Minimum 12 children. Maximum of 25 children per room. Only one adult per child included in price.

All children must be paid for and included in your group’s rate. Infants under one-year-old are free unless the parent wants them to receive a pumpkin and trick-or-trick goodie bag. Your party package includes one adult per child for the hayride and/or corn maze. The hayride does not stop in the field. Additional adults wishing to go on the hayride or cornmaze are $5.00 per adult. (No adults receive a pumpkin or trick-or-treat bag). If an adult picks a pumpkin, the adult must pay for the pumpkin in the farmstand by the pound price. Remember, your visit is not a guided tour. All parents or supervisors are responsible for the children in the party and any gifts or belongings in the party room. The room fee is paid in advance to hold your reservation and not deducted from your bill.
