In the past, I’ve usually met up with family in Lansing for an annual apple orchard trip, but this year we’re going to visit a Kalamazoo area farm. In looking for a good place to go, I’ve come across the following two:
*VerHage Orchards. There are some cool activities here, including a zip line, petting zoo, wagon rides, apple train, and a cider mill demonstration. No U-Pick this year due to spring crop damage!
The basics:
VerHage Orchards
8619 West ML Avenue, Kalamazoo 49009
Open 9-7 September through November
Zip line and pony rides $5 each
Apple train, hayride and jumping pumpkin: $2 each
*Gull Meadow Farms. This looks like a great place if your primary concern is family fun activities. They have a lot of great attractions for the kids (giant bouncing pad, slide, corn maze, etc.), as well as a U-Pick option.
The basics:
Gull Meadow Farms
8544 Gull Road, Richland
Open M-F from 9-7, Saturday from 9-6 and Sunday from 10-5
*Activities open on Sat at 10, Sun at 11, and from 4-7 on weekdays
Wagon rides- $1
Corn maze- $5
Pumpkin Lane activities- $6/kids, $4/adults
(Or, you can buy a wristband that allows you to do everything for $7.50)
Keep an eye out for coupons- there’s a coupon link on the page, but nothing is posted there currently.
What’s your favorite orchard in the area??
Tomorrow, Thursday, September 23, will be a full moon, and downtown kzoo restaurants and shops are celebrating with special deals and discounts! Check out all the deals here.
ArtPrize opens tonight at 6 pm, and runs through October 10. This event takes place at various venues around downtown Grand Rapids, and features all sorts of different art projects- from what we consider to be “traditional” art, to performance art, right on down to completely new and different types! Many (possibly all?) of the events are FREE! It looks like a beautiful weekend for walking around Grand Rapids! More info on the ArtPrize Facebook page here.
