It cost $20 to park our vehicle. $8.00 per person to get into the place. Carnival food that is…read moreway over priced with small portions! No place to sit, even for a few minutes. Rides are expensive! Oh yeah! Looking at the livestock in the hot barns was just thrilling. Got a great hunk of beeswax for $15. A lemonade was $9 but oh yeah got to keep a plastic sippy container that I ended up throwing in the trash. Ten ($10) dollars for a funnel cake, could have bought a chocolate layer cake on the outside! I feel sorry for families of 4 or 6 that got fleeced patronizing this event. Money doesn't grow on trees these days. Next year , I might think of many more interesting and far less costly ways to spend money and have fun... This ain't it people!

If you're willing to drive a bit out of the city of Chicago, then this place is 100% worth it! I…read morehad no idea County Line Orchard was SO big. It is very organized. You pay for your apples/bag ahead of time and then you can pick them by yourself - just a short walk or hayride away. They had so many different varieties. It was so fun to wander the aisles and find the best apples. After picking, we snagged a ton of goodies from their large market - soup mixes, apple crisp mix, and pickled veggies. They aren't dog friendly, so keep your furry friends at home.

We went back at the end of the season last fall. We were interested in picking apples, but there…read morewas a $10 minimum to purchase access to the orchards - per person. If we could have just paid for one small bag or just based on the weight we picked, we would have done it. But we honestly just didn't need $20 worth of apples, so it didn't seem worth it. We ended up just grabbing some food there - their delicious donuts and the GOAT Float, which was amazing!

I came here for a magic show with a group of friends on a Friday. Overall, good facility! There's a…read moresmall parking lot for patrons nearby, which was nice. Bartenders were friendly. Bathrooms were clean. It was cold, but that's typical of buildings in the summer. I'd come back!

When you walk in there is a bar and some tables but through the double doors, you'll find a 2nd bar with a speakeasy feel. When we checked in, we were assigned our tables. We ordered drinks before hand and the drinks were brought to our tables. We also ordered the pimento cheese and crackers. We snacked on the crackers most of the show as there was quite a bit of pimento in the bowl. The show was great and was broken into 2 parts. There were a lot of great metaphors along with it being a very interactive show with the crowd. Many of the tricks and magic left us in complete awe. We can't wait to come back and see future shows!

Lots of birds to watch. Thoughtful train garden with working model trains on a huge layout. It told the history of trains in America including laying the first tracks to Civil War and Lincoln's funeral train up to current passenger and freight trains. Every detail was perfect from a Bald Eagle in the "mountains " to the Golden Spike where East met West. Many bridges added to the thorough details! A walk to another area included the "Adventure" garden witch was more like a farm garden. It included chickens, goats, rabbits and turkeys as well as vegetables in raised beds. Further along under the canopy of tall trees was a new Music Garden with "instruments " that mimicked the sounds of nature. This visit did not have time to include everything this arboretum had to offer -- so we will definitely be back!!!

Since it was donated to PNW, this place has gone downhill big time. I used to bring my two little…read moresons who are in High school now and it used to be our magic outing each time. Now, seems like all PNW gets out of this palace is money and puts nothing back into Arboretum. They don't cater towards kids and families and all they do is make money out of weddings, birthday parties, showers and school fundraisers and spend $0 on renovations and maintenance. Disgrace! Here is what you will see now: 1. No animals and that area with the garden for the kids looks poorly maintained. PNW hadn't added any new equipment or additions for the kids since Tall Tree arboretum setup. All the little houses, spider web, wooden maze are all from way back when, from the time it was Tall Tree Arboretum. Purdue hasn't added any new playground and the little houses are dirty with tall grass snd weeds surrounding the whole area. Add some new equipment for the kids and nice play ground. 2. Music Area has missing and broken parts with no sticks to play instruments. Bamboo Sticks were all missing. Pipes are missing. What a disappointment for little kids. If you charge for entrance, at least fix this area so the kids can enjoy their time. Again, add some new instruments. These music instruments were added since Tall Tree Arboretum and nothing new was added since PNW acquired it. Everything is old there. Total disappointment. 3. They charge separate fee for the train room. On top of the general disappointing experience, you have to pay extra for the train experience. They have no shame! I wonder where all this money goes to because they have students volunteering there so they save money on labor too. Put some money back into this place for kids sake. It's embarrassing to see how this magical place turned into ruins.

We arrived around 2pm and it wasn't too busy. Parking was free. The admission price was $30 for adults. Kids 2 and under are free, discount if you purchase online. We thought it was a good value as my son could ride the rides unlimited. He loved the slide and unicorn rides. He was too small for most of them unfortunately. There was a wizard of Oz show and he loved that as well. The food was better than expected. When we left around 4pm there wasn't a wait for any of the rides or picture spots. We will be coming here regularly.

Super inexpensive fun for the whole family!
