Tips & Advice

  • Arrive early to maximize your day, as activities run until around 4:00-4:30 PM, and the Playbarn Restaurant has last orders at 4 PM.
  • Bring your phone fully charged for digital tickets and ensure you have contactless payment methods, as the site is card-only.
  • Consider visiting on a weekday if possible to avoid the largest crowds, especially if you have younger children who might be overwhelmed.
  • Check the daily schedule upon arrival for specific times of shows and activities like the Magic Max show and Witchy Wiggle Disco to plan your day.
  • While pumpkins are sold separately, the Pumpkin Village offers fantastic photo opportunities, so bring your camera to capture memorable autumn moments.
