“Absolutely incredible! So much to do for the kiddos, doughnuts were amazing, apple cider slushy and kids apple juice souvenir cups in apples or pumpkins themes during the fall are super cute! Definitely busy on weekends but everything runs pretty smooth. Waited in line to purchase items less than 10 mins, they have plenty or registers. Lots of places to sit, a covered sand pit (I'd just recommend bringing your own sand toys) lots of play houses, some swings, hayrides, bee ride, apple shooting. The one thing I wish they had that I didn't see were those vats of corn kids can play in. Definitely bring your stroller or wagon if you have young kids, to carry your drinks and heavy bag of apples, don't wear your nice shoes, and be prepared to walk. Most of trees near the front had been picked over or didn't have apples that were ready to be picked yet. But with some walking down the hill a ways we had plenty of gorgeous apples to choose from. Overall, a wonderful experience and we will be making trips back in the future! ❤️❤️❤️”

“The mountain views are stunning, the air is fresh, and everything feels peaceful and natural. The apples are super fresh and delicious especially the Fuji ones! The market area is full of local products like honey, jams, and fresh fruit, all neatly organized. The staff are friendly, and the whole atmosphere is relaxing and perfect for photos. It's a great spot for families, couples, or anyone who loves nature. If you visit in the fall, the scenery is absolutely breathtaking.”

“My son and I had an amazing time. We ventured up to Sky Top on a random Monday and left with more apples than we could eat AND donuts. It's not to say we didn't work for our apple -- definitely got my steps in walking the fields but it's fun. There is plenty of stuff to do with the kiddos like shooting apples across a pond and going on a tractor ride and of course indulging in apple treats. Fun spot! Highly recommend.”

“We LOVED Sky Top Orchard!! We ate some delicious hot apple cider donuts, we bought some fresh Gala apples- so crisp and perfect! We also got hot apple cider which was fresh and sweet, and we got a small hand Apple pie - delicious! We enjoyed a hayride and the apple cannons were a blast! Definitely a great place to take the whole family! There were lots of people there but it didn’t feel too crowded because it’s huge!”

“Best apple orchard around. We try to go every year. Huge selection and lots of fun activities for kids. It can get a bit pricey depending on what you choose to do. Apple cannon is fun for kids and well priced. The place is HUGE so bring your walking shoes & a good wagon if you plan to pick your own.”

“Very crowded, great views and lots to do. Great family place for fall. The food was a bit overwhelming a pizza $24 and the pumpkin selections stated at what looked like to be $20 and up for a pumpkin. They could add a few more tables. A lot of people were standing around for an hour waiting on a table to open up so they can eat. Good thing is they allow you to bring your own food also.. you wNt be able to go in the orchard without paying $30 which was a real bummer for us as we only wanted to pick a few apples and not a huge bags worth.”
