Fun place to take the kids in the fall. Admission is reasonable for a morning or afternoon of fun. My kids liked running through the maze and going out to the pumpkin patch. Very kid friendly.

We found it to be a very non-family friendly place. From a sign on the door saying "no strollers", to charging admisison for adults (which only leads to hoards of kids being let in with only 1 adult to supervise them), they certainly don't seem to have their customers interests in mind. I get the distinct feeling that it is all about the money at Emma Krumbee's. The staff was unhelpful, and uncooperative with each other--it seemed like everyone had their specific job and no one wanted to step into someone else's territory....this led us to have to stand in line twice to get food, and still we couldn't order what we wanted. The lady behind the counter spoke so quietly that we couldn't even hear her.
I have 2 young children, and waiting 6-8 minutes each time in line was very difficult.
There are bathroom facilities--they weren't the cleanest, but I've seen worse.
My kids loved riding the train and playing in the pile of hay. Also lots of fun trikes and playground equipment.
The music tent was a nice touch, but there were not enough instruments for kids to play (about 6-7 kids)...or if there were more instruments, they were not visible.
The maze was nice, but there were 2 exits on opposite ends so it was hard to keep track of both children and make sure they didn't get lost in there....I couldn't stand at both ends....would be nice if there was just one entrance/exit.
All in all, we had fun, but the staff really spoiled our visit--they just seemed grumpy and were not happy to be there. There are plenty of other orchards in the area that offer the same things and don't charge for adults or are less money, so I think we will go elsewhere and not do this one again.

Emma Krumbee's is such a fun place to visit in the fall! They have apples and pumpkins to pick. They offer a fun hayride. There is a petting zoo for the children. Kids have a blast! They also sell some already made pie that is delicious! Emma Krumbees can become a yearly tradition that kids look forward to! Ours do anyway!
