Wells Fargo Family Farm Celebrates 25 Years

The Wells Fargo Family Farm has been charming guests since it opened in May 2000. It’s well worth a walk to the Farm to see the spring babies grow from small to tall all summer long. Check out a farm animal demonstration, then have a picnic on the porch of the Farm House!

Save the date! Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular returns on Sept 26 – Nov 2.

Tickets go on sale in September.
Stroll through a glowing trail of thousands of artist-carved pumpkins during this enchanting after-hours experience at the Minnesota Zoo. Back by popular demand, the Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular features larger-than-life displays, seasonal sounds, and festive food and beverages—all surrounded by the magic of the natural world.
