Family of four could EASILY blow through $200 here with food and extras. Treats and food and water are expensive - I was a little bummed that for the price ... $2 for a bottle of water !? ...and there wasn't drinking water around somewhere. I'm always a little iffy drinking from the sink in the bathroom. Most the employees there seem super young, but they seemed genuinely nice and helpful for a place with an obnoxious amount of young kids running around. Overall it was just OK for me. It was "treat" for my family as we had relatives from out of town BUT I am not sure I'd be itching to go back anytime soon in today's economy. TLDR; Not a super frugal activity, but it's cute. No cash needed/preferred. No dogs. No water readily available (that I noticed). Free parking. Instagram worthy photo ops for those who want them.

We love Little Hill!…read more In the summer, it's such a great way to start a beautiful summer morning with picking fresh blueberries. Their operation is always very organized and the owners are so friendly. Their farm store is really nice as well because they bring in great stuff from other local farms and local makers so it's nice to get so much in one trip. Just last week, we got frozen berries, beef from a local farm, root veggies and popcorn from their neighboring farm, Little Hill syrups, and locally made tea blends. Way better than going to the grocery store! Thank you Little Hill, keep up the great work!

Fall Harvest Orchard is my family's FAVORITE orchard!…read more We started going to this orchard 5 years ago when I was looking for a nice orchard for the annual outing for the families of the Twin Cities Asian Moms Facebook group. There is a variety of fun activities for kids of different ages and many animals for people to interact with. My two boys LOVE visiting with the baby chicks every year. There are also many great options for photos with friends and family - including a sunflower field. Last but not least, there are many delicious types of apples available for purchase with the option to pick your own. The wristband is a great deal if you would like to take part in several activities - my husband and I both enjoy the Giant slide and the Barn slide. Highly recommend checking out Fall Harvest Orchard for a fun Fall outing!

We've been coming to fall harvest orchard for a few years and it seems to get better each time!…read moreEntrance is free but you can buy wristbands to be able to do more of the activities like the giant slide, large corn pit, mini putt, etc. The wristbands are well worth the price for the little ones in my opinion. They're able to do as many activities as they want and there are SO many to choose from. However, you can have plenty of fun there without the wristband. There is a smaller corn pit, animals to pet and feed, and other free activities to enjoy. There are also plenty of food trucks and spots to grab drinks which makes it ideal to spend a few hours there at least! In addition, they do have some apple trees to pick apples from if that's something you're looking for. It does get VERY busy so I'd recommend heading there pretty early. Looking forward to coming back for many years to come!

I brought a garden knee pad to kneel on while picking, definitely glad I did. They provided boxes and a carrier for them so no need to bring your own container. Price was $3.90 a pound. Berries were abundant and delicious. Can't wait to make some syrup and jam!

Would have given it 5 stars if it hadn't been for the owners grandkid who was literally allowed to run rampant. Everyone was staring as he smashed carts, slammed stuff into the ground, and ran around yelling. The teenage staff laughed and said there was nothing they could do but they agreed it was a problem. I finally asked to speak with the owner (grandma) who didn't seem to take it seriously at all. Customers were shocked and gossiping about it. I've never seen this happen before so I'll go back but if it happens again I won't return.

When the weather is warm at least, there is also a truck selling North Star apple cider donuts.

With a large variety of pumpkins and great prices to match, it is worth the drive to the country to buy your Jack-O-Lantern pumpkin here.

Tomatoes, canned goods, miscellaneous supplies, fresh fruits and veggies.

They give you a basket and have a system to assign you to your own row for picking. Once done, you wait in line to weigh and pay. Lots of berries on the bushes and it's okay to sample as you go! The strawberries were so sweet and delicious - far more flavorful than you buy at the supermarket. This year they charged $3/lb and I saw a lot of full baskets. It is cash or check only so make sure to come prepared. Plenty of parking available. Call ahead to confirm picking hours, as they do sell out. I also recommend following their Facebook page for the latest picking updates. We didn't buy any this time but I did notice that they sell jams and asparagus at their farm stand as well.

It seemed like we were maybe a little late in the season or some real pros must have been through our rows a week or two before us because we weren't finding the huge berries. Although we are thinking if we went back in a couple weeks we might get some of the bigger ones. But for 45 mins of picking on a perfect day and 17lbs of strawberries you can't beat the price of $20.

The parking is free and I highly recommend doing no the cheaper presale tickets or get the online core you go! You get a discount and don't have to wait in line. When you get there, they do have a free program booklet/map. There are apples, honey and pumpkins for purchase and plenty of spots for you to take your fall photos. There is a north and south food area! Highly recommend the roasted corn! There are also classics like kettle corn, beer, alcoholic ciders, mini doughnuts and more! This year they added a BMX bike show and my boys REALLY like that! (Free) The maze is free and takes just under an hour for us to normally complete it. The petting zoo is also free unless you want to feed the animals. Then it's a few bucks for a cup of food. There is a giant slide, little train ride that goes around the grounds,hayride, pumpkin blaster, pony rides, and more that all have a small extra fee to them. I suspect this is why the ratings are lower. There are also large jumping pillows (adults can go on these too), shows, pig races, picture opportunities, small play ground areas, a large tire climbing area, zip line, hay maze, corn pit and more that are free. So plenty to do without having to shell out more money if you do not want to! This is a fall staple in my house! And we enjoy it every year!

If you're frugal family, I can NOT recommend this place at all. Don't get too excited by the…read morepictures and do your research before coming on how much everything cost. You pay 25 plus something dollars per person over 3 yrs to get in the door and a majority of the stuff inside still has an extra charge. That's $100+ for a family of four to just walk into the place!? Did I miss discounted tickets somewhere? - just make sure you digest all of the website so nothing gives your wallet a shock when you get there. BUT, however, if you have the extra expendable income - you should have a okay time and a extra price tags for most extras doesn't faze you for extras - it should be a decent time had by you and your little one's. Note: NO dogs. There is ample parking and you'll need it on the weekend as it for crowded VERY quick. It does have some cute gimmicky things instagram photo moments - that were luckily free. Everything on the grounds likes cash. Make sure you bring plenty of small bills to make vendors happy. It's a meh from me and I'll gamble on somewhere else next time.
