About Linvilla Orchards
Linvilla Orchards is one of the last working farms in the Delaware Valley, encompassing more than 300 acres of land devoted to farming, entertainment, education, and recreation. This sprawling family farm includes apple orchards, pumpkinland, a farm market, animals to visit with, and a playground.
The animal area is complete with white-tailed deer, emus, peacocks, goats, sheep and chickens - lots of chickens! Scattered throughout are seed machines where small change gets you a large handful of snacks for the animals. Next to each machine is a hand sanitizer, illustrating the farm's attention to details.
The playground is large and does ask for a small donation, which is reasonable considering everything else is free! Kids will run around for hours on the very large equipment, including several old fire engines. There are several large apple trees that provide shade, and benches are everywhere.
Snacks and drinks are available within the farm market. The bakery has delectable cookies and fantastic pies - be sure to take one home! Picnic tables are also available if you would like to bring your own food stuffs. Restrooms are available across from the playground and within the farm market. Diaper-changing stations are available.
The Hidden Hollow and Knowlton Swim clubs, located on the farm at Linvilla Orchards, are open seasonally from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Hidden Hollow offers a 50-meter pool with three diving boards, a 25-meter lap pool, two slides, and three children's pools. Knowlton offers toddler, intermediate, and 25-meter pools with two sliding boards, as well as boards and platforms for divers. The clubs' other amenities include tennis, volleyball and basketball courts, swings, jungle gyms, picnic areas, swimming lessons, and a hiking trail. Details and club memberships are available at Linvilla's Farm Market.

- my kids and i have fun every year i love the horse rides the food is great. it's fun!!!!
[Submitted by maribel10/30/09 - I recently attended Linvilla for the first time with my daughter on a Saturday when a festival was going on. It was very crowded, but enjoyable. My daughter loved the huge playground and we only paid a small fee of $1 for the playground. The food at the festival was on the expensive side and I can relate to another review on this site it does get the carnival type feel because of the festival. But I did not mind the small fees that were imposed upon us because my daughter had so much fun. The bakery is very good. Also on festival days they have cartoon characters, face painting and other great activities for the kids!
[Submitted by Idoitallforher7/27/08 - Went hoping for an authentic farm feel. What you get instead is a carnival feel. They are doing everything possible to take your money: $6 for a 15-minute hay ride, $1 for the playground, $3 for anyone riding on the train (including parents who are required to go on with kids). They have all these big food booths set up like at a fair. Outrageously expensive gifts. So commercial. The only thing that is worth going for is the market; the pies are great. But you don't need to take the kids for that. Go to Milky Way farm in Chester County/Lionville for an authentic farm experience and a free hayride.
