This place is a really fun place to go. The ambiance is that of an early 1900s farmhouse feel. The staff are knowledgeable on their products and are friendly people.They sell a wide variety of products: apples, jams, pies, ciders, their own wines, honey, short order foods, and other baked goods. The prices are reasonable as well, which is a good thing. They also support the military and give the military a discount.They have an educational center which hosts various classes from honey production to apple growing and everything in between.Kimmel Orchards also has a child play area and different outdoor activities year-round. Check with scheduling for these activities.

We stayed here as harvest host guests for one night. Although we got in super late we slept well. Our kids loved the play area and the food in the store to purchase is a large selection. We bought apple cider, carmel apple cookies, apple donuts, apple rum butter, apple butter, and a 5lb bag of apples.Sad that the u-pick is only open on the weekends and the educational center was not as hands on as I would have hoped.We still enjoyed our time and next time we'll have to come back on a weekend.

Awesome place. Awesome staff. We were there for cherry picking today and absolutely loved it. Cherries were full blown and it was lot of fun picking them up. Took the hay ride that took us round the orchard to understand more and we saw plants like cherries, apples, pears, peaches, grapes, pumpkin. The store was full of items and we bought several of them. There is a play ground for kids too.I only wish there is a guided hayride so it is easy to understand the place a bit more.

Very cool orchard and vineyard which has absolutely delicious drinks, spices and snacks ! They have a great wine tasting area and really good nonalcoholic slushies. I tried the apple one and it's delicious. We always stop here to get spices and BBQ sauces, they last us a while and they are jam packed full of flavor. This place is pretty big, we came just before closing on a Thursday so we missed the restaurant being open sadly.

This is a great stop. They have some unique products for sell; dressings, jams, jellies, wines, apple oatmeal cookies, apple cider and especially apple cake donuts. The grounds provide for some family fun as well; hikes, nature playground, hay ride, and an amazing playground.

The Apple Jack Festival is a great time to visit but I think they're open all year! Get some apple donuts, cider, dutch apple pie, and of course, pick some apples right off the tree! Do the hayrack ride, you can get dropped off (and picked up) in different parts of the orchard.

Our family loves Kimmel Orchard. We visit several times during the year. They have apples, strawberries, cherries, peaches, and more to pick during their respective seasons. In the Fall we love their apple donuts and cider. They also have wine tasting and a small cafe. Our kids love their new apple orchard themed playground. There is also a traditional hay rack ride. It can get very busy on weekends, especially on the Applejack Festival weekend, but it is a great family activity spot.

We come here every year for the Apple Jack festival. It's the perfect place, they have live music, apple doughnuts, ciders, and educational area and place place for kiddos. They do offer more than just apples to pick, they have berries, peaches and pumpkins when in season and a hayrack ride around the whole orchard. Best apples I've ever had!

Very good sized apples to pick! They have a tractor that takes you to the orchard so you don't have to walk as far. You do have to pay to pick the apples, and for the apples. The store has so many unique options to buy such as donuts, cider, wine tasting, salsas, pickles, dipping sauces, etc.

Very neat place to go. Lots of things to do and pick. We stopped off season before the apples were ready. Had a nice time looking aroundVery well cared for

I used to love this place, but they changed so much. I think they took away the experience and fun of picking apples for me, especially charging for “U-Pick admission” just to see their apple trees. They charged too much for their prices, more expensive than Walmart. I personally don’t care much for picking the apples from this place.

I came for pre-picked peaches and it was very simple to get what I needed!! They have a great country style store as well with all kinds of yummy goodies.

My daughter and I drove down on Saturday from Elkhorn NE for the apple jack festival. This was our first stop into Nebraska City. Found it was very pricey. Also had no donuts or cookies.Very disappointed. Can get the same donuts at Hy-Vee for a quarter of the price.

No apples this year. All very disappointing. You must pay to even look at the apples. And huge lines for apple doughnuts and apple cider.

Was in the area and stopped by Kimmel Orchard for the first time in several years. Just missed the apple festival so there wasn't much apple cider left but I got some. As usual it was very good. There is much more here than just apples and apple cider though. There is a large variety of pickled items, jams and jellies, syrups and more. Kimmel is well worth the stop if only to browse the wide variety of items you'll not find anywhere else.NEW: Stopped by during the Apple Jack Festival. Couldn’t figure out what the 100+ people were doing in an unmoving line. Turns out they were waiting for Apple cider donuts. Get the %:)#@ out of here! By all accounts they are to die for.

Great apples and beautiful place to get outside. It’s a huge place, so it never felt crowded out in the orchard. Price was $5 admission plus per-pound charge for your apples. Rows are all labeled. The playground was pretty big and modern. Parking was a bit of a mess with rows of cars facing different directions. Overall, we loved it and have some sweet apples and fun memories with kids!

Great stop for harvest host. Spend the night at the orchard in your RV, then go apple picking in the morning

Beautiful orchard! We visited this past weekend. It was not too busy, staff was friendly. Beautiful grounds and information. Wine tasting inside the shop and lots of local items. The apples are delicious and big pumpkins to choose from. Great photo opportunities as well as playing areas for little ones. Loved how all the landscaping was marked so you could see what each plant was!

We also tried the caramel apple oatmeal cookies which are also delicious and amazing!! Fantastic place to visit with kids. Nice play area for them and seating for you to keep an eye on them. Friendly and polite staff. Go check it out while the weather is nice.

We stopped by Sunday afternoon and really enjoyed the store. Lots of different products and a great atmosphere. The apples we bought are delicious and the hard cider I had was terrific. It is a two hour drive for us, but we will be going back.

Very clean and well kept operation, way to overpriced though. One trip here will be enough for my lifetime!

Great place to get out into the country, from Omaha (30-60 minutes depending on part of town you're driving from), and enjoy the fresh air. Absolutely love their Apple Donuts. Seriously, I don't know what they put in them, but they never disappoint! Excellent wine selection you can sample before buying! Friendly staff, and great selection of locally made foods!

Cute orchard with lots of activities for the kids! The shop has lots of fresh sauces, salsas, syrups, ciders, etc. The lines tend to get long around the middle of the day on weekends, so I recommend going early or after the lunchtime rush.
