“The haunted houses were awesome! Get your tickets early because the ticket line was long. We got ours early and got through 2 of the houses before people started piling in! They do a good show when the doors open to let everyone in fireworks and zombies!! Very Good! The haunted hay ride had free donuts and cider after. They had fire pits for warming up too. You really need to get the whole attraction package. It starts at 730 and we got through them all by 930 but thats cause we got in line ahead of time. Its well worth the money.”

“I greatly appreciate how Wiard's Orchard did Teacher Appreciation Weekend back on September 20th. I'm a teacher and a single mom to a 5yr old, so it was a huge blessing for both of us to get in for free. My child LOVED the fire truck ride, as well as the sand box and corn pit. I was also glad they did a haunted hay ride during the daytime when it wasn't too scary for kdis. We spent 5hrs at Wiard's that day, and it was exciting the entire time. Follow them on Facebook to see the next Appreciation Weekend.”

“We got the season passes, and it was well worth it!!! We have enjoyed every visit! We love all of the fun things there are to do there! Our favorites are the playscapes, Karaoke, and the mountain slides. We always get donuts and cider on our way out. It does get very busy on the weekends but it seems to be run very well and does not take away from the fun experience!”

“This was so fun! The kids had such a great time. The cider and donuts (it's expensive everywhere) was really really good. We loved seeing the animals up close.”

“This is by far the largest cider mill I have been to, and it kind of looses some of the charm for me, but we still had a good time! We went as a group of 9 and enjoyed the petting farm, feeding the llama and goats. We spent some time in the country store. Lots of cute decor and locally made jams, etc. I was disappointed you couldn't just get a single warm donut or a single cup of cider. There was a lot more to see and do, but we just relaxed under the treats and enjoyed the afternoon.”

“This is a nice family owned and fairly traditional place to visit in the fall. I didn't go out back where all the activities are, but I stopped in the store and it was a lot of fun to look at all the decorations and fall foods they offer. I grabbed some garlic mustard and cherry butter, as well as a half gallon of apple cider. 🍎 They also have a great display of their history as a family farm. Clearly, they are family oriented and I love that.”

“Best warm donut i have had in a very long time. Super fresh melt in your mouth. clean and well organized. Only reason for 4 star rating are their prices. 3 small cider slush + half a dozen donuts will set you back $30. Other than that its a nice place.”

“Wiard's was okay. It's a staple fall activity but it is seriously expensive. Two adults was a $114 entry fee, plus a $6 processing fee. Then you had to pay to pick apples, pay for a pumpkin, food was overpriced but it was good. The store was also incredibly overpriced. You would think that when you pay admission to an apple orchard, it would at least include a bag for you pick apples or a pumpkin.”
