Where to Take Kids Apple Picking in Greater Lansing

By Amy Romback, Publisher and Editor of Macaroni Kid East Lansing-Okemos-Haslett September 10, 2020


Do you feel that crispness in the air? Have you noticed the leaves are starting to change color?  I personally love sweatshirts, cool walks, hot coffee and all of our favorite Fall traditions!

One of the best Fall activities in my book is apple picking. There's nothing that says fall like that first bite from a crisp and juicy apple just picked from the orchard.

Here's our list of local apple picking orchards near East Lansing, Okemos and Haslett. Which one is your favorite? We'd love for you to share you experience with us! Tag us on Facebook and Instagram

Please note: I've listed as much information here as I could find on hours and prices. But it's always a good idea to check with the farm before heading out, especially because of the pandemic.  Many pick-your-own apple farms sometimes have unpredictable crop yields and changes to their schedule! It's also a good idea to take cash, as some farms don't accept credit cards.
