Sever's Fall Festival

Sever's Fall Festival in Shakopee began in 1997 with the second corn maze ever cut in the United States, the first and still largest in Minnesota. The hand-cut maze remains at its heart, surrounded by corn pits, jumping pillows, petting zoos, playgrounds, live shows, zip lines, pumpkin patches, local artisans, food vendors, beer and wine. Thousands of families come each season, many of them returning year after year.

Our take: Hang on to your general admission ticket; it's good for return visits all season.
