09/05-09/27 AppleFest at Eckert's Farm- Millstadt

Celebrate fall at Eckert’s Millstadt Fun Farm during AppleFest, where a full day of family adventure, fresh-picked apples, and unforgettable farm fun awaits! Your admission includes access to one of the region’s favorite fall destinations, packed with exciting attractions, seasonal flavors, and activities for all ages.

Spend the day making memories as you cheer on the famous pig races, watch the thrilling pumpkin cannon show, meet friendly farm animals, and challenge yourself on the 70-foot underground slide. Kids (and kids at heart) will love the combine slide, pedal tractors, carnival rides, playgrounds, and dozens of other farm attractions that make Millstadt a favorite fall tradition.

When you’re ready for a break, explore the Open Air Market filled with your favorite Eckert’s treats and seasonal goodies. Enjoy fresh apple cider, famous cider donuts, home-baked pies, caramel apples, kettle corn, and other fall favorites, or relax with a locally crafted hard cider while taking in the festive atmosphere. Be sure to visit the orchard to pick your own apples and bring home the freshest flavors of the season.

On Saturday evenings, the fun continues after sunset! While some daytime attractions close at dark for guest safety, the farm stays open for our popular Haunted Hayrides and private bonfires. Every paid Fun Farm admission includes one Haunted Hayride, with rides beginning around dark. Looking for an unforgettable group outing? Reserve a private bonfire site online, with each site accommodating up to 25 guests—perfect for families, friends, scout groups, or team gatherings.
