Fall Family Fun Is What This Minnesota Attraction Is All About

This past Saturday night, the temperatures turned cool. My wife and I sat around a fire with our friends Lee and Michelle and their neighbors talking about the weather and how good it felt.

We were all wearing sweatshirts or hoodies and just enjoying the changing of the season that is in the air. This week, we’ll see and feel overnight temperatures in the 40’s and 50’s indicating that fall is on its way.  

If you’re looking for a fun family activity to celebrate the fall season, check this one out.  

Afton Apple is well into their fall season celebration. They are open each day from 10am to 6pm seven days a week. And there are so much more than just apples. It’s almost time for their pumpkin season, which starts in late September.  They’ll have all the pumpkins you need; for baking pumpkin pies, for carving and those to help you decorate.  

You will even be able to find sweet corn, gourds, squash and other fall favorites.  

One of the big attractions at Afton Apple is their 15-acre corn maze that is now open and will be fun for most members of the family.  

The kids will also enjoy the giant playground, the petting farm and straw mountain along with Johnny Combine, the tire swing corral, the giant swing and giant rocking chair among other attractions.  

Of course, with all this fun, you’ll get hungry. The Cafe ala Apple has tasty treats that will hit the spot. The Afton Apple retail store is open with a ton of baking options and ideas along with a lot more. You can shop without having to pay the admission price to enjoy the rest of the farm. 

The admission price is $7 for everyone 5 and older, and $5 for 4 and under. There is almost guaranteed an endless supply of smiles, laughs and memories to make at Afton Apple.
