Pick Your Own Apples in the Adelaide Hills during Autumn

**Editors update: 25 April 2024 – APPLE SEASON ENDED FOR 2024

The perfect family friendly activity, go and pick your own apples @Lenswood Pick Your Own Apples in the Adelaide Hills this Autumn.

Enjoy a beautiful day out with the kids and start a memorable family Autumn tradition. Teach the kids about where their food comes from and taste the difference. Plus, apple picking is great for little kids because the apples are grown about 30cm off the ground and up so everyone can reach!

The town of Lenswood is well known around the world for producing some of Australia’s best apples and cherries and @Lenswood apples are not the apples you find in the supermarket – you are missing out if you’ve never eaten an apple straight off the tree whilst walking through an orchard! You will find eight different varieties available at different times throughout the season (some crossing over) – Pink Lady, Rosy Glow, Red Delicious, Gala, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Fuji and Sundowners.

Activities for Kids:

There are all kinds of other fun activities @Lenswood to keep the whole family entertained, including:

Giant outdoor games to play
Vintage tractors to play on
Kids scavenger hunt & info trail
Apple row mini golf
Farm Machinery on display
Sandpit
