I went with my wife and toddler to see the tulips here in May. While the farm and flowers…read morethemselves were quite nice, there were several factors that made this a negative experience. The primary one, that I'll write about here, was very poor line management and a huge lack of clarity. They have "Tickets" and "Wristbands" buying a "ticket" makes you eligible for a "wristband, but they are not the same thing. They had a terrible solution. Where you wait in an insanely long line (literally an hour long) to get a "ticket" then you have to go all the way back to another insanely long line to get a "wristband" in order to get in the hayride that takes you to the flowers (they would not allow people to walk). There was not clear signage which lead to a lot of confusion that really slowed things down. What made things worse is that we were there right at opening time, so we completed the idiotic process properly. But about an hour in the staff realized how bad their idea was, and tried to combine the lines which led to a ton of people being able to budge us, which was really unfortunate and frustrating. I certainly would never visit this place again on a weekend. It was such a poor experience. Maybe going during the week when visitation is not at peak could be feasible.

Went back after a few years. It was a lot busier which is to be expected however they can not…read morehandle how many people are going. There are no signs telling you where to get what. We bought tickets online in advance, but there was no sign for online sales. Then once we finally found the right line there's only one iPad so the guy had to walk away to get it to scan our tickets. Once you get out of the main area (we ended up walking because only two trackers were going and the line was super long) it was good. We liked the lower area but the front was a total mess and took way more time than it needed to. Pretty disappointed. Hopefully they can fix the front area before next season. Also, there were SO many bees.

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!

First time to Little Hill Berry Farm and it was a blast. The stay were so sweet and friendly as…read morewell as helpful. Aaron provided info on how to pick blueberries. The weather was amazing and it was not a bad drive from Minneapolis. Would definitely recommend and will go again!

This is the 3rd year we've cut our own Christmas tree at Nelson's. I grew up next to 2 Christmas…read moretree farms, so this is a special tradition for me. I'm also familiar with Nelson's, my sister used to work there when she was in high school (some time ago). To get a tree - they have both cut your own and precut (on the side of the building) , they also deliver within 30 miles their website says. To cut your own - 1. Go to the main building, get a map, a saw (if you don't have your own), and twine. They will tell you where to go, as does the map. 2. Follow the map to your desired type of tree. 3. Cut away! 4. Kinda tie the tree to some part of your vehicle, and gingerly drive back to the building. 5. Pay, return the map and/or saw, and buy anything else that your heart desires. 6. Someone will help to securely tie your tree to your vehicle if you need it (yes, please!). 7. Drive away! The Nelson people are friendly and helpful - even helping get your vehicle unstuck when driving in the snow (happened to us last year).

We found it. Kind of by accident but we found our new favorite orchard! And let me tell you, its a…read moreDANDY! After visiting another orchard in the area, we were craving some doughnuts which we were not able to get. We happened to notice a sign for Nelson Apple Farm and figured we would stop by and check them out as it was only a few minutes away. As we pulled in we noticed the apple trees, a little area where you can see some animals and a shop with their sign. There were a few people inside. As we walked through their shop we couldn't help but do some shopping. Homemade salsa's, jams and preserves, syrup, and all sorts of goodies. Oh and of course a nice table of apples. Some people had what looked like a tray of State Fair apple doughnuts. We were told that they were not doughnuts, they were apple dandy's. I don't know what an apple dandy is but we ordered some with our purchase. We also had to get a caramel apple as those are some of our favs. Within a few minutes our fresh fried apple dandy's came out. Oh my! This will ruin your craving for an apple doughnut. Light and crispy on the outside. The inside was airy, almost like a popover. But wait, there is a thin slice of apple inside. This adds some freshness and even more flavor. Cinnamon and sugar on top makes this such a tasty treat. We enjoyed these so much we made another trip south a few weeks later. This time we were there earlier and watched as they made the batter and cooked our apple dandy's. So divine! We did get some more apples and goodies but it's those apple dandy's that we were craving. Reading more about Nelson Apple Farm we love that they are family owned. They have been in business for almost 50 years and Veteran owned. Thank you for your service and thank you for those apple dandy's! We have found our new favorite orchard and will be back again soon. If nothing else, just to get more apple dandy's!

I have been to other claw machine establishments, but I was excited to check this one out. I stopped by during the week right after they opened with two coworkers. We were the only ones there and the owner took the time to explain how everything worked. We were all going to buy 10 tokens, but it appears you get a better deal if you buy them together. The claw machines range from figurines to stuffed animals and snacks. If you want, you're able to collect small prizes and trade them up at the end. Fortunately, I don't think we were the best at claw machines, but I was thankful the owner saw which games we were playing and moved to some of the items around. He also gave us advice on how to win! Realistically, we were in and out within about 15 minutes, having spent $30. It's a little expensive but right in line with all the other claw machine establishments. We walked away with three stuffed animals and a bunch of snacks. We definitely had fun and I recommend checking it out. It's not nearly as chaotic as some of the other options nearby.
