Tips & Advice
- Book tickets early as they often sell out, especially for popular dates and times.
- Consider visiting on a weekday or earlier in the season to avoid the largest crowds.
- Wear sturdy footwear as the farm fields can be uneven, muddy, or bumpy, especially after rain.
- Bring a wheelbarrow or sturdy bag for carrying your chosen pumpkins, as you might pick more than you expect!
- Check the weather forecast and dress in layers, as much of the experience is outdoors.
