- Arrive early in the day, especially on weekends, to ensure the best selection of pumpkins and to fully enjoy the activities before closing.
- Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes suitable for walking on uneven terrain and potentially muddy paths in the enchanted forest and pumpkin patch.
- Bring cash for marshmallow toasting, as it is an additional cost and may not accept card payments.
- Check the weather forecast and dress in layers, as the event is outdoors and can be chilly in October, even with a fire.
- Consider bringing a bag or box for your chosen pumpkin and any crafts you create to make transport easier.
