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. read more
