• The Ultimate Guide to Twin Cities Fall Family Fun 2026 (twincitiesfrugalmom.com) — Shakopee families can dive into fall with the Minnesota Renaissance Festival, Sever's Fall Festival, and ValleySCARE all spotlighted as major Twin Cities attractions this season. The guide also rounds up pumpkin patches, orchards, spooky events, nature centers, sunflower fields, and even DIY fall drink recipes and printables to help you plan affordable, family-friendly outings across the metro. 
• Six Flags parks are losing the Six Flags name this year (piratesandprincesses.net) — Valleyfair in Shakopee is among seven parks sold in a $331 million deal, and it will quietly drop the Six Flags branding after this season. For local passholders, 2026 prices and benefits stay the same, but future pricing, names, and perks will be decided by the new owner, EPR Properties and its operator Enchanted Parks.
