Brought the kids for pumpkin picking and got way more than we thought. This place is very nice, so many activities for the kids, there’s also mini golf the adults can enjoy. No long waits for anything, plenty of bouncing for the kids, slides, game, feeding farm animals, climbable haystack, food, drinks, a shop, ciders, apples, you name it and this place has it. Hope to make this our new go to place with the family every fall!

Had an incredible time at Kelder’s Farm. They have everything you could want and the prices were super reasonable. Even the drive to get there was beautiful with the fall foliage. Had fun on the tractor ride and with the bubble wands. My puppy had a fantastic time too!

My fiancé and I loved it here. We came all the way from Long Island, about 2 and half hour drive and it was worth it. The staff was friendly as the reviews say. It definitely has a little something for everyone but more for the kids I will say, still fun nonetheless. We almost missed their Highland Cows in the petting zoo, but I am so happy we saw them! They even had some more cows that you could see near the apple cannon and paint ball. We spent about NULL from the online tickets to things from their market. The maze was our favorite part. If you do the intermediate maze, I am letting you know now, it is possible to do it in 10-15 mins. We are living proof 😂 have fun!

First time experience. our group drove from about an hour away and were ranging in ages of children from 1-16. There was so much for everyone to enjoy and a large range of activities for all ages. We arrived at around noon, just in time for lunch. They offer a variety of food and snacks and have a tap room and plenty of seating throughout. The burger and beers on tap were delicious and they sold some of the best kettle corn I’ve ever had. We had a blast swimming through the corn barn and watching the candy cannon. Around 4:30 we were exhausted and decided to pack it in without you-pick. Luckily their market was plentiful and our vouchers worked to grab some apples and pumpkins on the way out. The trip was well worth the scenic fall drive and the price of admission. We will definitely be back next year!!! Thank you for the experience Kelder Farm!

The place is nice, Some facilities need better maintenance, such as bathrooms.
My only opinion about the animal section is that not all of the animals in the website photos were there. If it’s a farm you expect to see more cows, horses and not just a couple of donkeys and two calves.
But overall we had a good time, when we went to the apple-picking area with my nieces, the experience was fantastic; then there was the play area we have a good time but the area need maintenance too.
Definitely I will go back to bring my nieces who live in the city (nice experience for them) but I will love the owners maintain the games such as the basketball 🏀 and the chess ♟️
