Enjoy a fun corn maze and apple picking in southern Minnesota at Montgomery Orchard and save on admission with this Groupon deal.

Plus, save an extra 20% with coupon code BEST through October 11th!

Options include:

• $14 $17.50 for corn maze and apple picking for two – $7/person
• $29.20 $36.50 for corn maze and apple picking for four – $7.30/person
• $40.80 $51 for corn maze and apple picking for six – $6.80/person

The orchard is open Fridays from 1 – 6 pm, Saturdays from 10 am – 6 pm, and Sundays from 10 am – 5 pm through 10/28/18. Note that admission is free for children 5 and under. I’m not sure the amount of apples you get with this deal but it’s basically like getting free apples since admission to the corn maze alone is $6.50 – $7.75 per person.

The maze itself looks like a lot of fun! One side is shorter and takes about a half hour to complete, so it’s great for families with small children. The other side is longer, but your admission provides you access to both sides of the maze. It’s filled with fun interactive trivia questions throughout, and if you answer correctly, you’ll earn a patch at the orchard store!

Today, the crew at Montgomery Orchard hosts plenty of family friendly entertainments. They welcome visitors for self-guided tours through the beautiful prairie, and also invite them to come pluck many varieties of Minnesota apples. The six-acre corn maze is divided into two halves, with one side being shorter and well-suited for families with small children, and a second side which is longer and will require more time to complete. A cidery/winery is also on-site, allowing adults to purchase a glass of wine or participate in a tasting. Three years ago Montgomery Orchard opened Montgomery Harvest Cider and Wines. Today, they offer five authentic ciders and five specialty wines. Grab a glass, then spend the afternoon in the corn maze or picking apples.

The heart and soul of Great Wolf Lodge Bloomington is its 75,000-square-foot indoor water park. Splashy rides such as River Canyon Run—a four-story raft water slide—and a zero-depth-entry wave pool with 3-foot swells surround the park’s iconic hub: a four-story treehouse with a 1,000-gallon tipping bucket. Younger kids will have a blast with the gentle spray features of Cub Paw Pool.

The water park, which hovers around 84 degrees all year long, isn’t the resort’s only family-friendly activity. You’ll also find an arcade with more than 100 games and Scooops Boutique, where visitors can get fun nail polish and glitter tattoos.

• Extended and exclusive water park access: You can enter the water park at 1 pm on the day you check in and stay until close on the day you check out (essentially 2 days’ water park admission). And since there are no day passes for outside visitors, resort guests have exclusive access and won’t get stuck in long lines.
• Family-friendly fun: The resort has games and activities for kids of all ages. Explore options by age group here.
• Hands-on crafts and activities such as face painting and balloon twisting during the Lunch Time Lineup can keep kids entertained when they want a break from the water park action.
• Roomy suites comfortably sleep up to six guests. Some suites offer extra privacy with enclosed bunk beds.
• Fuel up with food and drinks at eight restaurants and snack bars.
• Add a Paw Pass or Pup Pass to your stay to enjoy kid-friendly activities and sweets at Creation Station, Oliver’s Mining Co., and more at a discounted rate. See everything that’s included—as well as other available packages—here (additional fees apply).
• Safety first: Complimentary life jackets in multiple sizes and trained lifeguards help keep families safe and secure.
• Distance from Minneapolis: 10 miles
