“We had a fantastic time at Otter Creek Orchard! It’s a new favorite!!The owners were so friendly. The admission price and pumpkin prices are very reasonable. The layout is so nice - not too spread out and shade trees throughout. The wagon ride out to the pumpkins, corn maze, and sunflowers was fun and returns through a charming lane of shade trees! I do have to say the apple cider mini donuts, freshly made and melt in your mouth, were definitely a huge family favorite and worth the drive just for those!”

“Yeah this place is great. I can’t think of one negative thing to say. The place is well kept spread out something for everyone well priced. All the boxes are checked with this place. They’ve kept the fun fall atmosphere and haven’t made it all corporate commercial like. Love it!!!?”

“Had a lovely time with our family. Although I would have liked to have staff near the apples to help point out what the different varieties are and maybe to educate the kids on the process of growing apples. But that's more so feedback than a complaint.”

“Took more videos than pictures. First time I've visited. It was a great time, and not just for my kid: they got things for adults, as well. One thing, in particular, is the pumpkin launcher. Food was good, too.”
