<\/p>\nBeak and Skiff Apple Orchards just got a lot more kid-friendly.<\/p>\n
The Apple Grove Adventure Park, a six-acre lot near the front of the venue, costs Beak and Skiff president Eddie Brennan $1 million and climbing. He said it will be well worth it.<\/p>\n
“Opening up an adventure park has been a huge, huge deal for us over the years,” Brennan said. “We wanted to create a destination where families could come, go apple picking, hang out in the adventure park and then go do all the adult activities.”<\/p>\n
“It owns up to that billboard sign that it had posted up,” said park-goer Tirika Kennon. “Opening day is beautiful.”<\/p>\n
Kennon brought her grandchild and two adult friends with her, and this was her very first time at the orchard.<\/p>\n
“My grandbaby really loved milking the cow,” Kennon said, laughing heartily. “You’d never believe it. That’s the one that made him smile.”<\/p>\n
“It’s really a smorgasbord of everything we’ve ever seen [at other parks],” Brennan said. “Every year we’re going to add new things. Obviously this year is a real test run for us to see what people really gravitate towards.”<\/p>\n

The joy of kids is one of the main reasons Brennan opened up the park, and his own kids have tested it out to great success.<\/p>\n
“By far the last year has been the most fun I’ve ever had here,” Brennan said. “Hopefully when people come here, they feel that and this is such a magical place.”<\/p>\n
Weekend admission to the park costs $20 per person and is free for kids two or younger. Staff said the park will likely be open until early December.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Beak and Skiff Apple Orchards just got a lot more kid-friendly.
