Milburn Orchards

“This place is so cool! Great for kids AND ADULTS! We came on the first day of their Fall Festival, a beautiful sunny Friday around 11a and the place was clearly popular with some established history, but it deleted fresh and new. It felt like a local farm, with just enough modern conveniences and attractions to keep it special. It’s not too big or over-commercialized. As a boy, I grew up on a farm, but haven’t been to something this special to bring back memories, in a very long time. We went to meet up with some college friends, and waste time with them as only friends can do. We don’t have kids, so we got to be the kids, climbing, crawling, petting and riding our way around the farm. We even cheered for a goat to cross the pen on its climbing structure (be sure to check out all the photos and videos with this review for context). So here’s the specifics: STAFF ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Friendly ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Knowledgeable ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ACTIVITY LEVEL ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kid spaces ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Adult spaces ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Climbing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Running ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Petting ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Riding ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The activity levels here range across all ages, small and tall alike. There are slow activities (explore at your own pace, Hay Ride, petting areas, Corn Maze, Bale Maze, etc.) and fast activities (Duck Race, Rope Race, Giant Pipe Race, etc.). One of the highlights I thoroughly enjoyed was what my wife loving called the “Hobbit Holes”, which is a hill of tunnels that go through a mountain, and there are small yellow slides to go from the upper levels to lower levels. CLEANLINESS & ORGANIZATION ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sanitizer available ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Untended messes were basically nonexistent, everything was well-maintained. We were there before the bigger crowds, so that might change, but the fact that there wasn’t overgrowth shows that they were prepared for visitors; I for one am grateful for the care they took ahead of time. ACCESSIBLE ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ They do a really good job of making the routes easy to navigate, not too steep. There are a few structures that require steps vs ramp, but I noticed that their hay ride trailer even had a lift to those with physical limitations to be able to enjoy the rides. FOOD ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ They have a plethora of food choices, but I removed a star only because today it seemed very limited in menu options, and I didn’t see anything specific to highlight dietary restrictions. Granted, it’s a farm, so if gluten is a problem as it is for my wife, you still have plenty of fruit/vegetable options. They have pizza and seasonal beverages and ciders. We purchased some of the sparkling apple cider and it was a 5-star delight of flavor, not-too-much carbonation. And the Apple Cider donuts were also a delightful treat. They have a market on-site and a side window to order the pizza with a nice patio to sit and enjoy. I’m sure there are many more details from our 2.5 hour excursion, but overall, it was a win and we hope to return again with more friends.”

“Was an Amazing Day. First time visiting. Overwhelmed by the enormous size of the property, the organization of events and attractions. So much to do and see. Told the family, we can plan 90 minutes. We stayed almost 6 hours. Had to pull the kids away, with that. Food was delicious, staff was very friendly and knowledgeable and prices were very fair. Lines went fast. Hayride was a kids' favorite along with the animals and 5' barrel roll. We will return next year. And yes...we bought cider donuts, loaf cakes, pies, popcorn, pumpkins, nachos, barbecue, slushies, IPA's, hot dogs, fries, pizza and decorations. Parking was plentiful. Perfect ♿️ parking area. Didn't see any disruptions or out of control kids. There was so much to do. Everyone got along. Didn't see any tablets !!!”

“Apple picking with the family is a great memory to create here! Everyone is smiling and helpful. We did the wagon ride to pick apples. Their wagon has a wheelchair lift in case you need that! They'll use it for your strollers as well. They have goats, chickens, pigs and a few others you can see in the children's play area. Also, I recommend visiting their store. You must get the warm apple cider donuts!”

“We had such a great time at Milburn Orchards! 🍒🍑🫐 We picked cherries, peaches, and blueberries. Everything was fresh, sweet, and delicious. The orchard is well organized, easy to get around, and staff were friendly, made it such a fun and memorable outing. Highly recommend!”

“The whole experience was great, spent 4.5 hours between the apple picking and the big back yard. Kids had a blast, lots of activities to entertain. The apple cider 21+ drinks were delicious. A def must see,stop in Maryland.”

“Honest review. First there are some comments that should not be here if u can’t afford it don’t go this place is too crowded already! Someone said a hate comment again tell an employee what farm is in charge of others behavior!! Back to my review. This place is very very crowded. The market line were 50+ people. They have very accessible parking. Two and under is free. The food is scattered everywhere there should be a designated food area. If u come with a stroller it isn’t really that nice because of the small hills and dirt. However, they have a lot of free activities which is nice. They also have a diaper changing station and nursing station which is u heard of that is the reason I give them a 3 star. If u want to feed the animals u pay for the food almost everything else there is a charge so if u are ready to spend and if u have patience it’s definitely for you”

“The Milburn playground area could really use some renovation, as it has seen better days. Many of the equipment features are outdated, and some sections of the play area are in need of repair. Despite this, the overall atmosphere of the place is enjoyable and inviting. With a few enhancements, it has the potential to be a fantastic spot for families and children to gather and play.”

“I used to go here growing up. Now they are super expensive. They used to be a great orchard that I could go to every year for fresh cheap fruit. Now they charge an arm and a leg for stuff. This business will not see another penny from my family unless they go back to how it used to be. We should be able to go to our local orchard for fresh fruits and vegetables at an affordable price. Instead, it's cheaper to just go to the grocery store. I remember when a apple cider donut cost $10 for a dozen. It's crazy now.”
