FAMILY-FRIENDLY THINGS TO DO IN COOPERSTOWN
We offer complimentary, self-guided tours of the Mill every day during our operating hours, making it a memorable stop for visitors looking for things to do in Cooperstown. Witness the historic cider-making process in the Learning Center and Cider Gallery, explore the Mill Store Marketplace, and enjoy tastings in the Tasting Room.
Milling around is part of the fun at the Fly Creek Cider Mill and there is no better place to start than by the Millpond. Located just behind the Mill, the pond is where water energy that drives the cider making machinery is held before releasing it through the turbine. It is also home to the Mill's friendly ducks and geese whose antics are entertaining to watch. The new "Quack & Honk" Gemstone Mining Sluice is ready and waiting for you to find your hidden Gems! The wheelchair-accessible boardwalk provides a wonderful place to sit, relax and enjoy a refreshing treat from the restaurant and bakery — all the while taking in the beautiful view.
Children will not want to leave without exploring Tractorland next to the Restaurant & Bakery: a kiddie play area for ages 2 - 6 with a paved little-trike track and a wooden climb-on tractor. Plenty of covered picnic tables are provided for mom and dad to enjoy a food and beverage treat while the young folks work off their energy.
All these tours, attractions, and activities make Fly Creek Cider Mill a fun stop for any Cooperstown-area itinerary. Whether you’re planning a day trip or a relaxed weekend getaway in Central New York, the Mill offers family-friendly activities, local flavor, and plenty to enjoy at your own pace.
