Soergel Orchards Fall Harvest Days & Pumpkin Festival

About this adventure

Perched in Franklin Park near Wexford, Soergel Orchards has been a premier family farm destination in Pittsburgh's North Hills for six generations. Throughout the autumn harvest season and right up to Thanksgiving week, the farm grounds buzz with family-centered activities including tractor-pulled hayrides to the hilltop pumpkin patch, a sprawling apple orchard with dozens of heirloom varieties, warm freshly pressed apple cider donuts, and an expansive farm market filled with Thanksgiving pies. Young children love visiting the friendly farm barnyard animals, navigating the hay bale maze, and participating in seasonal crafts. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: The farm market, bakery courtyard, and greenhouse paths are smoothly paved and gravel-packed. All-terrain or jogging strollers are recommended for the pumpkin patch fields. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Modern, clean indoor restrooms with diaper-changing stations are situated inside the farm market building, along with shaded porch benches. • Age Suitability: Perfect for infants through grandparents. Toddlers adore the small animal petting area and pony rides, while older kids enjoy pumpkin picking. • Sensory Tips: Weekends can get lively around the bakery and cider press. Families looking for a calmer experience will find weekday mornings serene and picturesque.
