    Random bridge on the property

    Wanted to give a 2.5 but that's not an option. I wasn't very impressed. This is the most expensive apple orchard I've ever been to. $10 to get in. $6.50 for a glass of hot cider. And the smaller of the two bags to pick apples was $20!!! We didn't pick any because of this. Other places have a hay ride, this place had one but it was so short! There's a large area for kids to play which is nice but the equipment kids were playing on was very old and needed to be updated. Oh also, in order to get a bad cheeseburger it cost $7. The grounds were large to walk around but we won't ever be back.

    Cute apple orchard with LOTS to do for the whole family. If you go during the week it's free but some attractions aren't available. The apples grown here are delicious! They also grow their own grapes and make their own wine here as well. They have a super cute gift shop. There is lots of parking on property.

    This was my first time going to an apple orchard. I was not impressed. I didn't even buy any apples. The apples were already gathered and sold in stores. The actual apple trees hardly had any apples on them. The lines in stores were so long, making it difficult to buy apples. The petting zoo only had 2 goats. There were only 2 places to eat with 30-40 minute lines. 1 line for burgers, cheeseburgers, hot dogs and the other line for donuts. Considering that there were so many people, I expected that there would be more vendors with a wide food variety. My apple orchard visit was not fulfilled up to my expectations :(

    Had a blast avoiding the crowds and visited on a weekday afternoon. Next year will be sure to look at when the varieties of apples mature because while there were plenty of apples & trees were beautifully pruned (so much so that many had fallen to the ground), there was really only variety to pick from. Beautiful grounds, a very cute gift shop with lots of quality yet affordable items, a variety of food and drinks (although not all available on a weekday), and the forest walk was absolutely stunning. Vineyard also gorgeous to walk through and very kid/family/dog friendly! Eager to go again.

    Great for photo sessions!

    Some of closest friends wanted a 'fall outing' and what better place to go then an apple orchard! After looking online Minnetonka Orchard had everything! A maze, apple picking, a pumpkin patch, petting zoo, apple sling shot (was on the bachelor!), hayrides and basically all fall activities! My main issue with the place is the price, it's expensive! First you have to pay to go in the orchard. I bought apples, we bought lunch. It added up quickly! My other issue is that I didn't know about the 2 entrances until I was struggling to find my friends. There is a map, but it's not the best. If you're going in search of specific apples, I'd talk to someone who works there to make sure you're getting what you want. After picking some we found a whole different section of apples that wasn't picked over at all. On the upside it was fun! We had apple brats which was amazing! The apples were good and did offer samples so we knew what we were buying. The apple cider and apple donuts are fresh and great! There also is a wedding chapel area that is adorable, however! If it was my wedding I'd hate having people that I don't know in my wedding photos and such. There were lots of little kids running around, families, and couples so it was great. There even were some local crafts for sale too! Overall, I enjoyed my time. I'm not sure I'd come back, because of the 'entrance fee'.

    A typical line...it took 45 minutes to get halfway through this before we left.

    We were extremely disappointed with our visit to Minnetonka Orchards. This was our second "Apple Orchard" visit since moving to Minnesota, and it taught us that all orchards are definitely NOT created equal. This orchard is extremely poorly run and operated; most of the workers are high school kids and put little attention into efficiency or cleanliness. Lines for all of the food options are extremely long and barely move; one of us stood in the apple doughnut line for almost 45 minutes and didn't even make it halfway thought. The caramel apple line ran out while I was in it, making that wait a complete waste of time. The workers at the apple bratwurst line were practicing terrible hygiene; rubbing their faces and then using those same (un-gloved) hands to prepare food. Worst of all, nearly all of the apple trees had been picked, meaning there were only a small handful of apples left on trees, most of which were in various stages of rotting. We basically paid just to take the hayride, which sorta fun, but not worth the admission fee or parking hassle by itself. I would DEFINITELY look elsewhere when picking what apple orchard to visit!

    There was more to this place than met the eye upon arrival. We ended up wandering around the paths for hours exploring. The live music was definitely a plus, the apples were expensive but sooooo delicious. While wandering we found various activities like he corn maze, a tire swing, a wedding (which looked lovely!), fun face-in-the-hole photo ops, a tractor tour around the property, and a cute little country store set up with apple tasting. I was not disappointed in this trip at all, even the bathrooms were surprisingly modern and clean. I would definitely visit again!

    A little bit of a confusing layout if you've never been there before (( and the info desk was closed on a busier Sunday )) other than that it was super cute, decently priced in comparison to any other apple orchard, dog friendly, AND being connected to a winery is a nice little bonus for moms and dads :-)

    Not all orchards are created equal. Last year, I visited Pine Tree and discovered that I couldn't pick my own apples, so I investigated a different option this time and landed at Minnetonka Orchards. Entrance admission is $6 on weekends, which grants you access to the orchard, the corn maze and all of the other farm-themed play equipment for kids. There is a lot of open space, which makes the orchard a top-notch picnic spot. I could spend hours here on a beautiful fall day if the bees died down. To pick your own apples, you'll want to head left past the entrance and follow the path or hop on a hayride. Locate the bright yellow "U-Pick" wooden hut, and pick up a plastic bag. It costs $18 for approximately 10lbs of apples, and there are four varieties to choose from, though the trees will indicate that Honeycrisp is a clear favorite. You can pay with cash or credit. There's also a small concession stand labeled "Feed Hut" where you can grab hot dogs, chips, soda and hot or cold cider. I was hoping for cider donuts, apple sundaes or Queen Anne's apples, but no such luck. (Pine Tree one-ups Minnetonka in the snack department.) All in all, Minnetonka Orchards charmed me, and if someone was to literally ask me "How you like them apples?" I'd say "Just fine, thanks!"

    Very broken down tent behind petting zoo, no signs, nothing blocking people from going under, etc.

As October approaches, look for pumpkins and gourds, the opening of the corn maze, and the spooky fun decorations. Now the watermelons, cabbage, cantaloupe (my favorite is the cute little sugar cube), and fall root veggies are abundant. As is sweet corn, pickling cukes, and more. Stop in before they close for the season in November!

    This place is Amazing. My friend & I did a Harry Potter themed photoshoot prior to visiting the…read morefarm so we were already dressed up to match the vibes. Unfortunately the shoot ran a bit later than expected so by time we arrived here we only had about 45 min to see/do as much a we could. The details & decor were so spot on! I loved it. The staff were so friendly and nice. They were also dressed up as well which was cool. I definitely want to go back just to shop & support the market overall! Meant to grab a jar of the spicy pickles & a few other things I saw but by time we got done exploring they were closing everything. The address leads you to the front of the farm but around the corner there's a bigger parking lot (but you should walk around to front so you don't miss anything!). Never heard of this place prior to this year but excited to see what theme they do next! (Or if they do HP again, I'd be cool w/ that too)

The haunted house was pretty nice, just spooky enough to make it fun without being over the top. They have a lot of activities for kids, from the corn maze to the pumpkin patch and farm animals that everyone seemed to enjoy. The donuts and adult drinks in the Country Store were wonderful. They also have a good selection of other snacks and local goodies worth checking out. Mary in the Country Store was great, friendly, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed. My wife and I will definitely be back again, and next time we'll bring our nieces and nephews so they can join in on the fun.

The thing is it's 3 adults & 1 child, paying $80 to get in to watch 1 child play is not worth it imo. Most of the activities are geared towards younger kids. They do have a free area in the common area. There's a smaller sweets store, bar & gift shop/cafe. All of it was pretty underwhelming. The sweet shop hardly had anything but caramel apples and few stuffed animals. It's still pretty early in the season so it's weird to see the space so empty same with the other shop/cafe. Not much going on. The cafe where you order food was odd looking. Like a counter in the back of a warehouse vibes. Floor was messy and just didn't look like somewhere you should eat out off. I got in like to grab a cider flight. There was one person working the bar but it was basic pours. The line stayed consistently busy. By time I got to the front ~15 min of waiting I was told they were out of the cups they needed for the flights so he told me he would flag me when they restocked them. I came back about 10 min later and they were restocking cups and the line was still consistently long. Never was flagged down and ended up waiting another 10 or so minutes in line. When I got to the front they were having issues with the payment system. Just wasn't my luck. I did end up getting my flight, 4 ciders, pretty good but I'm generally over the experience. I also got a cider float w/ a donut. I guess because they were so busy despite the menu saying one thing (that you can choose the cider flavor) they used a basic cider for all of them. It was decent. Overall not a place I would I'd want to adventure that far out for.
