You definitely have to call around to find a U-pick place that is more about the picking and the product than the "extras". I live in SE Pennsylvania, outside of Philly and took my kids last weekend to a U-pick place in Langhorne PA. We had a great afternoon in the beautiful fall weather, paid only $0.49 per pound for the apples and got a free hay ride up and back to the pumpkin patch. Pumpkins were also reasonably priced. It was a great deal all around. We had called another local place that we had visited in the past. They were charging $0.99 per pound and everything like hay ride, corn maze etc. was an extra charge. Just like for everything else, it pays (or saves $$) to shop around. Just be willing to make some calls and ask questions.
