Big Apple - Colborne, Ontario

Very surprised and impressed on what this place has become. It’s a great stop when travelling out east just off the 401. Plenty of things to do and see along with so many things to shop and eat while you’re there. I’d definitely recommend to stop here and check it ... out one day. Read more

Found this place by chance in June 2024. It was a pleasant find!!! It has alot of activities for the kids... put put, feeding the animals, ping pong and more. There is a farmers market, plenty of food options and the Apple baked goodies are countless. It ... is reasonably priced and has plenty of parking. We are excited to try everything we bought... Apple pie, apple cider, apple coffee cake, apple bread for french toast and more. Worth a stop to see and enjoy the day! You can climb the big apple!!! Read more

Always a great place for a pit stop! Clean restrooms. Plenty of stuff to do. Shop around for food, plenty of sweet treats, desserts and more! Dutch apple pie with custard is the bomb! Im a sucker for beaver tails. Free petting zoo, kids train ride and more! My nephews ... enjoyed it for sure. Plenty of parking. Make sure you stop by when you see the big apple sign 🍎. You cant miss it! Read more

On our drive back to Montreal from Toronto, we made a pit stop at this popular spot, which also serves as a coach tour bus stop. The place was bustling with visitors, but we managed to bring home delicious apple pie - though we wished we'd opted for the larger ... size. It's a great place to pick up souvenirs, and kids will love the entertainment options like the carousel and putting ground/zoo. Food trucks, bazaar-like stores are also available on site. Our only suggestion would be to add more shade to the picnic area, as it can get quite hot during the summer. Nevertheless, this is a great detour to break up the long drive on the 401. Read more

A great attraction on the 401. To begin with, one does not need to go too far off of the highway to get to this place. In fact, it can be seen from the highway itself, including the huge apple that smiles at you as you're passing by. Inside, this place is ... pretty well laid out, with shelves stocked with items that one doesn't expect to see anywhere else. Most of what's available here, be that a food item or a souvenir, seem to have a touch of what this place represents -- the Big Apple. Notable attractions here include a wide variety of apple pies from the bakery, the apple cider from the brewery, and the assortment of candies, to mention only a few. And if one needs to whet one's appetite with a scrumptious meal, the Smokehouse Kitchen is always there. For fun outside, there are the mini golf course, the petting zoo, and the train, amongst others -- and, of course, the huge apple that is the landmark of the place. Most importantly, this is a place where one can get to spend an enjoyable time, either with friends or family. And lastly, this place has ample parking. Read more
