Family Farm Fun

Seven days a week from 10am – 5pm. Five minutes North of Milton (9528 Hwy 25 in Halton Hills).

It’s not just for apple picking anymore. Chudleigh’s Apple Farm (of Chudleigh’s pie fame) offers a slew of other activities for families all summer long. I used to be opposed to the idea of putting a price tag on the rural experience and selling it to city parents, but really, where else are you going to get all this?

– A petting zoo with alpacas, deer, goats, peacocks and more
– Tractor-drawn wagon rides
– A large safe & fun playground complex with a sandpit, towers, bridges and slides
– Straw maze
– Face painting and pony rides on weekends
– A restaurant great for farm-fresh summer lunches
– Store where you can take home an apple pie and many other treats
– Picnic area
– Nature walks featuring a teepee

And at $17.50 for a family of four or $5 per person (kids three and under are free) you still come out ahead of lunch at McDonald’s.
