Booked to see Santa Claus and it was an amazing experience. Best Santa ever and his helper was just as incredible. They have amazing baked goods as well as a dove gift store. I'd highly recommend this establishment and will certainly be returning.

Great Canadian experience

Hands down the best Santa! So kind and took his time with our timid 3 yr old. We booked our “train” tickets to see Santa and also bought our tree. Always a great experience, fairly priced, and we left with fresh and delicious apple fritters.

Apple fritters are the best! Staff are amazing as well. Keep it up.

Love this place! Great family run business with amazing yummy products. They put their heart and soul into this place and it shows. I have been going here for years and hope for many more!

I visited Apple Land yesterday with my family for the 2025 Santa Visit. I was going solely on recommendation and was not sure what to expect. We only had 2 mall Santa experiences prior as my daughter is 2.

From the moment you check in, you just feel that warm Christmas feeling. The staff were all extremely friendly, and full of holiday cheer. The check in process is quick and simple.

There are places to sit and take pictures while you wait for the train. The conductor of the train is extremely friendly, and gets the kids excited! The drive to Santa’s village is quick, woodsy, and decorated as you approach! It is perfect!

Once you arrive to Santa’s village there are lots of places to take pictures and keep the kids entertained while they wait their turn. The benches and warm fire make it warm, comfy, and add to the magic!

Now the most important part of a Santa visit, Santa. Santa and his elf are amazing. The elf quickly takes your phone and starts taking pictures immediately. Your visit is not rushed. Santa talks to not just the child, but the family. He jokes, and creates an entire experience! His elf is amazing at getting the candid photos, getting children to smile, and getting photos from all angles and making sure everyone is in them. I honestly still cannot stop thinking about how amazing the two of them did.

This small family run business got it right. They made an entire experience for children, and their parents. That is amazing from beginning to end. You do not feel rushed, or like just another customer. You truly just get to be in that moment, creating memories with your child. They will make sure to capture them, so you are not on the sidelines. And with all the photos taken you know you will at least get a few where everyone is looking!

Once we were done, we headed into the store to look around. The staff were handing out samples, which was a fantastic idea! We bought one of everything we sampled! Ok, I lied, we bought 3 dips not one🤣

If you have not taken your child to see Santa yet, I highly suggest you check out Apple Land. If you have seen Samara elsewhere, but had a bad experience. I highly suggest you consider taking them here for a second visit. I know that I will no longer be going anywhere else with my daughter.

Apple Land staff. Thank you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this experience so special for my daughter. And for us as parents, as well as her grandparents who joined. Don’t change a thing! You are doing amazing!

I love it !! A good activity to do in family

Good spot for a family outing! We saw some cute farm animals, a funny/annoying/slightly broken electric chicken show, wandered through a corn maze, and picked our own pumpkin. Oh, and this jumping pillow thing. My 7-year-old had a great time.

The only downside for me was the price — it ended up being about $67 for two adults and one child, plus $10 for the pumpkin. For a couple hours of entertaining a 7 year old, that felt a little steep. The pricing was hard to find online, and what I found was misleading or wrong, which made it so surprising.

That said, it’s a unique experience and you can tell they put a lot of work into it. Just wish there was some kind of adult discount to make it a bit easier on families.

Good place to go with friends or family! They have all kinds of apples. The sparking apple cider that they are selling tastes so good! And price for the drinks are only 7.99 cad each.
