A fake miniature village on Dakota County Fairgrounds. Neat nestled in a very shady part of 360 acres of fairgrounds gives weary fair goers a rest area while consuming fair activities.

We went for the Christmas Village, so cute and fun. It was cold but if you go dressed for the weather, it was fun. Lots of different buildings with stuff inside.

Love this place. My kids wrote letters to Santa and they actually replied!!! I really enjoy the staff explaining everything. Its a wonderful place to bring kids, or have a date night..

Need sign for entering village. This would help people decide where they should park.Visitors should ensure they will not need to use a restroom. Only volunteer staff are allowed to use a bathroom located in building visitor is exploring. If you are wary on ice, dont go

Cool place for the family to go around Xmas time. Relive the old times and enjoy conversation with the staff as they tell you about the history of Dakota County.

Went for the Christmas exhibit, play by the Castle Childrens Theatre, and lights - all were fantastic. Many things to see and learn about for a very, very reasonable price.

Village is very well laid-out with lots of good events throughout the year.

Fun little place to explore and learn. The Christmas experience is the best!

Love this place for their holiday setting. We have gone every year for the last 5 years. Just a great way to get into the holiday season. If you like to see and hear some local history, it is a great way to spend an afternoon. And volunteers set up Christmas lights for December, that are on every night. Great place to grab some pictures.

Such a great place to learn about 1800s. Well maintained and very knowledgeable guides. Variety of camps and activities throughout the year.

Always nice to visit especially on off times as it is so peaceful and relaxing

I really appreciate seeing historical sites preserved; there are often events happening around the Heritage Village that I enjoy attending with friends and family!

Definitely would go again . Far distance but worth a trip looks so authentic and they have a shoot out reenactment on certain days and times.

Very cool bbn look back.

It was like traveling back to Little House on the Prairie. I loved it.

This is a great place to come and explore things of the past in the turn of the century village. No matter what your age you will find something to peak your interest. Enjoy singing Christmas carols in the church. Watch the blacksmith, print maker, or the cabinet maker as they work their trade. Go visit the barbershop and catch up on the latest. Feel free to ask all the questions you want as theyre happy to teach you about their work. And be sure to go visit the lovely homes in the village and watch as they prepare for and entertain guests for Christmas.

Check for times when they are open, but my kids went to a summer camp here and loved it. Their eyes lit up as they would describe to me how old bank tellers did their jobs, how the trains would run, or the types of things found in the old General Store. It will be open during the Dakota County Fair as well, but it is a great heritage village for the family to explore.

Historic town located on the Dakota Countu Fairgrounds

Bring a person back quite a ways. Some of the buildings here are from my past.

Such a fun, unique place! Our whole family loves to go!

Love this place!!

Really cool period clothing, nice antique feel.

Great time with the family. Plenty of things to do and the grandkids loved the trolley rides- horse and tractor.

The tractor parade was really sorry This year

Great history to be had

Bring lots of water to the fair so you can have fun without spending alot.

1st grade field trip, so educational

We decided to have our wedding her and were under the impression that we would be the only people there. We were so wrong! They had two other events! We had to keep telling people they could not be around where we were and then the other event their music was too loud! They told me they would make sure no one would bother us at all during our time there because they refuse to cancel the other events. They did not follow that and when we complained to the person who was supposed to be there to make sure they did not interrupt us they said they could be here too! DO NOT BOOK HERE!

Our family loves this place.

Boring AF and nothing to do

Magical

Great place for living history!

Its a step back in time.

Fun for familys

Love this place
