Guests are able to park in our free quick-stay spots in our yard or just outside the farm for a maximum of 1.5 hours. Handicapped parking spots are also available.
We recommend arriving early. Customers coming to enjoy the paid attractions must park in Parking Lot A (lower lot). Limited drop-in space will be allotted where customers can purchase admission tickets through an on-site designated booth. You can choose between a morning time-slot (9:30 am to 1:30 pm) or afternoon time-slot (2:00 pm to 6:30 pm). Note: If a customer arrives past the 9: 30 am or 2:00 pm arrival times, the maximum time available to park in this area is still 1:30 pm and 6:30 pm, respectively. We highly recommend arriving on time so you can maximize your time at the farm. Parking on weekends in the lower lot now costs $8 per time slot, but those who purchase a family pass of 4 or more adults, arriving in one, car will receive one free parking pass .
