As for the largest fall festival in Minnesota, that would be Sever's in Shakopee! Many people call it Sever's Corn Maze, since the corn maze is really popular, but there are also plenty of other activities to check out during your visit.

There are wildlife shows, jumping pillows, the giant corn pit, pig races, a petting zoo, great photo ops, and that's just a handful of what's available.

Sever's opens for the season on Saturday, September 16th and they'll be open every Saturday and Sunday through October 29th from 10 AM - 7 PM. They'll also be open at those same times during the Thursday and Friday of MEA break, so October 19th and 20th.

If you go in September, tickets bought online are $19 and tickets bought at the door are $23. If you want to go in October, then tickets bought online cost $22 and at the door, it's $26.
