No admission fee (unlike some other orchards in the area) and pretty cheap activities- 3 dollar corn maze, 1.75 hay ride, 40 cents per pound pumpkin patch. Only complaint was that it was a bit crowded on the weekend. Also, there are No pick your own apples- apparently it can damage the trees. It would be really fun to go with kids and our group of 20 year olds also had fun.
Visited the apple orchard from The Bahamas with my family and everyone here was amazing. Got to try the First Kiss apples, the Apple pie and the apple turnovers, also the apple donuts, and they were absolutely delicious!!!! Don't leave Minnesota without stopping here please!
It's a family tradition for us to go here a couple time in the fall each year. So fun!
There is a oot to see. You can have a lot if fun here and make memories.
Spacious so it doesn't feel crowded. Family owned and friendly. Check their website for live music and pony rides on certain days/times. We go at least twice a year for strawberries and apples/ pumpkins.
Our favorite apple orchard in Minnesota, the apples are delicious and the blueberry apple pie is a must to try!
Great place for a fall family outing. Good apples and awesome baked goods!
Been coming here since our kids were toddler's, great baked good and apples are always stupendous!
Go earlier in the day. After 3, nothing much is happening. It is a very fun place to go in the fall!
Always a fun orchard to visit in the fall. $2/person wagon ride through the orchard with beautiful Pine Tree Lake as a backdrop. Great apple goodies and 25 different apple varieties.
Nice, web said opened at 9, very sad that
hayrides, pumpkinp patch, not open till 1pm.
Could not stay long ride home. Would have been nice to have that info posted.
GREAT PLACE FOR YOUR CHILDREN, A WIDE VARIETY OF APPLES, DESSERTS AND BAKED GOODS, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.
Yummy baked goods, cute view of the water, $4 corn maze and you get a free apple afterwards. My only complaint is that it's very popular so people are everywhere.
This is a fall staple for us. We normally walk the grounds a bit but usually go during the week when all of the attractions are not open (and its not as busy). After going inside we always end up with a full basket of Apples, Apple Donuts, Jams, Cider, Popovers, Apple Bars, Caramel Apples, you name it. No trip is complete without going through the Dessert line and picking up some apples with caramel and cinnamon ice cream!
We have been going to Pine Tree Apple Orchard for several years. I started out bringing my daughter when she was a young teenager, and now I go with my daughter and grandkids. A great part of our annual fall fun!!
I work there all of it the best go there very good people's
Pumpkin selection is good, but the corn maze is lacking creativity. A suggestion would be to put other fun or interesting signs or pieces of art.
I really enjoyed this orchard. There was a wagon ride through the orchard! It was beautiful and bigger than I thought! Inside there were lots of apple desserts and apples for sale. It was a very fun way to spend the afternoon.
Good experience on a tractor ride, harvesting apples and picking up pumpkins.
Always have a great time here. The treats from the store are delectable. And always fresh.
Love this place! I have been going since I was a kid
If you've never stopped in just to have some apple doughnuts your life has a black hole of a void you don't know is missing. Seriously. These and the other baked goods from the store are the best treats around (and there is some tough competition in the area with other home town bakers!) If doing manual labor and picking your own fruit is something you consider fun, then this is the place to do it. Or if you're like me, you can make a B line for the store and enjoy the fruits of other peoples manual labor instead. Well worth the visit.
Very fun experience! You can go through a corn maze and also pick pumpkins. The gift shop has amazing goodies and also can sit and eat at the dessert cafe. Check it out!
Fun day and the corn maze with the "letter hunt" was great for the kids. A bit commercial, but so goes business.
This place is the best. It's amazing, beautiful, and just a great place to be.
Hard to get in and out of during the rush season. Expensive products and produce.
Like to get to sample the different kinds of apples. The rollovers are delicious. The apple pie with ice cream was good but would have been better if the pie was warm.
2 Honey Crisp Apple for $2.72 kinda sour this trip.
Great place to take the family in late summer and fall!
I remember taking a field trip here in 1976 I was in 3rd grade and remember the room sized apple sorting machine - well that machine is still running in 2019!
Great selection of take and bake pies, and other treats!
Best orchard bar none, and best apple and pumpkin pies in the known universe! Everything, in fact, is delish at Pine Tree!
Family-friendly, caring staff. Apple donuts are delicious! Most of their bakery items (donuts, pies, turnovers) are sold through Feb/March. Strawberry rhubarb pie is perfect!
Great place, awesome visit, the children and adults enjoyed our visit.
If you want to show up and buy apples for an exhorbiant fee, this is the place. If you want to actually pick them, it is not for you.
We go every year and it's a beautiful and wonderful experience!
Best apples in the state.it is the only orchard I will go to
We had a great time there with the kids, always the best time best choices. I love this place!
Lots of fun outdoor things to do with kids. Hay rides, corn maze, watching apple sorting (seriously), and picking up your favorite apple variety fresh from the trees. Can be a bit pricey depending on how much you want to do.
Went on a wagon ride with our cub scout pack. Got to pick an apple and a pumpkin. Had a camp fire with donuts and cider. Wagon driver was entertaining and knowledgeable.
So much to look at, smell and taste. Fun for families. I took my boyfriend on our 2nd date. Super fun!
My favorite Apple Orchard by far!! They have the biggest store room and gift shop with a unique rotating apple sorter that kids and adults like to watch. The apple doughnuts and apple cider chocolate chip cookies are amazing. You can buy a smaller amount of apples from them and not get stuck with more than you can handle. It's a beautiful property with a breathtaking view of the lake during the hayride. The tractor driver reminded me of a sweet grandpa and took our picture with our camera before the ride started. I've been coming here since I was a kid and I've never been disappointed!!
We love this place but wish it was wheelchair accessible for all kids
The cider is by far the best I have ever tasted and the pastries are to die for.
Pine tree has been a family tradition for a long time. It's a fun place to go. Nothing against them at all, but this year it felt a little different with the covid junk. It was more of an in and out. Buy some donuts, fritters, and cider, and head out. Fritters are freaking awesome.
Been coming here for years. Awesome apples and baked goods.
I love this place!! All the homemade desserts are amazing and the Carmel apples are out of this world. I bought a blueberry apple pie there, it was frozen and I baked it at home. It was wonderful. I am planning to return to purchase another one soon. The grounds are also beautiful. A great place for a family afternoon.
Fresh apples, fresh bakery and great staff. You can't go wrong
Nice orchard. Lovely to walk around. No pick your own. Great bakery. Fun to watch people working sorting apples, etc.
You don't pic the Apples they have them already in bags. Or made into something to bring home.
Enjoyable and relaxing afternoon strolling through the orchard and pumpkins.
This place is amazing!! Best apple cider I've ever had, hands down!
The apple orchard was closed unfortunately the day we went but the store had some amazing stuff. Apple butter, blueberry apple jam, etc. was pretty tasty.
Beautiful scenery. Buy all things Apple related. (Not Steve jobs Apple, but the kind you eat)
We honestly went to this orchard for a photo session in the winter, and it had beautiful views that did not disappoint! The inside of the buildings were homey and cozy and they have delicious hot cider and donuts as well! I would like to return during the fall to get the full fall/apple orchard experience! Would recommend this place!
Love everything here -- they get it right. Great baked goods, apples, strawberries, seasonal gift shop, plenty of tables in and out to sit and enjoy the beautiful site. Super, welcoming customer service, friendly and with activities fun for all ages. Wonderful, peaceful place to walk and enjoy orchard and pumpkin patch. We return several times a year.
Wish they'd figure out a way to get beverage-only orders through the cafe faster.
A delightful Orchard and fall festivities center for all ages. Do check the times of activities before you go to make sure you get to do what you want to.
I took my girlfriend on a date here. It was fun and so well put together. The festive food and corn maze was great. I wish there was more activities being held. And parking wasnt very organized.
Wonderful place to bring the entire family. Strawberry's, apples, and pumpkins. The store has everything you could want an you can get treats to eat all around apples!
Great apple cider and pastries. Prices reasonable. Drive to it was awesome and scenic. Short drive from St Paul.
First orchard we have ever been to but we had so much as a family!
This is the best orchard in the Twin Cities! The apples are always the best, and all of their baked goods are beyond delicious! I have been going here with my family for over 20 years.
Love this place in the fall! Amazing property taken care of by experts who are very passionate about their property. This should be a tradition for the fall!
