Apple picking is always a fun adventure for families and a great way to spend an afternoon outdoors. Most apple orchards not only offer apple picking, but many activities families can enjoy, such as feeding farm animals, mazes, and shopping. Below is our list of pick-your-own apple orchards within the Northern Illinois area. We suggest contacting the Apple Orchard to confirm hours and  which apples are ripe for picking before you visit. Orchards are listed in alphabetical order and by county. Enjoy!
