Eh. This place. We've been going multiple times a year for over 10 years. In that time I've watched it transform from a quaint farm/pumpkin patch to the absolute definition of rampant suburban consumerism. There is nothing unique or special, and you quickly feel like you're being marketed to at every turn. The place is designed to suck every dollar out of your pocket. Everything is way overpriced; $8.00 for a gallon of cider, $12-16 for a pie, 60c/lbs for pumpkins, $20+ for a small box of apples that you picked. It's incredibly crowded, the lines are long, and the food is nothing particularly special. Do note the apple picking stops at 4:00pm, and if you don't know that, you'll get chided by the staff (there are no signs that indicate the hours or that they're open/closed, so good luck). Honestly, I'm not sure why we go anymore. This was probably our last year. Next year we'll be looking for other places that hopefully echo back to what Linvilla used to be.
