Educational School & Group Tours at Apple Castle

Our educational group tours help children and adults understand how much care and effort is involved in bringing delicious, healthy food to their table. These tours are available Monday- Friday only. Generally tours begin at 9:30 or 11 am. To best cater to different age groups and abilities we have developed tour options. All tours include:

  • A wagon ride through the orchard, stimulating the senses with the beauty of fruit or
    blossoms on the trees and vegetables in the fields.
  • A coloring book, pencil, and seasonal gift such as a small pumpkin or gourd dependent
    on availability
  • Plus….
 

Tour leaders will select one additional activity based on the groups age and abilities:

  • A demonstration of the washing and sizing process all our apples receive through our giant grading machine, then walk through our giant refrigerator. (Kindergarten+)
  • A condensed demonstration of the washing and sizing process our apples receive, learn the buzz about our favorite orchard friend – the Honeybee, and walk through the giant refrigerator. (1st Grade+)
  • An extended tractor ride with Farmer Tim. (All Ages)
