Where Apple Orchard Playground is located

You'll find Apple Orchard Playground just outside Germantown, in the farm country of Montgomery County, Maryland. The setting is small-town, agricultural, and quiet, the sort of drive that feels like the trip is already part of the experience.

From Germantown center, 22558 Muscadine Drive is a short drive on county roads. Weekend traffic can back up near the entrance on peak fall Saturdays, arriving before 11 a.m. usually skips the wait.

Nearby you'll find the kind of scenery Maryland does well in October, farm stands, rural churches, and roads lined with maples turning red. It's a solid half-day out even without leaving Germantown.

Best Time to Visit
