CIDER HILL FAMILY ORCHARD Kansas City Visitors sip on an apple cider slush or an apple cider freeze (an apple cider slush with ice cream) while eating an apple cider donut at the Cider Hill Family Orchard. With a 38-acre orchard containing some 6,000 apple trees, the Kansas City attraction produces a large harvest to enjoy in a variety of treats. But exploring the grounds is also part of the fun as the Apple Wagon transports guests to the middle of the orchards where they can pick their own apples beginning in August. Besides picking apples, families also may spend time in the pumpkin patch, at one of five fishing ponds, or—during the weekends—under the shade trees eating barbecue prepared and served by the owners. The orchard gift shop stocks apple crisp, caramel apples, apple butter, the Cider Hill signature sundae and more; orchard-picked sweet cherries, pears and sweet corn are sold when in season. ciderhillfamilyorchard.com | 913.721.2507
