Apple Jack Orchards

Quick run down- general tix are $10, with discounts for seniors. You can get a $20 adventure ticket for access to activities, but keep in mind it's really geared towards younger kids.-once past the entrance we stopped by a store to purchase apple picking bags, but were told that with admission came with a 1/4 peck bag. Not sure if that was the deal for the day or if it's always the case. To be honest the bag was more than enough; it held about 10 apples. -i don't know if it was the time of the season, or because of the warm weather we've been getting, but there weren't a lot of apples to pick. There were more on the ground than trees.-although there was a cart near the entrance featuring pumpkins for sale, near the Sweet 16 apples was a patch of free pumpkins and other gourds. Albeit the ones left were small, they were zero dollars. Bring a wagon and save your money.-besides the porta-potties near the entrance, I didn't see any bathrooms throughout the area. Keep that in mind before venturing too far in.That said, it was an okay time for us, but I bet a grand time for the little kids given all the activities.

Overall this place seems like a great place to bring small children- and it's mainly geared for kids throughout! That being said, if you are an adult and won't be participating in any children's activities it's hardly worth the exorbitant entry fee to enter. We only wanted to do the corn maze, walk through the sunflowers, and buy some donuts on this trip... unfortunately you have to pay $20 to do that, but only $10 to do everything but the maze and apple cannon. We really wish there had been another option since we didn't take the hayride, use the kids jungle gym, or giant slide also geared for children. The prices in the bakery were also on the higher side ($10 for an apple dumpling that you have to make your own sauce for at home), and there were no donuts in the afternoon (one of the two reasons we chose this orchard). It was very disappointing and won't be on our list to visit again. The parking at this apple orchard wasn't great and there wasn't a lot of space. Maybe with kids it would be worth the trip, but not so much for a group of adults.

I'm sad to say I was very disappointed by this place. The biggest issue: THE PRICES! $15/ person just to enter, and that applies to anyone over age 1! Also, they charge $4.50 for a pound of apples. I want to support local and get fresh apples but come on! I did enjoy that there were a lot of activities, but some were sort of mediocre. For example, the petting zoo only had 3 goats and 1 chicken, and although the map advertised pony rides they didn't actually have ponies. Don't recommend and I will not bring my family back either.

It's fall! If you love finding reasons to wander around outside, this is one of the best. We found this orchard one year while googling new places to pick apples and gave it a chance. This is an annual visit now for is. The apples are delicious, we love grabbing our pumpkins for Halloween here and the little barn shop is full of goodies. Both house wares, cute cold weather gear and delicious jams, jellies and butters. If you want a snack while you're there, you will have quite the selection of both apple and non apple sweet treats. I did enjoy a cold cider while picking apples. And it was fantastic. As an adult, the only feedback i would give is the cost to just get into the orchard. I don't have kids so the $10 admission fee literally covers only walking the orchard and pumpkin patch. The other items it covers really are just for kids. To do the corn maze you have to buy the $15 ticket. I am more than happy to pay and support local, but I'm going to have to pay for the apples I pick anyway so I would think a $5 cover for just the orchard would make more sense and maybe $10 for the maze. The add ins they usually have (face painting, temp tattoos etc) are great but still meant for kids and not so much big kids. I will of course continue to visit but would like to have a little more lower cost options for those not doing the kiddie games.

We wanted to go on an apple orchard date and decided on Apple Jack Orchards in Delano, MN. Located about half an hour outside of Minneapolis, Apple Jack offers fall fun for all ages. There is a $10 admission fee. Once you have a wristband, you are able to access the following activities: apple trees for prime apple-picking, a corn maze, a corn pit, play area for children, low ropes course, and jumping pillow. If you plan to partake in the U-pick apples option, apples are $4.50 per pound. Apple Jack also has a bakery, cafe, apple market, and gift shop which you do not need to get a wristband to visit.There were honey crisp and sweet tango apples available during our trip. It was so fun going through the rows of apples and finding juicy little treasures! We really liked the corn maze and corn pit too - we got to feel like kids again! So much to explore here! I will say the one thing that bothered us were the signs directing us to parking. One large sign pointed in one direction, and the other sign pointed in a different direction, so it was very confusing determining where we could park. We stopped to ask an employee who was at the admission stand about the parking situation, and she rudely told us how we couldn't park there and had to go across the road. Apple Jack needs to be more clear about their signage and make sure it's consistent on both sides of the road, so folks coming from out of town know where to go.

Apple Jacks is another good option for families looking to enjoy the fall season. Admission: $15 for all access, kids will want this level of access for activities$10 for select access, fine for adults not looking to participateSeemed more expensive than other orchards, hence the 4 star ratingActivities: Corn pile, hay rides, swings, jumping sack, apple picking, petting zoo, corn maze, apple launching, and more! Food: Decent prices. $7 for mac and cheese, $3.50 for cider, $6.50 for a hot dog and chips. I found it to all be pretty good. The fresh apples were incredible! Great spot for kiddos, otherwise adults may find this overpriced and want to avoid the crowds.

So many fun things to do here and they even have some cute goats and chickens! I love that you can buy stuff to feed them from a vending machine. The staff is also pretty friendly. I highly recommend looking at all the pictures to see what fun things they have to do. I will be back here again soon

Going on a Monday not such a good idea. So, no fresh donuts etc? Made the drive and very disappointing. Sorry not going back.

Fun fall day! This place has a ton to do for kids. We just got some pumpkin spice mini donuts, visited all the cute animals, walked through the orchards, and picked some pumpkins to bring home! Service was very friendly and able to answer our questions.

I think it is ridiculous to charge $10 to go pick apples, and then the cost of apples on top of that. I had no interest in the various other activities, I just wanted to pick apples. Ended up spending $35 for a very small bag of apples.They also have a shop for premade products, and I chose the Apple Crisp. It should be labeled crisp with a wee bit of apple. Very disappointing.I have brought my kids here when they were small, and we came now that they are adults, and we were very disappointed. This is my last trip. There are other excellent options.
