“Only $10 on weekends and holidays and only $5 on afternoons and certain times it's free! This charming apple orchard and pumpkin patch is about 1 hour from the Chicagoland area and has literally an entire day worth of fun! So many fun slides, little play shops, tricycle area, corn pit, tunnel slides, climbing walls, obstacle course, hay bail ride, bouncing pillow, and so much more! Plus for the adults an awesome cider room with wine slushies and cider mimosas and flights and so much more! Definitely one of our new favorites. EDIT: Fall 2025 and this is definitely the best and most affordable apple orchard in the Chicagoland area.”

“This passed beyond my expectations. I’m a hard person to please and this was an amazing experience. Easy to find and got there early enough for parking. The property is clean and workers are more than helpful. I lost my wallet and a worker remembered who I was and gave it to me. There’s everything from food trucks, pumpkin patch, apple orchard, apple cannon, paintball, animal farm, donuts and desserts and much more. I’m truly in awe and loved everything about it. Look forward to coming back and spending money here. Everything was quite delicious!”

“A breathtaking fall wonderland for all ages! Jonamac Orchard is everything you hope a family outing will be—and more. From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into a storybook. The colors, the layout, the attention to detail—absolutely breathtaking. Every corner offers something fun, safe, and joyful for kids and adults alike. Whether you're riding the train, petting the animals, or just soaking in the festive vibes, it’s clear this place was built with love. We made memories we’ll cherish forever.”

“I’ve been coming here since 1996 and it’s still just as magical for adults as it is for kids! They’ve really grown in the past several years to include more attractions for the whole family! Wagon rides, apple picking, food trucks, live bands, wine flights at the cider house, a play town for kids, mini horses, camel rides, an apple cannon, fields of wildflowers, corn maze, and so much more! My family still drives here every year for their donuts and cider!”

“First time here and I had so much fun! From the apple picking, to the wine and cider tasting to top it off with pumpkin and flower picking and great tacos! A time was HAD! I drove an hour away but it was definitely worth it! I recommend coming here if you want to feel like a big kid again or if you have children! I purchased two bottles of wine after the tasting and grabbed some donuts and cider tonight ate it all in one night!”

“This place is awesome! Very kid friendly—and perfect for a day in the fall. We picked some delicious honey crisp apples and enjoyed apple cider slushes 😋 The apple cannon was one of the many activities my kids really enjoyed! Personally loved the playground with a rope course for the kiddos!”

“Jonamac Orchard is an amazing place for families and kids. There’s plenty of space to play, and the whole area feels fun and welcoming. The staff is polite and helpful, and it’s a great spot to enjoy a relaxed picnic. A perfect weekend outing for all ages.”

“Great to get outside and away from the busy city. Super kid friendly and welcoming, affordable, busy work for the kids and fun for parents too. Also they have an updated bar, thank me later.”
