Royal Oak Farm Orchard Tours are both fun and educational for young and old alike.  This is a great way to get a history of our orchard and see the whole orchard operation.  These Orchard Tours are slightly different than our School Tours and are designed for those who desire that extra special additional experience while at Royal Oak Farm Orchard!

Starting in late August after 2:00PM* we offer an antique tractor drawn wagon tour of the orchard, weather permitting.  Your tour will include a history of the orchard, stopping to visit our 235 year old oak tree the orchard is named for, learning how our bees are the orchard's best friend, and you will learn about the 22 varieties of apples we have at the orchard.  Cost of the tour is $2.50 and requires a token to board.  On Wednesdays, we offer a Seniors tour only for $2.00. Each day's tour schedule is dependent upon the number of visitors we have to the orchard desiring the tour and the number of school tours and senior tours booked for that day. Call our office at (815) 648-4141, Ext. 4 for tour availability.

On Saturdays and holidays, beginning at 11:00 AM, Royal Oak Farm Orchard will provide the antique tractor drawn tour of the orchard every 2 to 2 1/2 hours or more frequently if required.  The tour times will be announced or posted at the train station throughout the day. Cost of the tour is $2.50 and a token is required to board.
