Insider tip: Mondays (except holidays) are great days to visit as they generally don't allow school groups those days and guest visitation is lower. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are second behind Mondays as far as slower days to visit. Arriving when they first open or after 3pm is the best way to avoid crowds though keep in mind this is just a guide.
Things to do: U pick, hayrides, doughnuts (no explanation needed!) picnic areas, barnyard animals, apple cider tastings, nature trail, bees and gift shop.
