Tips & Advice

  • Make reservations for the Lakeland Express train rides in advance, especially for early time slots, as they sell out quickly. A 'Standby' line is available but seats are limited.
  • Arrive by 5:00 PM if you plan to pick apples and also experience the Halloween Light Show on the same day, as apple picking concludes at 6:00 PM and the light show train begins at dusk.
  • Consider purchasing a Season Pass for unlimited admission to both Lakeland Orchard & Cidery and Roba Family Farms, which also includes discounts and other perks.
  • While general admission is required for the light show, you can opt to visit the Retail Tent for pre-picked items and cider without needing a full admission pass.
  • Check the operating calendar for specific days and hours, as the light show operates on extended hours on Thursdays, Sundays, Fridays, and Saturdays during the event period.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Reservations highly recommended for train rides.
  • Season Pass includes unlimited admission and discounts.
  • Live music every Friday evening, Saturday, & Sunday.
