Afton Apple Orchard

This place is flat out awesome. The $2 cover charge is chump change for what this place offers. I hope no one listens to that first review. They're obviously a cheap frugal person who has absolutely no concept of running a business. That place is great!!!

I can't believe people would complain about $2.00 admission charge! Afton apple offers so much for families and friends to do! I guess people think it's free to take care of everything they offer. Hayrides, playground, animals, and being able to pick our own fruit! ...Besides that, they know everyone eats some apples or raspberries. (everyone does it!) I think it's worth the minimal admission charge. They haven't raised their prices in several years and we can't say that about most places. Give them a chance, there aren't too many pick-your-own orchards left. Our kids can't wait to go again next year, we have so many memories from the past and can't wait to make more this year. We have friends that have been to the other local orchards and they offer nothing and the often charge for a simple hayride and have NOTHING else to offer like the playground or animals to see and feed. Its the perfect place to enjoy the fall weather and don't forget your camera!!! Read More

I can't believe Minnesotans would fall for this. Pay a fee so you can buy fruit? What's next, a cover charge to the grocery store?
There are orchards such as Minnesota Harvest that will still welcome your business and not rob you with an entrance fee. People should stay away from this type of greed.
