Lyman Orchards is Perfect for family Fun

We love Lyman Orchard. It is the perfect place for fall and the growing season in general. If I stayed any longer, I would have eaten everything is sight. I really love in-season fruits and veggies so I literally salivate while at farms with ripe, fresh goods galore. Lyman Orchard is quite abundant in all things delicious. Good thing I just ate lunch before visiting 🤣. Your kids will enjoy the cider donuts and apple cider. Jewel said it was the best juice she ever had and kept asking for more!

Lyman Orchards has a vast variety of you pick options

If you and the kids like picking fruit, the beautiful orchards have so many varieties of pick your own items. In October you will find apples and pumpkins but keep this farm in mind throughout the rest of the growing season for other fresh and local offerings. For instance, Lyman Orchard is the only orchard where we picked our own peaches!

The Corn Maze is worth the hype

The highlight for us is the corn maze. We had never been to one during the day. This one is perfect with it’s 3 age-based questions of clues and numbered posts. The kids loved climbing the wooden look-out bridges and running under them. They really let out a lot of kid energy here. I adored the inspiring and informative plaques posted throughout the maze. It makes for great, quick reading material while navigating through the maze.

Themes of the maize change year to year. In the past when we visited we saw how healthcare workers helped so much throughout history. We also saw famous quotes from Martin Luther King, Mother Theresa and numerous others that encouraged us to ponder our generosity to fellow mankind. The visit through the corn maize left me feeling optimistic and moved ❤️ I didn’t expect a corn maze to be so profound! 👏🏼😂 Of course this was something the kids had no idea about as they happily raced around the paths but that’s okay as long as they become appreciative and compassionate adults! Lyman Orchard had a Rock themed corn maze in the past as well but, we never got there to see that one first-hand. This year’s theme is The Wizard of Oz which sounds exciting.

Lyman Orchard is more than just orchards

Lyman Orchards is one of the best farms we have ever been to. It has everything on its vast grounds you could want! Throughout the year you can check out their array of special events they offer and plan your visit based on your preferences. We hope you love visiting no matter the season!

The Skinny :

Weather : Lyman Orchards is an outdoor location so I recommend visiting on a comfortable, dry day.
Parking and Admissions : FREE parking
Admissions : It’s FREE to visit Lyman Orchard but for the corn maze it costs adults $11, $6 for ages 4 – 12, and its FREE for children under 3 years. A portion of the cost is donated to various charities.
Location : Lyman Orchid has over 1,100 acres of farm land, a market, various fruit orchards, a corn maze, sunflower maze in August, ice cream, baked goods including cider donuts and a beautiful pond with picnic tables positioned around for relaxing and / or casual eating.
Hours : OPEN SEASONALLY, Monday-Thursday: 9:00AM-6:00PM, Friday-Sunday: 9:00AM-8:00PM. The corn maze is open now until Nov 5th from1pm-5:30pm Monday-Friday and 10am-5:30pm on Weekends and Holidays
Duration : We about spent 2 and a half hours here and it was enjoyable the entire time. I could have stayed longer but it is a far drive back for us.
Tips and Recommendations : Wear sneakers if you intend to walk in the orchard or in the maze as both require a fair amount of walking. Weekdays are pretty quiet. Weekends get much busier due to the fact that select Saturday nights have live music .

If you are looking for another farm to check out try Confreda Farms in Rhode Island. If you want outdoor fall fun for all ages check out Davis Farmland which is one of my personal favorites. For a fall bike path, Blackstone River State Park is great!
