Took my family (kids 10, 3 1/2 and 2) and we loved it. Been living in MA for many years and never knew there was such a place. Only familiar with the grocery & plant store, didn't realize there was so much more. Actually found out about strawberry picking after I looked online. Would have gone to NH if not for googlesearch. We went on the first day and the berries went fast. Still worth every penny... great experience. Grandparents also came along and although they thought the entrance fee is too much, I still think it's worth it. They do need to maintain the place. This year we wont be renewing our New England Aquarium membership. Instead, we will be doing this. We all fell in love with the beautiful landscape and fun train ride, hay ride, burlap maze, caterpillar ride, etc. I can go on and on about this. Having my son's bday party there with 50++ guests. I expect it to be a blast.

This is the spot to be on Fall.Pick your fruits(Yummy peaches and apples), petting Zoo, amazing playground, ice cream,some lunch options and picnic area and the "Choo-Choo TRain " that takes you through all the picking stations...($!The train runs for Halloween(w/spooky trail,all lighted w/Jack-O-Lanterns and on the Hollidays(lighted w/Holliday Themes!They have a grocery-like-store too.Check on-line to see the pick-up seasons for each fruit!!

This farm has the potential to be a lot of fun for children with the petting zoo and hayride. However with the admission charge at $14 pp and that does not include it could cost a family of 4 almost $100 to go apple picking!!

FYI: This is called Belkin Lookout Farm as they bought it in 2005. Ok, where do I start? I have been wanting to go to Lookout Farm for a few years now because I know a couple of people who have gone. They did not rave about it, they just said they went and liked it, but they couldn’t give a lot of details because their kids were much older now and it was a quite a while ago. I went yesterday, on a weekday at around 11:00am. The benefit of going on a weekday was that you beat the crowds, but that’s about it. This is an orchard that actually charges an entrance fee. For what you ask? Well, just look at the website. It's all a bunch of hype. Like the other reviewer said, it is like the Disneyland of orchards, well, kind of. The cost on a weekday is $8 for all ages (under 2 are free) On the weekends, the price is $14 for an adult and $12 for kids over 2. The reason the entrance fee is less on a weekday is because all of the fun activities for kids are not available! No face painting, no entertainment, no pony rides, no bee observatory, nothing. The kids caterpillar ride was not running either. I found out after looking at the website again that it doesn’t run on occasional Wednesdays. Guess what? We went on a Wednesday. Oh, but there was a train ride, petting zoo, playground, maze and a haystack. Many local farms also have hay stacks, mazes, petting zoos, hayrides and playgrounds for kids as well as seasonal festivals (ex: Wards Berry Farm in Sharon, The Big Apple in Wrentham, Honeypot Hill Orchard in Stow) There are even better playgrounds at any of the local schools in Massachusetts. I can name a dozen farms and nursery’s in Massachusetts that have wonderful playgrounds and petting zoos, and they are free! (Ex: WWI Memorial Park in North Attleboro.) Oh wait, the fruit is $2.50 per pound! Even the fruit shipped in from out of state was at the most $1.50 per pound at the supermarket. You should be paying 98 cents to $1.50 per pound, not $2.50. Although the grounds were beautiful, there seemed to be a lot of garbage in the orchard area that inconsiderate people left from the day before. In addition to that, there were alot of rotten or fallen/dropped apples on the paths that we kept tripping over. For the steep entrance fee, you would think that they would have a clean up crew after the farm closes. There were not many apples either as a lot of trees were picked over. Oh, and let's not forget the Port-A-Potties, great fun with kids. As we were leaving, we decided to take a walk over to the orchards that was near the parking area (we were not supposed to be there) and a truckload of Mexicans drove by. I am guessing that they were illegals and they pick the fruit for this farm. Let’s hope they get paid more than $2 per hour with what Lookout charges customers! The positives are that the train ride was nice, the trees are lower to the ground so it was easy to pick for both adults and kids, the grounds were well maintained and there were lovely grapes growing for decoration. The Asian pears were juicy and delicious. We got away with only spending $16 for me and my husband since our daughter was under 2 and we did not buy any apples. It was a pleasant experience, but I would not go back and spend $100 for a family of 4 for a typical family activity, and neither should you.

Baby animals in a barn for kids to pet. Outdoor animals to watch and pet in the warmer months. Great area for picnics. Nice outdoor playground for the kids. Take a train to pick your own fruit. Ice cream is really good and so is the little farm store.
