We’re open rain or shine, so dress for the weather and wear sturdy footwear. Some attractions, such as wagon rides, pedal carts and the low ropes course, may pause in heavy rain. If severe weather forces a closure, ticket holders will be contacted about rebooking.
Our paths are flat, natural grass and dirt. Strollers with large, rugged wheels manage well; standard indoor wheelchairs may struggle on loose ground, especially in the corn maze and after rain. Wagons aren’t allowed inside the maze.
Yes. Portable washrooms and handwashing stations are in the Harvest Fun Area and beside the Market.
