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.

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.

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.
