There's no entry fee. There are plenty of areas staged for cute fall photos and a playground area for kiddos with a sandbox. For minimal fees, they offer: apple picking, train rides, and informational tractor rides that provide information about the farm's establishment. There's also a store on site with all sorts of canned goods and tasty baked apple treats. The ambiance was so lovely- relaxed without crowds of people, plenty of parking and beautiful color-changing leaves to appreciate. We enjoyed our visit to Sunrise River and are looking forward to it being an annual family tradition.

They also have bags already prepared if you don't want to pick your own. They have yard games, hayrides but my favorite is the big barn where you can pet the animals. They had donkeys, sheep, baby kittens and bunnies. The store has caramel apples, tons of different homemade jams and salsas, apple cider donuts and other baked goods! They even had life music when I went this past weekend. Parking is super easy. The apple orchard is open Sept-Oct 10am-6pm

A Wholesome Fall Outing That'll Make You Feel Like You Just Won the Pumpkin Super Bowl…read more If you're looking for a place that's got more heart than hype, this little gem is your ticket to autumnal joy. It's low-key, no-frills, and exactly the kind of spot with a "a vibe." You can meander through pumpkin fields like you're starring in your own feel-good movie, and the corn maze? Oh, it's a delightful hour-long wander that feels less like getting lost and more like finding your inner peace. The owner-operator is the real MVP--kind, knowledgeable, and clearly someone who knows their gourds from their grain. You'll feel welcomed, not upsold. And the prices? Let's just say they're friendlier than a golden retriever at a tailgate. Cost Breakdown (approx.): 9 pumpkins (including 3 specialty stunners) 3 adult + 1 child corn maze entries Total: $52 That's a steal, folks and kind of rare Bonus Points: Not crowded during MEA (Minnesota's fall break) Plenty of parking A few charming photo ops--perfect for capturing memories or just proving to your group chat that you do, in fact, leave the house.

All were very good, but fairly dry. A beautiful newly renovated old barn has been turned into this new attraction here.

I was so appreciative and honestly wasn't expecting to get it back! We'll definitely be coming back once the pumpkin patch is open. Such a great experience and even better customer service!

Parking was free and easy. Once you get to the entrance gate, you'll be greeted by staff to show your admission ticket or buy tickets. It's reasonable priced. I purchased the admission with ride and getting a sunflower option. Service was fast and friendly. There's a station near the front to line up for the hay ride which approximately runs every 15-20 minutes. But my friends and I decided to explore other stations before doing the hay ride. There were mini houses and mini log cabin displays to check out. There was a mini kart race track that adults and kids can actually grab a kart and peddle around the track. That was a fun experience! There's also a okay ground that both kids and adults can play Through the courses.. Once we got through the stations, we headed back to the entrance to wait for the hayride. The hayride would bring us way back into the fields where you can see them growing peppers, sunflowers and pumpkins. We were dropped off into the sunflower fields to browse, take pics and then eventually able to pick a sunflower or flowers form the fields at the end per the packages we laid for. I had to leave early so I was t able to cut one for myself. But would love to come back another time to experience it again haha.
