You’ll find something for everyone at this Burlington orchard, which boasts more than 150 varieties of apples. Kids can take in the expansive views from atop a 2-story treehouse, while adults will want to check out the on-site winery, AeppelTreow.

An orchard with an on-site market, this Mukwonago favorite is most known as being home of The Best Gourmet Apple Pie in America; however that’s not all it has going for it. The fall season brings a lot of fun to the orchard — and it comes in the form of the Autumn Harvest Festival, which takes place every Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. September 12th thru October 25th. Fun for all ages, the festivities include u-pick apples, pony rides, hay rides, a corn maze, and more.

Fall just wouldn’t be complete without one (or a few) of Erickson Orchard’s signature apple cider donuts. In addition to filling up on donuts, fall visitors can peruse the hoards of gourds and other farm fresh goodies that fill the on-site market. Another option is to head out to the orchard’s u-pick field.
