Linvilla Orchards Review

Great place for a family day. Spend your money wisely though. Hayride is just a ride.

Granddaughter had birthday party there and it was great! I highly recommend.

Haven't been there for a while it has gotten alot more expensive, but they offer more to do and eat, was very very crowded

Last week I visited here for the fall festival and must say place is amazing. Many fun stuff to do with your kids . Nice place

Awesome as always a variety of things to do for the whole family

Haven't been here in over three years. We used to come yearly for their Fall Fest. Had a great time with the Kids, but it's become really popular over the years and really crowded. The food is good here although much pricier than alot of other attractions. Cash only, free to enter and pay per activities. They have corn maze, pony rides, playground, small train and an actual hayrides where you sit on the hays, The haunted Witch hayride is my favorite, you get cookies and also get to enjoy some apple cider and toasted marshmallows at the end of the ride. Overall great experience, but I would probably.come during the weekdays instead when it's less crowded. Great for school trips and birthdays.

If you have not been here yet then you are missing out and make sure you go when they have the food truck festivals great food and drinks and they offer indoor sitting

Great family friendly place. Learn the history of the orchard and grab some great food at the same time.

Fun and exciting place to visit with the family or friends

Family run operation that provides seasonal employment to hundreds of locals. Great food, fun atmosphere, GREAT baked goods! #ilovethatplace

I only gave them a 3 star rating because as the category suggests it is okay, not really a place I liked or a place I disliked. My less than like attitude is based on the fact that I think they are a little overpriced but that could be the nature of the business since most of my fresh produce is bought a roadside stands with honor boxes where some one else has already picked it for me and are only charging about half of what it would cost me to pick my own. I guess the fact that the kids had a good time is worth the extra but just be prepared if God has blessed you with a lot of kids to spend a little more than what you might expect but as many others like to use this expression to justify out of control spending in the political realm I too will use it for this, "It's for the kids".

Great place to take the kids and have fun outside. There are seasonal themed events as well which we particularly like.

Fun hayride and bonfire. Entrance to the place is a little rough, be careful entering and exiting.

I had my son's birthday party here and was disappointed. I wasn't made aware at the time of booking that birthday parties are not private and there are only 2 covered huts in the picnic area for 3 parties and we were 1 of 3 parties that day. The huts are on a "first come, first served" basis so we were shoved into the corner of the picnic area. The hayride was at least 20 minutes late which pushed lunch time for the kids well into 1pm. Disorganized to say the least.

Great Apple Cider and bake goods..Best apples anywhere

Good place for the Fall. Lots of food and stuff to do for the kids. Farm animal feeding,pony rides,face painting and carnival food plus more. Bring money! A little expensive but not much. Good family fun for younger kids

Great family friendly farm. Lots of activities for all seasons.

Heavily over crowded. No person restiction. I get that it's outside but it was still far to many people. Each line went on and on. No social distancing. It was just people on people. We could only take 5 mins before making it back to the car, as did many others.

Found this place randomly one day on Google and so glad we did! Only $12 to pick a quarter carton of peaches and $6 for blueberries (amazing quality and fun to find the gems!) The farm is huge but the tractor rides make traveling between patches super easy. Highly recommend visiting here for a few hours for picking fruit. Also has a nice farmers market and beer garden! There is a clean, members only pool as well that we didn't visit this time but plan to next time. After picking in the heat, a nice dip in the pool would have been awesome. Definitely going back for that!

Fun place for kids & activities for grown-ups also. The roasted corn is the bomb!

Has amazing donuts and you can apple picking apples and Hay riding in the fall

It a good place to spend the day but a bit pricey for what it is

What's not to love? Been coming here forever with my son. Always had fun at the playground when he was little. Loved feeding the animals. Holidays are always fun. Pies are a tradition. My son will be 19 soon and we still show up once in a while.

Beautiful family run orchard. Great farm store and goodies to purchase.

Great place to visit with smaller kids, so they can enjoy the playground available. The store is nice, but a bit overpriced for some things. The apple cider and donuts are great there. They also have a decent size display of different wildlife.

We go here often. They have great garden plants and some pond plants too. Cute seasonal garden and home decor also for sale, always changing. And at this time of year we love to take their hayrides to go fruit picking. This year we did apple, peach and grapes. All of the fruit was amazing and it was a fun family day for us all. Our toddler also loves visiting the deer and other animals that they have on site.

Seems like it would be a fun time but had been turned off by going due to the owner of said place due to her ignorance and fowl mouth language and disrespect and disregard for others never will I take my children there

First time I went there ... I will be returning. Best apple cider I ever had and the apple butter is delicious

First time, won't be the last, lots of fun, great place and atmosphere

My wife and I go every year. A great tradition that we look forward to. Great place for making family memories

Enjoyed my afternoon here, feeding the cute farm animals. And walking around in the stores.

Great food friendly staff. Great place to bring kids

Pies. So many pies. Fall fun, Christmas fun, day off fun. Great market and their homemade treats are incredible... Homemade potato chips, jalapeno poppers, funnel cake, fresh corn on the cob, apple cider donuts. BEST Apple cider you will ever drink.

I bought a hummingbird gift when boxed the cashier broke it's beak.we didn't know til we got home.

Place is awesome. Something for everyone. I will let the crowds you see on a weekend tell the story. Somethings there are a little on the expensive side, but sometimes you just have to say so what.

Crazy crowded on a nice fall day. Disappointed they were out of mums.

Fantastic fresh bread and great long Italian hot frying peppers!

A nice family place. There's a kid section, a general store with awesome baked goods. They also have a huge selection of plants.

Tis the season to be busy! It was super crowded, but there was somebody regulating how many people were allowed in the store, everyone was masked and other covid precautions were inplace. I went for pumpkins and apple cider which there was plenty of stock. Apple cider donuts were a must have as well. There were people directing traffic making it easy to get in and out, and it was an overall great trip! Always a fun fall favorite.

Always a nice place to visit. Even though it rained that day they were willing to exchange our tickets with no hoops to jump thru which is always good customer service.

Linvilla is always a nice place to go, especially with the kids. They have animals to see and feed and pony rides along with a train. In the fall, it's nice to take the hay ride. If you're looking for good pies, baked goods, flowers, toys or even decorations for the house, linvilla is the place to go!

Great place to take the family. Loads to do but pretty pricey

I've been coming here for almost ALL of my LIFE!! As a Child, Parent and then Grandparent !! A MUST GO TO PLACE and Family Tradition!! I LOVE ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING about LINDVILLA!! So Grateful to now share with Family and extended Family & Friends!!

Great place! First time there and if you like baked goods such as pies, cookies and bread you went to the right place. All homemade and the prices are great. Tried a peach praline pie. Fantastic!

Our family loves Linvilla! We always visit the bakery to find exciting treats. Their cut flowers are beautiful and very reasonable.

Really rude and way over priced pick your own fruit. We picked half a box of apples and the price was $27. We told them that we would like to take some away and were told that they would call the police for not paying for the apples we picked, even though we didn't want them. The apples in the market were cheaper than the ones you pick yourself. First and last time going there.

Fresh fruits and vegetables but they're very expensive

A little crowded but still had a great time in the corn maze & autumn moon hayride.

Pretty much year 'round events and picking. Definitely a fun activity in the fall for apples and/or pumpkins or around Christmas for Christmas trees. Can get a little crowded but they manage the crowds pretty well. The also have a nice collection of farms animals to look at and feed.

Have been coming here since I was a child, brought my children and nephews here. Love the Face Painters, very talented. Since they have expanded this place is just great to bring the kids, young and old for a good time.

Lots to do here! Strawberry, blueberry, apple picking. Etc

Great family experience staff was super friendly. Will be going back for the hot chocolate and pastries!

What a fun day and my gosh the baked goods.too much to choose but definitely get the apple cider donuts.friendly staff and just fun fun fun

Mobbed! Inside the store was a fire hazard -- exits were blocked deliberately. Like being in the middle of a mosh pit with a stroller.

Love this place.

****** edit.......

Great place for kids. I love this place but it is becoming too expensive. Go early!

As a lifelong visitor of Linvilla, I always love the events and activities they have to offer. This year, pick your own was just as fun as it's always been. Their system has changed a bit year to year at the register and the rides to and from the picking areas can be confusing or difficult for injured/ those with kids, but overall it usually doesn't ruin the time. Be sure to bring a wagon, stroller or wheels to carry heavy boxes if you choose a 1/2 bushel or more!

It was alright, just seemed a bit dated and could be improved. There was also a TON of bees when I went and I got stung.

Great place for apple picking, Apple Cider, Milk and for children to have fun. They have a lot of things to do (kid's face painting, Hay Rides, playground, Ponny rides, Bakery, Grocery, ..). There is no entrance fee and also free parking I truly reccomend this place.

Make sure you check your receipt if you buy something in the store. They charged me for 24 ears of corn when I only bought two and they charged my friend a pound of asparagus which she didn't have. I can understand the one mistake, but two in a row is sketchy.

Linvilla has always been fun for children and adults trapped with the limitations of suburban outdoor living. But recently the Linvill family decided to sell to Sunoco Logistics a route across their farm to install a pair of pipelines that will transport Marcellus shale gas across the state for export to Europe.
This gas is a highly compressed mix of inflammable and explosive gases that if it leaks has the power of a small nuclear bomb.
Sunoco Logistics has an abominable safety record but has been allowed by state regulators to call itself a public utility when it is neither public nor a utility - there is no public benefit and the pipeline serves no utilitarian purpose except to enrich its owners.
Allowing these pipelines to run through dense residential neighborhoods, adjacent to public schools, under local roads, across suburban properties and community parks is simply unconscionable.
For Linvilla to have succumbed to the bribes Sunoco Logistics has been paying local governments and willing residents is beyond the pale.
For this reason I am boycotting Linvilla and am saddened to have lost this wonderful opportunity to the greed that money compromises some people and most of our local elected representatives.
