“ A fun, ridiculous, touristy, kitschy stop in Minnesota. If you are coming through during the summer (only open part of the year) it's a can't miss visit. We take folks visiting from out of town every chance we get! ”

“ It kind of boggles the mind to walk around the place. I'd say pick a section and work your way around slowly. So much fun! ”

“ Ignore the butthurt leftists trying to cancel this place - it is spectacular and a the best tourist attraction in the region. An excellent selection of candy, gourmet foods and fresh produce. Many of the items cannot easily be found anywhere else. Many, many different boxed puzzles if you're into that. Definitely an experience not to be missed if you're anywhere near the area! ”

“ I come here every year. They always change up the place and it is fun to see what new design they created. Also, if you are not into candy and soda, the apple pies are so worth it. Often they are still warm and very tasty. They also have some hard to find candies that I send to family members. They do not take credit cards so be warned, bring cash. ”

“ FOUR WORDS- BEST CANDY STORE EVER It can be very overwhelming at times but if you go at the right time you will be fine They have a huge variety of food and candy from soda to bacon to Japanese candy and chips, and licorice Most of their candy is cheaper than other places But you can't find most of it at all. ”

“ Hammer is repulsed. Yet, he cannot look away from forbidden fruit. With the exception of my niece and nephew, I do not like kids. I also am not a huge fan of candy. Jim's Apple Farm has a ton of kids and a ton of candy, but I am still enamored based on my first visit today. OK, truth be told - I have a sweet tooth that is a fiend (I just do a pretty good job of suppressing it). If there is candy at the office or at a party, I am all over it like a gluttonous raven. I just hardly ever buy it myself for my own at-home consumption. Figure I should try and limit my addictions. I'm like a chocoholic, but for booze. Must have been some time since I drove this far south on 169, because I am pretty darned sure I have never seen this place before. It is literally impossible to miss. It is a gigantic yellow building on the west side of the highway not too far from Shakopee. Some might call it an eyesore. The only other candy store I can recall having been in the last ten years was Candyland in Downtown St. Paul. I can't speak as to prices, but this place blows Candyland out of the water when it comes to selection. 150 different root beers, probably 50 different kinds of saltwater taffy, and aisles upon aisles of product that will keep your dentist rolling in bank. When I walked in, I started grabbing stuff left and right like the plague was coming and candy was the remedy. Thought to myself: pull yourself together, Hammer, or you will be headed for both a stomach stapling and a root canal. Whittled my selections down to a small container of pineapple saltwater taffy and a bottle of Chicago Root Beer. Minus one huge star for this place not taking credit cards. I almost never carry cash and had to pay a $2.65 fee to use their ATM. Just does not seem like a very good business decision to not take credit cards. Sure, the credit card company gets a small percentage of the sale, but people are going to buy a shit ton more if they could put it on plastic. I may have gone with all of the stuff that I initially grabbed if I could have swiped my Visa for it at the register. Maybe I am lucky that Jim's does not take credit cards. I ate the entire damn container of taffy in my car before I even got back to the city limits. Thanks for saving me from me, Jim - I'm still going to give you some grief for it, though. ”
