Terhune Orchards – a Princeton mainstay – is celebrating the return of Fall Family Fun Weekends, now running every Saturday and Sunday through October. 

For over 40 seasons, Terhune Orchards has been serving up farm-fresh goodies, live music, and barnyard fun to celebrate the start of fall. 

Festival goers can start their day picking apples at their Van Kirk Road Orchard, then take the 2 minute drive to the Cold Soil Road entrance and enjoy the main farm.

Admission to the festival includes access to the barnyard petting zoo, nature trail, flower picking, the Adventure Barn, pedal tractor area, hay bale maze, corn maze, pumpkin picking and painting, and access to the winery, the Barn Door cafe, and country store.

The adventure barn is a standout activity for even the littlest farmers. This season’s “Gee, New Jersey?” theme sends families on a life-sized storybook maze to discover all sorts of wild, weird, and goofy facts about the Garden state.

Local musical talent serenades guests from 12-4pm outside the Barn Door cafe, which features more outdoor seating options to accommodate socially distant spacing. 

The event runs rain or shine from 10am – 5pm. Admission from family members 3yrs and up is $11 online, and $14 at the gate as capacity allows. Tickets are valid for 3 hours after entry.
