FAQs

Costumes are encouraged! Please remember to dress appropriately for the weather, and don’t forget closed-toe waterproof shoes and warm jackets. Prepare to embrace a bit of mud during your visit.
No! All activities are included with your admission. Hot food and beverages are available for purchase at the Outdoor Kitchen, and fresh produce, U-Pick Flowers, and pumpkins are available for sale at the Farm Stand and Pumpkin Express Checkout.
Walk-ins are welcome, but we encourage you to purchase tickets in advance to streamline check-in and help us plan for food and staff. Plus, advance tickets are $1 less than at the door. Your early registration helps us ensure enough food for everyone and minimizes waste. Thank you for your support!
