Has p[potential but needs better mgmt. The site is pretty and the orchards are extensive. However, the staff is less than helpful and you find yourself on your own in the orchards, looking for directions or waiting for the "train" to bring you back with your pickings. It is close in to metrowest customers, so that may be a draw;... More

Yesterday Lookout Farm was a lovely and peaceful place with manicured orchards and magnificant grape arbors. Amazing pumpkin patch. More a botanical garden than a tourist spot. Weekday. Senior discount. Great choice for a play date of two little 2 1/2 year old girls. Enough action without being overwhelming. When we saw the banks of cash registers we knew it... More

Rude rude rude. The staff was unhelpful. We called ahead with questions, left a message and got a response. Then upon arrival the staff was less that welcoming. Never mind the expensive fee to get in. Will never return.

The $8.00 train ride per person is average; however, the price of apples is expensive. Although my son had a great time riding the train to the apple orchard and picking apples, the apples are $2.50 per pound so be careful on how full your bag becomes. A bit pricey for apple picking if you ask me. I would suggest... More

Quite expensive. Pay just to get in and then pay for what you pick. Many better options for apple and fruit picking

It's not enough of a differentiated attraction for them to charge what they do. My kids do love the trolley and the ride is beautiful under the arbored pathways, but it's hard to get past what they charge for this experience.

I don't mind paying for entertainment but this really is a rip off. The cost to get in is ridiculous and then the price per pound for apples is even more ridiculous (can pay 1/2 in the grocery store). Way too commercial.

Chaotic, expensive and rigid. There are so many places to pick apples but they have tried to make this place an experience / attraction. Maybe great for some but I will pass.

I'm from Natick and been to the Lookout Farm twice now. My kids love it. They love the tram "train" you take, they love picking apples, they love the playground area, and they love getting some apple cider at the end of the trip. However, I hate that you have to pay a bunch to "get in" and then pay... More

They got rid of all the regular trees. They are now trained like a vineyard. No sightlines and VERY expensive.
