THE ACTIVITIES

Unlimited Farm Fun

Party reservations include unlimited access to the festival’s attractions—hayrides (operated as shared rides), the corn maze, the Boo Barn and play features such as the Bale Trail, Milky Sway Tunnel, Straw Jump and Cycle Circle.

THE SETTING

Outdoor Spaces Built for Groups

The orchard provides dedicated tented and pavilion areas for private bookings, with distinct picnic and pavilion spaces to host gatherings on the farm.

THE PACE

Concise, Focused Celebrations

Each party is booked into a two-hour time slot, giving groups a compact, activity-rich window to move through attractions and use the reserved farm spaces.

What the day feels like

What the Two Hours Feel Like

Expect a brisk, deliberately social rhythm: groups arrive to a reserved outdoor space, then flow between shared hayrides, the corn maze and clustered activity zones—barnyard encounters and seasonal play features keep energy high while the pavilion or picnic area serves as a home base for cake, gifts and regrouping.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this fits—and who should look elsewhere.

1
Family groups with childrenIdeal: the mix of playful attractions and animal encounters suits multi-age family groups looking for a hands-on fall experience within a two-hour window.
2
Large reunions & partiesWell suited: the Pavilion accommodates large gatherings and the festival environment supports group activities and communal celebration.
3
Birthday partiesGood match: party time slots are intended for birthdays and similar celebrations, with reserved outdoor space and access to all festival attractions.
4
Small private events seeking exclusive ridesNot ideal if you require private hayrides or exclusive attraction use—the hayrides are explicitly not private and attractions are shared with festival attendees.
