Eckert's Orchard - Orchard in Versailles - 1396 Pinckard Pike, USA

Love taking the kids here! The orchard has so much to do. Entry is a very fair price. You get access to the corn maze, multiple play and climbing areas, potato sack slides, bikes, animals, pumpkin patches, apples, pig races, and photo areas. You can spend a few hours here easily. We found we could buy things like doughnuts and apple cider in the store for cheaper than the restaurant. The store prices are a bit higher as well, but not so much it s not worth it. They have bakery items, drinks, toys, clothing, jams, and the locally grown fruits or vegetables. The hours are great and they have events for the different holidays.

Truly love this place. For younger families with younger kids, it is perfect way to get them outdoors and let them run & play on the playground. But it's also very appealing to those who are older that want the experience of picking some of the biggest berries, apples, and corn I've ever seen! We visited during the Blackberry festival weekend and it had live music and plenty to see & do for a few hrs of local fun. I do believe if they would just demo a few things like their ciders and/or Apple cider donuts, they would be out of stock! The donuts are amazing! Just do yourself a favor and get some before you leave! Friendly workers in every area with smiles enjoying what they represent. ❤️

It is a fun place to spend a couple of hours during spring/summer time. We went during strawberry time which was nice. It is fun place for kids as well. In another word it is really kid’s friendly. The shop is close to the farm is very nice. I really enjoyed the good variety of stuff they were providing.

This place was affordable and fun! The pumpkins were a little more than I anticipated but overall it was a great time. The BEST cider and donuts around!

Wow so much to do and see! We picked apples and fed the goats. Loved this place! It was our first time visiting this orchard and it won’t be our last. The fall decorations are amazing and it’s a wonderful place to get great Fall pictures.

This is a great way to spend a fun afternoon and not break the bank, at just $7 per child and kids 2 and under are free. Adults are free as well. They have a nice café and a gift shop that has everything from kids toys to homeade jam! The only thing we'd complain about is the fact that almost none of the tractor pedal cars were operational, which disappointed my kids. We'll definitely return here from now on. This was our 1st visit to Eckert's Orchard.

Pricier than other orchards I have been to. Anticipate spending over $70 for a family outing here. Entry to their green space is $12 per person for anyone over two years old. This space offers limited activities like a see-through corn maze (disappointing, especially for early October), a basic slide, a small rope climbing area, and some animals which cost $0.50 cents to feed. There are food trucks and an onsite cafe, both of which come at an additional cost. Around $4 per hotdog. They offer fire pits at night for $25 per spot. They do have large pumpkins! Almost impossible to find smaller ones. You're charged by the pound though for pumpkins and apples you pick. Even tasting ciders in their main store costs $0.25 per sample. The overall impression is that it's more about business than creating cherished family memories. I've lived here for over six years and recall it being different in the past. For a more fulfilling experience, I'd suggest Devines Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch in Harrodsburg. It's a bit of a drive from Lexington, but it’s worth it. The entrance fee there covers food, a fantastic corn maze, fire pits, pumpkins, animals, jumping areas for kids, playgrounds, and other fun activities. They even have a fun apple cannon!

It is a great place to bring your kids. There is enough of fun stuff to do to entertain your kids for at least 3 hours.
