Orange NSW. 12.1°C

The Orange NSW region is the perfect destination for idyllic family time. Give your children treasured memories of playing in glorious parks in piles of autumn leaves, filling baskets with freshly picked juicy cherries or being snuggled in their sleeping bags under the stars.

There are many orchards and berry farms in the region that offer a pick-your-own experience. Though many may find their way to mouths than back to the car, that’s just part of the fun. Orange wineries are also starting to take note and becoming more family-friendly, with some offering a sweet petting zoo experience adjacent to the tasting rooms.

Bring history to life with a stroll down one of the well-preserved streets of the surrounding villages -  feel as though you could be walking down the street on a sunny day in 1900. See a movie at a former travelling picture show, or discover the place where bushrangers made the biggest gold robbery in NSW.

Pack the picnic blanket and head to one of the many tranquil picnic spots. Let the kids burn off some energy at one of the many fantastic play areas around the town, as you enjoy a picnic lunch of the local produce readily available throughout the region. For the adventurous, there are caves and old mines safe for exploring - don’t forget your torch! Camp by the banks of picturesque waterways; grab a fishing line and help the little ones catch their first fish. Toast marshmallows and sleep under the stars. Such simple pleasures will become treasured family memories.

Thornbrook Orchard

Home  -  Things to doFamily Fun

Thornbrook Orchard is a third generation family run orchard which has been growing fruit on the rich volcanic soils of Mt Canobolas since the orchard was established in 1947.

Over the years, the orchard operations have changed and it is now renowned for its "Pick your own cherries". The cherry season, in early summer sees the orchard opened to the public and visitors are welcomed to come and enjoy the experience of picking their own cherries straight from the tree. Once picked the fresh, ripe cherries are packed up ready to be taken home to enjoy with friends and family.

If picking is not for you, don't worry you will not miss out. During the cherry season the farm gate is open to purchase prepacked cherries.

Coaches, tours and school groups are welcome by appointment.
