Attractions
At Sky Top, we value quality time! And what better way to spend time with your loved ones than some fall fun at the orchard? We have a variety of attractions and activities to interest all ages.
Playground
At Sky Top we prioritize FUN! And what better way for kids to relax and get their wiggles out than our playground? Kids will enjoy swing sets, slides, a giant sandbox, a playhouse, and apple and pumpkin houses.
Animal Barn
Our animals are part of the family at Sky Top. They live here year-round and in the off-season, many roam the orchard free-range! Pick some grass for the bunnies and chickens or feed our sheep and goats grain from your hands. Keep an eye out for our all-white peacock!
Hayride
Enjoy our scenic orchard
Sit back and relax while you take in the sights of our mountaintop farm. This attraction has been a favorite since Apple Dave welcomed U-pickers onto the orchard.
Cost: $3/ person. Children under 2 are free.
*Wheelchair accessible hayride lift available by request!
Gem Mining
Blast some apples!
Shoot apples across the lake at our farm-themed targets, but be careful not to hit a sheep or goose!
(Don't worry, they stay far away when the cannon is shooting. They do love to snack on the crushed apples after guests leave though)
Cost: $7 for 8 apples
Bee Train
Buzz Buzz!
Our bee train has created a buzz since it flew to the orchard in 2017. Pulled behind the tractor, kids love this ride. Suggested ages 3 and up. Adults wanting to fly are welcome to join, so long as they can fit!
Cost: $4/ per person
