enjoyed the hayride through the orchards and our opportunity to pick Fuji and Pink Lady apples. Of course the cider and donuts were delicious!!”

“We love a beautiful day playing and I love to hear laughter so we thought we'd give Blake's Funland a try. The cost: $10 - for each person that enters, even adults. It will be more complete and worth it once everything is in working order. The kids were really looking forward to the John Deere race track, but the tractors were broken and hard to just manually move for a 5 and 7 yr old. The bounce house was great and the old fashioned water pumpsvwith troughs and ducks would be fun but only 1 pump worked - and no ducks. I enjoyed being able to have cider and donuts as the kids played. Hot dogs: $5 each. But it's nice to have the ability to go in and out and bring a packed lunch if you'd like. It's the busy season now so I'd go during the week and skip the weekend!”

“Love going to Blake’s haunted big apple every year with friends, the only complaint I have is there’s a lot of lines, line to the ticket booth even when you buy your tickets online you still have to get in line to get them, then you have to wait in line for whatever attraction you go on, then if you want to buy cider and donuts you have to wait in a line, and even the bathrooms have lines, I think if you bought your tickets online then they should either give you some options like maybe send the tickets in the mail or some other options. But other than that it’s fun to go every year with friends, it feels like a tradition to me, I would suggest going to the haunted attractions on a Friday night or a Sunday night to avoid big crowds”

“If you want to waste your night, go there. The lines are ridiculous, 3 hours for one attraction is insane they have no organization at all, idk who runs the haunted attractions, but they should be fired. The kids' tractor rides every single tractor has flat tires no lights for them to see, the hand sanitizer after the kids petting zoo was empty that was an hour after opening, the duck races had one duck, charging people $50 per person they should be able to keep things filled and nothing should be missing. Seems like they want people to just spend money on booze and then drive home drunk. They say they are improving, but 2 weeks ago, someone also stated the pumps were broken, and they still are. Obviously, they don't care. The staff was too busy playing with a snake to actual work. The zombie paintball was a real rip off they let you shoot all your ammo at target practice, and then you shoot about 3 actual zombies before they stop and let you BUY more ammo. Our guns' safety kept turning on and off, so you couldn't even shoot the gun half the time. They charged for more paint balls while their staff were throwing them at each other. Will never support Blakes again after this experience at any of their locations. Update- Emailed Blakes directly as they requested, and obviously, they dont care and will sweep this under the rug. You'd think that they would do something other than say "we will pass along the information " to make up for spending between $400 to $500 dollars on such a disaster and deceiving experience at their farm.”

“Money and time absolutely wasted. Trust me, I usually don’t leave reviews but this is unacceptable. The night started with waiting in line for an hour to get the BOUGHT tickets that we had on our phone. What kind of a joke is that? For almost 50 dollars? The organization of this place is an absolute mess. We bought a combo for all the attractions just to end up in a line to the haunted barn that lasted over 2 hours in freezing cold for an underwhelming experience of a 3-minute haunted barn. Didn’t get to do anything else. Do not go there if you’re seeking Halloween attractions or a good time. Overpriced and ridiculous. I won’t be back.”

“Went to the Haunted attractions for Halloween this year and it was not good at all. I am not one to send reviews but this was not up to the Blake’s standard at all. The lines were extremely long, so long in fact we paid for 3 attractions and could only get through one. And the one we did do was full on animatronics and was not scary at all. Even entering in there was another line inside. There was poor planning on their part, and no one suffers but the customer. I can say I expected more and am sad to have to write this but people need to know this was not worth it.”
