Soergel's is a very nostalgic experience for me being that my parents would bring me here at least once a week when I was younger. It's still very family oriented and any time I have made a return visit I see lots of little kids running around playing on the pirate ship playground or petting the animals at the small petting zoo. When I was younger, the highlight was the ginormous pot belly pigs, and although the one from my generation has since gone to piggy heaven, I believe they have new ones slopping around.
Like Trax in the South Hills, there is a fall festival every year that includes hay rides to the pumpkin patch. They also have unique events like farm to fork dinners, which I know are not necessarily inexpensive but they are well worth it (and bonus- in the past Wiggle Whiskey) has provided the drinks! In addition to a wine shop, Arsenal Cider now has an outpost here so those in the North Hills don't have to cross a river to get their cider growler on!
They have a ton of gluten- free and allergen-free products featured in "Naturally Soergel's". They have a "pick your own" season for both strawberries and blueberries (highly recommended for a cheap but fun date!). There's a gift barn on site as well that has some interesting knick knacks for sale. I also personally endorse the apple cider here- SO SO yummy! Lastly, my mom would be so disappointed if I didn't plug her favorite feature of Soergel's- on Mondays, if you're 55 or older, you get a 10% discount off any purchase! you can definitely spend a couple hours roaming around here, especially with kids, and this is always a fun place to stop come pumpkin season!
