I could not recommend Curtis Orchard & Pumpkin Patch more... It has such a lovely aesthetic, more apple trees than one could count, and wonderful cinnamon donuts. I visited Curtis Orchard with my boyfriend on Halloween, and so many community members and college students were there enjoying the environment as well. After picking more apples than we knew what to do with, my boyfriend and I enjoyed some apple donuts as we walked around the Orchard some more. I was so tempted to purchase something from their little store that featured anything from honey jars to Christmas gnomes. Would definitely recommend!

First time visiting. It was VERY busy. No admission fee to enter unless you opt to pick your own pumpkins and apples. Several fun things for our granddaughter to do. She especially enjoyed the big slide,and the pony ride. It only went in a small circle but she liked the experience. Didnt eat anything there so I cant comment on that. We got a couple nice pumpkins which were reasonably priced. We will definately return and have an adult day to be able to experience other activities not easily enjoyed with a little one in tow. I recommend a visit there if youve never gone.

Really awesome place! Would totally recommend.Just wish the trees were a bit more mature/with more fruit, but maybe we just visited on a bad year. Management was able to reimburse us with some already-picked apples though 👍The Flying Monkey Cafe gives more of a truck stop vibe, but the staff was extremely nice and the rest of the place was cute 🍎

Loved it here, the donuts and the apple cider are a must try! It was really good so I’m going back to grab some more ! I also bought three small pumpkins for $3.30 and another one for $2.25. I painted them and it turned out nice :)

Lovely lovely place! Be aware, the lines are super long on the weekends (20 minute wait for the little shop) but the apple fritter and cider donuts make it worth it.

Had a great time with family here. The u-pick experience was fun. Their Apple cider, doughnuts was lip smacking good.

Great family activity. Large pumpkin patch, and fun childrens area. Be sure to take a wagon with you when you go to the pumpkin patch. It is crowded, especially on nice fall weekends. At lunch you can buy a slice of delicious pumpkin pie.

Very colorful venue with several friendly cats you can pet and stores with high quality products. Prices were also quite reasonable.

Such a nice place to make wonderful memories. Had my kids 4th birthday party there and it was amazing. Really appreciate the help they provided and making sure everything was prepared for us when we got there. Even though it rained we still had so much fun. And we werent the only ones! The place is always packed. The best fall fun for families. Hands down.

I love going here but today was just not a good visit i wasnt pitting the blame on anyone but i never went to a place where people work and they be ok with a worker getting high on the job i mean i understand it is legal to get high now but cant that be done at home not at work.... And whats sad is this worker really fast ask all these girls how they were ya i get it he asked them cause they were young and all wearing mini skirts but didnt acknowledge the older people kind of sad....

This is a great place for fall activities in Champaign. They have pick your own apples and pumpkins. The restaurant is a little small but theres plenty of outdoor seating. There are activities for kids, a small petting zoo, and a large corn maze. Their store is large and filled with baked treats and a variety of pantry items like jams, apple butter, salsas, and teas. The bathroom facilities are clean and there are port-a-potties down by the kids activities.

Kittens everywhere! Goats and ponies and chickens and corn mazes and playgrounds and tractors and inflatables! Tasty honey and jam and salsa. Great pumpkins and gourds. Cute decorations. Loads of fun for the whole family up in this place. A must see at least yearly to most locals. Highly recommend an annual visit!

Love their fresh home-baked pies, apple donuts, and apple cider.

Loved it. Pros - apple picking was fun easy, counter store had plenty of food and chochkey options (apple donuts!!!). Cafe was great and good value. Kids play area was cool and good for working off the the donuts. Good close parking. Not too busy. Cons - N/A. Thanks Curtis

Interesting place. Has some entertainment for kids.

The world was normal. Then I went to the apple orchard. Now the world was October. Tremendous vibes.

Love this place a great time and fun for the whole family

Very nice place . We go every year. Pumpkins, apples, and a nice store you can purchase baked good. And apple cider. Fudge. Apple donuts. And apple fritters. Soooo good. Things for the kids to do. Bounce house, feed the goats, putt putt golf. Playground, good time for kids. Check it out if your ever in the area. I believe they have a restaurant too. Not sure of the hours..

Pricey but fun for families with smaller children. They do have the best Apple Cider Doughnuts

My only complaint is that the Cafe is ridiculously overpriced for school cafeteria quality food. Otherwise great family time can be spent here

This is a nice Champaign experience. The apple cider was fresh and delicious and the pumpkins were very cheap. The apple picking was also a great activity. Lots of little activities here as well that would be great for a family with young kids.

A really fun outing for families, especially those with small children. Groves with many varieties of apple trees are the main attraction, supplemented by a Munchkinland playground, pony rides, goats and chickens. Theres a cafe with indoor and outdoor seating and a shop selling cider and other treats. COVID protocols are enforced.

It’s been nearly 20 years since my last visit back to the home I was raised. So much growth that still leaves space to connect with the earth and humans that treat it with the respect it deserves. A celebration of fall and all the bounty it brings.

Even though there was a lot of people, we were able to find parking, being our first time there I asked around for information, the people I spoke to were very friendly and helpful, we bought tickets to pick apples which was a very interesting experience, we also bought a pie. I found some keys someone lost and took them to the office. Hopefully the owner got them.

My favorite pumpkin patch. Has an apple orchard where you can pick apples yourself. A cute cafe to grab lunch and the best fresh apple donuts and cider ever!

Meh. I don’t get the hype. We stopped in our way to chicago because of the reviews of the donuts. We bought a dozen of the apple cider and a bear claw. I could barely taste apple in any of the donuts. The bear claw I ended up throwing away. I’ve had gas station bear claws with more apple. The apple cider donuts were fresh and soft but very little apple flavor and definitely no apple cider flavor. Wasn’t impressed and wouldn’t go back.

Been going here every fall my entire life.

I have enjoyed going to Curtis Orchard since i was a little kid. It is still largely as i remember it being. They have outdoor activities that are the most fun for little kids, and i enjoy their theme of MGMs The Wizard of Oz. Perhaps the reason to go, however, is for the doughnuts and apple cider they sell that they make from scratch. You will find few sweet treats in central Illinois that are more tasty!One thing that i will say is that when we went in 2020, they seemed way busier than i remember them being in the past. Maybe its because we went near peak season or on a weekend, but just keep in mind that you want to get there early— both early in the season and early in the day to avoid the crowds.My one criticism of them i think has more to do with me than with them. Nonetheless, i found the items sold in the store (that werent edible) to be the usual tourist merch, which i dont remember it being that way when we came when i was a little kid. Perhaps age makes the magic fade.

Always love taking the family here for pumpkin picking the gift shop is awesome lots of fun activities all around. Amazing apple fritters and donuts.

Pick apples, pumpkins, plenty of apple & pumpkin products to try. Eat, play games and you can also buy the best honey 🍯 from here. Almost forgot the apple donuts.

Food at the Flying Monkey was great. Prices in the store are high.

Always fun to find unique gifts and delicious apples!

It was Ok. The apple donuts & salt water taffy were great. Found a wonderful place to sit. My youngest son took pictures of the swing to build when he gets home.

Went during the week. Not as much to do plus the you pick fields were bare.

Great place go get apples and pumkins and gift shop great putt putt golf horse rides hay rack rides bounce house things

Lots of people there i did in joy my self Dont get out much any more yes good place for the kids :)

Did only the upick apples. Great experience. The bag could have been a little bigger. Also kids fed goats and chickens. Kids had great fun.

Awesome apple picking orchard. Perfect place to visit for fall activity. Not to expensive either, $6 per person. The apple donuts are insanely good and are made fresh daily. The honey and cider are amazing as well. The shop has tons of locally made goods. There is also a corn maze and pumpkin patch. Truly a local gem.

Amazing place to visit! So many cool things for kids and adults alike!Many fun activities with toys and games for kids!Go into the store for a wide assortment of products that are local and fresh!Too many to list!The donuts are the freshest we have had in a long time!Just stop by and you will be amazed!Plenty of photo ops!Glad we stopped in!

Super great family destination for the fall! Love their apple orchard, & their pumpkin patch (although prices are a bit high). Lots of fun activities for kids & adults alike, & the food from the flying monkey cafe is great!

Amazing wizard of oz theme, tons of play areas, plus apple picking! A great way to spend morning with the grandkids.

Smaller than I remember it being as a kid, but that checks out. Very rustic, homey vibes

They have some lovely fresh apples, and their donuts are amazing😍, Apple cider is on touch !!!

Cute place with some friendly animals. Great place for kids. My favorite part was all the kittens!

Great place for apples, cider, apple donuts, honey and other produce in season. Nice gift shop, too. Upick is available for apples in late summer and fall.

A great experience for fall activities--pumpkin picking, apple picking. The pumpkins are over-priced but youre also supporting a local business. The only con is that its crowded during peak fall weekends.

Crowded and overpriced for a reason. Definitely worth going but going on weekdays will help avoid some pretty intense crowds.

My first time, loved it! The food is good and the store offers quite a bit!

Neat store and orchard.There is no steps to enter and a paved path to the store. Theres wheelchair parking near the door. Theres hills in the area and unpaved paths that might make wheelchair navigation difficult.But overall if you are in a wheel chair and can navigate grass/gravel, it could work and I would highly recommend.

What an amazing Apple Orchard. Such a great fall family tradition! Blessed to have this business in our community!

I had a wonderful time. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Very family friendly environment. Theres a decent amount of activities to do for younger ages. Its a great place for families, friends, and awkward junior high dates.

Lots of fun activities for the family, and amazing donuts. Apple and pumpkin picking are main activities, but many other things to do as well. Restaurant is pretty good with mainly standard American fare. Fun gift shop. Pony rides, giant bouncy pumpkin, corn maze, mini golf, and kids play area are activities for the kids. Expect to spend as much as a carnival.

Its an orchard. Apples and pumpkins. Clean facilities and buildings. Friendly staff. Lots of friendly barn cats. Delicious foods, salsas, and preserves.

First time ever at Curtis orchard and it did not disappoint! It was so much fun!

It looks like lots of activities to do. We only bought some apples. They were kind of expensive.

It is a great place! Our granddaughters loved it!

Very cute place...but only went to the shops😊

As always, a great time was had by all! Thanks again, Curtis, well be back!!

Dont miss out on the fresh apple donuts

Lots of fun. Kids activities are great.

5 stars for the cat that i held the whole time i visited

Cost more than $100 to eat and do the corn maze. 1 adult, 4 kids. Will not be back. The kids didn’t even like the food. Later found out they could have ate free and half the activities were not even open. We will not be back. They just took our money. We said it was our first time. 2 workers just shrugged at us when we asked for guidance on how to get places. Terrible experience. Drove over an hour to get here. Add another $31 for 2 pumpkins to the other price for food and the corn maze.

10/10 apple donuts, or whatever theyre called idk theyre amazing tho

Apple picking and general fun! My kids love it!

Best place to get your pumpkins 🎃

Best donuts ever, plus more!

One of the best places in town for fall activities, for adults and kids. Come for the apple donuts and ciders. Stay away from actually buying pumpkins here...way too expensive. The Flying Monkey Café is also overpriced and not so great quality. It also can get very crowded, so choose time wisely, preferably not on the weekend. Another pro is the fact that it’s in town (Champaign).

They have so much to offer! The apple cider is so good, their Amish-style fudge is great, and they have these cool elaborate stones and I had to buy them. I didn’t know strawberry and hot chocolate butter existed, and it looked delicious so I had to buy some. The employees were so nice and cheery!

A nice place to spend your weekend at!

Always a nice time had when my family goes here!! Love that we can goof off with the photo backdrops!

I look forward to coming here every year! I had an amazing time finding and picking our own pumpkin. The cider drinks and donuts are amazing. I would recommend everyone to try! They have a place to dine in. Social distancing guidelines are in place. There is plenty of space for parking.

We always love visiting Curtis Apple Orchard. Its our yearly tradition but this is the first year we went apple picking. $7 to fill your bag and the experience of picking fresh apples right from the trees. The kids loved it and wished they could pick more. It was a beautiful day and the apples are delicious! Definitely have something on store bought.

Fun time great donuts and pies

Orchard was fun. Ponies are only on weekends. Corn maze was nice. Rope maze is a bust. The goats are sweet and the cats are cute. The shop was nice and we got some super sweet little magnet keepsakes. Apple Cider Slushy was yummy but watch for the sugar high. Like- for real Sugar High 👀Pricey- but not worse than expected.Check out the giant Native American statue! Hes in such good condition! Thank you Curtis for taking care of him. 🍎❤️

I love Curtis Orchard!! I actually worked there for a few seasons as a cashier. I really enjoyed the work environment. The family that owns the patch are very nice people, & I love to support them. I highly recommend the black bean salsa that they sell here.

Worth price for the experience. Staff has always been good. They changed owners, still in family hands, and made some changes. Further changes have been made due to C19, but they still have pick your own pumpkin, apples, and more. Doughnuts can be bought warm, and apple slushies are sold cold. This place is popular and most people wear masks. Reserving food has always been an option, and they are well equipment for pickup, and have specific parking parking for pick up and disability. Family friendly. Expect crowds, fresh food, and fast service. Items from the store changes by season. Check their website for updates.

Fun place!

I visited Curtis orchard & pumpkin patch in Champaign Illinois for the first time today and I hade a wonderful experience. Not only the local seasonal products they had were fresh and tasting, they also have really beautiful little place where kids or even adults could pet animals or feed them . They also had wonderful place where you can take creative pictures and such . Overall I had a wonderful experience going to the Curtis orchard and pumpkin patch today . I totally recommend checking out this place before winter starts 🥶.

First time going here. Brought two grandbabies and they loved it.. if i could say anything negative it would be about the long lines.. cant wait to return.

Apple 🍩Apple Cider 🥤☕️Cake 🍰🍫🍿🥜🥮🍓🍏🍎🍇

Best place! Get the Cherry butter! Get it by the case. And go early for doughnuts

Amazing family fun❤

If you order from the bakery have a back up plan!!! We placed an phone order on Friday to pick a pie up after 12:00 the next day for a birthday.Arrived around 1:30 to pick up the pie. I was first told they did not have my order. Then told they did, but the baker had a family emergency.I understand but I never even got a call to say they could not make the pie. Things happen but it is poor business to not call costumers to let them know!!! So I made a trip out for nothing!!

So much fun and so many people

Too busy to really enjoy

Love this place, we come every year, a lot of fun for the family!

Nice place if you are going as an adult to shop or walk around. If you are taking kids plan to spend a good chunk of money. Every kid activity took 3 to 5 tokens to do. Tokens cost basically $1 each.

Curtis Orchard is my favorite place to go during fall, and has been since I was a little kid. Theres something there for everyone, from the animals to the corn maze to the gift shop (my personal favorite). The atmosphere is lovely, and if you havent had their sugar donuts and apple cider yet, youre missing out on a small bit of heaven.

Apples were good.

Great place. Family funKids can run around. Love the red rider wagons! Pull your kids around. Send the day there

Very nice place. One small negative note: admission to apple picking is on a per person admission fee. With a family of four you have to spend $28 minimum, which is too much. It should be possible to just purchase based on quantity picked.

Nice set up, more commercial than last time I visited, good quality produce

We came here with our family that was in town visiting and we all had a great time! We went out to the pumpkin patch and came back with great pumpkins to carve. They have little red wagons to use so you dont have to carry the pumpkins the whole way, and they also have nice pre-picked pumpkins at the front if you dont want to walk all the way out to get one yourself. We didnt make it out to the orchard to pick apples, but that was an option as well. You just pay admission and get a bag to fill up. They have a kids play area, a Cafe, and a store as well. Their apple donuts and cider are AMAZING. Ive had them from other places in the area but these are my favorite. They also have local honey, bags of apples you can buy, and all kinds of trinkets, mugs, tea, decorations, etc. Something for everyone. I would definitely recommend!!

A family tradition for pumpkins for years.

Great little place. Cute goats and quiet chickens. Nice selection of apple and pumpkin related items. The cinnamon sugar coated apple donuts are great and the apple cider slushi fresh and cold with a hint of cider. Definitely a must go

It was ok.. i wasnt that impressed

Its a great place to spend a nice fall day. Close to the C-U area. All sorts of stuff to look at in the store. You can pick apples or pumpkins. Will be going again.

Had a great day

Best apple cider around.!! Lots to do when.its fully opened.

I loved the Flying Monkey Cafe! Wonderful food! Their gift shoppe was out of this world! So many great things to purchase! Great prices! Friendly people to serve you! I cant say enough good things about them! Definitely a place you should visit !
