They have a large gift shop....food stand and the pumpkins you pick on the ride do cost though (but were super cheap). Clean and fun place.....we had a lot of fun there last week and spent minimal.
- We went to Eveland Family Farm in Andover last weekend. It is free! We saw lots of varieties of pumpkins, gourds, etc....lots of animals (pigs, goats, miniature horses that you can pet, a couple long-horn steer, chickens/roosters, peacocks, etc..) This place is very clean. They have clean bathrooms and sell snacks. There are free hay rides and a smaller corn maze...perfect for younger kids. The pumpkins and corn cost money, but there was plenty to do that was free. They have huge pumpkins for $15 and the smaller ones are .29 per pound. All 4 of our kids enjoyed a couple hours at this farm. Paula

- *Aamodt's Apple Orchard is free, too. There is no entrance or parking fee, and you can sample all the apples you want for free. The petting zoo is small. There is a hay bale maze which costs $2 per kid last year, not sure about this year. They also offer hay rides, little toddler bike/tractor rides, and wine sampling (some have fees). The best part is that you can walk through the orchard and look at the apple trees. They sell wonderful apple butter and tons of other food/snacks to take home.
- *On highway 10 between Ramsey and Elk River, there is a huge pumpkin patch. We haven't been there this year yet, but in the past, they have had an inflatable pumpkin for the kids to jump in...free! They also have lots of large wagons to pull the kids around while choosing your pumpkin. They have a few places that they have set up to take cute photos of your kids. Free....fun.....right on hwy 10.
*Dehn's family farm is in Dayton. Another free place to visit. Kids can see a variety of animals including lots of cows. There are lots of things to see on the farm and pumpkins are cheap. The family that lives there is very nice and extremely kid-friendly. Free! They have signs off of Dayton River Road and South Diamond Lake Rd.

As you leave, "some" people have been known to pick apples from the apple trees throughout the parking lot (which is allowed) and then throw them at the street signs as they drive home. This might not be legal, so I won't recommend it, but the kids get a huge kick out of it....so I hear!!
