Group of 10 went out here yesterday. Kids were 1 1/2 years to 9 years old. Plus adults. They have a little something for everything. Train ride is good. Pumpkin patch was great. Jumping pillow, slide, apple sling shot, pedal go carts were all a hit with the kids. Petting area was fun too. Great place to spend a day in the Fall.

Visited on a Saturday for my grandson's first birthday party and it was a ton of fun. Our group included children from one to eight and everyone enjoyed the day. Lots of animals including horses, goats, sheep, pigs, turkeys. The pig/goat races were entertaining, and petting zoo a big hit with the kiddos.

I love everything about this place and it's great for ALL ages. The food is great. Tons of fun things to do. We tried the corn maze, which was challenging. We went for a company sponsored trip this time, which was a great idea. We had an allocated area to gather, which was blocked off for parties. We will surely go again this year.

Center Grove Orchard in Cambridge, IA is a fun place for all ages. Fire pits with hostesses are available to rent for parties - grill hot dogs, smores, and play games. I know in the off season they have craft night, ladies night, Breakfast with Santa, and many other events. Every season there have been new improvements made. I have been attending since they opened.
