Went to this orchard in 2014 and was shocked at the prices. I paid $7.00 per person in my family ($35.00) to get into the orchard. The admission was to cover hayrides, one cart ride, one (super simple face painting), petting barn and corn maze. So, there was no corn maze...okay there was a few stocks out there, but no maze. The petting barn had a couple of animals and was very un-kept (wonder who regulates that) My children got a simple apple or pumpkin painting on their face, but the face painters had signs up of other elaborate face paintings they could do, of course for a lot more money. So, what do you do get the free apple or pay more for something fun painting on the face...ugh paid more! We waited in long lines for hayrides, so opted to walk more than anything ( I know good exercise). The lines for the food stands were long, which I can expect but then the staff was unprofessional (all teenagers), on their phones, not very good hygiene in the food stands. Our favorite donuts went up in price along with it seems everything else they offered. And the workers who sped around in the golf carts, thanks for kicking up all that dust. When we went to purchase a bag for picking apples the worker was laying in the cart on their phone and we seem to put them out when we asked for help. I could go on and on....I think we will be choosing a new orchard. Service at Minnetonka Orchards went way down in 2014
