We LOVE picking apples. They are so tasty freshly picked, and apple picking is so fun to do with kids! There are also usually hayrides and farm activities, plus much more.
This guide is sponsored by The Great Pumpkin Trail in Wyoming, MN (just 45 minutes north of the Twin Cities)!
Created by the visionary team behind The Dead End Hayride and Pinehaven Farm, The Great Pumpkin Trail provides an unforgettable journey packed with spooky autumn excitement. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or a family seeking a charming night out, this event offers something unique for everyone.
We visited last year and it was exactly as the pictures show! It was amazing and so worth it.
They’re open October 3rd through November 2nd!
