A winter's farmer's market, hockey games, bull riding, flea markets just to name a few...but the big event every year is the Olmsted Country Free Fair and it is always a wonderful event to take your family to. You can get up close and personal with different breeds of pigs, cows, sheep, goats, horses...and talk to the people that are involved in raising them....I enjoy this very much. There is always a very competitive talent competition that will entertain and delight you....and let's not forget the corn dogs, lemon-aid and cotton candy.....oh yeah.....

They call many of these county fairs "free fairs" but you have to pay to get in. The money probably is for parking but no matter how you look at it it's not free.

Mixed review for me. I went on a historical tour last year as the haunted tour was full. That was…read morereally good, I learned a lot about the city, history, lots of cool sites that I would have never found on my own. My cousin who lives in town didn't know 1/2 the stuff we learned. We marked our calendars to come back for the haunted tour. Dr. Hawk takes it a bit serious for me, I was asked/told to stop talking twice (I was whispering with my cousin while masked, it was not loud). It is clear that Dr. Hawk expected everyone to sit and listen attentively to her for the full tour, I am an adult and paid for the experience as things come up I think it should be ok to quietly talk to my companion. The cemetery visits were very interesting, some good info/stories and that was fun. I believe that there is something out there but not sure how much in ghosts and some of the ghost hunting equipment and trying to talk to the spirits was a little out there for me, others seemed to enjoy it, and it was only a smaller portion of the tour. The covid practices were very good, hand sanitizer as you enter the trolley, masks covering nose and mouth. Hoped for some more stories and a little less ghost hunting. Entertaining unique night out

Very historical tour loved it. Very informative staff. Thanks guys. Good job. AZ Gregread more

Great place to visit for a family fun adventure. It's really easy to just walk in and start roaming…read morearound. There are wagons and some gravel road/trails that meander the property. If bringing a stroller, I'd suggest a jogging stroller or something with inflatable wheels. There are tons of pumpkins, all different sizes for carving. If you're looking for something more decorative, there are gourds galore! If you want something unique, they have all kinds of bumpy, lumpy textures pumpkins too. Of course there are apples, you can pick your own or grab a bag from the store. I've never had donuts but apparently they're good, I do know the caramel apples and caramel corn are delicious. For activities...take your pick between a small little zoo, I'd say more observation than petting. I saw pigs, bunnies, chickens and goats. There are a couple corn mazes but they aren't free, buy entry at the store cashier. They do have an area for a little bonfire some days and there are trails and a big pile of hay bales to climb around on. Pick your own apples is definitely an activity too! Nice little gem out there in Oronoco!

They do a great job!!! If you like apples, pumpkins, and a great atmosphere, this is the place to…read morego.

Visited this area before but didn't realize…read morethey had a whole beach (only saw the areas where boats would go in) The water was pretty clear considering there was plenty of people there. Also saw some small fish. The sand does have rocks in it, so just be aware. They have showers, restrooms and a place where you can rent gear. The campground seemed clean (just drove by it), and they had a playground for the kiddos. There are trails nearby too but didn't explore them. So happy to revisit this place and will definitely be visiting again!

On the plus side of location, when you need a caffeine pick me up, Caribou is ready and waiting. The museum is on the smaller side. They do cram a lot in but my kids interest was held for about two hours max. I get that you are somewhat limited by space and so they do their best. In comparison to other children's museums we have done, it is tiny. My kids did enjoy themselves for those couple of hours and then we just hung out at the mall to kill a little more time. Don't expect to stay the whole day unless you really commit but if you need something for a couple of hours, this will do.

First time here last week. Stayed overnight cause it was across the street from the Mayo Clinic…read morewhere I had a appointment the following day. Very positive experience. Booked my room on Expedia and got a great deal. Room was clean. Bathroom was clean. Plenty of elevators to get up and down. The basement is called the "Subway " and it is actually a below ground shopping area with retail and professional services. Very cool. Did not have much interaction with staff but those that I talked to were friendly. If I could get a good deal I would definitely stay again.

We stayed at the Kahler Grand and the Kahler Inn and suites…read more The Kahler Grand has improved over the years. It still has its issues.. two rooms for my recent transplant follow up and my son was a kidney donor and they did not have any heat in the room. Lightbulbs missing out of fixtures.. It seems they can get by limited service because they're close to Mayo We were at Mayo Clinic the end of January 2025 for a kidney transplant. We reserved rooms for the family and also our stay was 30 days. When we arrived, the hotel did not have any heat and customers were very upset. We went to Walmart and purchased heating blankets and portable heaters for our room and for our family' Members rooms. It seems the ownership group for the Kahler hotels either doesn't know about these issues or their standards are lower than most. I would never recommend staying at the Kahler Inn and as far as the kahler Grand, I would recommend would make sure that everything is functioning in the room before you pay.
