HOW IS MY GUEST COUNT CALCULATED?
Each party package includes one free hosting parent/guardian of the birthday child and one free birthday child. The party host chaperone and birthday child are not included in your guest count since they are admitted free. A small package requires a minimum purchase of 10 tickets even if you have fewer than 10 guests; and a large package requires a minimum purchase of 20 tickets even if you have fewer than 20 guests. We will always adjust your final ticket to the lowest cost package is applied should your expected guest count to change to ensure you receive the best value and savings.
DO YOU CHARGE FOR ADULTS, OR PARENTS ACCOMPANYING CHILDREN ATTENDING MY PARTY?
Yes. Lucky Ladd Farms is a family destination with activities for all ages. Our facility requires admission for both adults and children. Unlike other venues where parents sit on the side-lines and only watch; Lucky Ladd's stresses the importance of family interaction and play by offering many activities that parents and children can enjoy together creating memories that will last a lifetime. Each visitor to the farm requires an admission ticket for entry and therefore will be included in your guest count unless you make prior arrangements with them to purchase their tickets separately.

Unfortunately we are unable to accommodate requests for child drop-offs or pick-ups, as parents cannot gain access to the farm park or party pavilions without either an admission ticket or being added to your guest count.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE CHECK-IN AND PARTY PROCESS FOR MYSELF AND GUESTS?
Party hosts may arrive up to 15-minutes prior to your scheduled party time. You will check-in at the admissions window located at the big red barn.

Remember, you must provide a credit card, to be held with our cashier when checking in, for payment of any remaining balance and additions for your party. You will pick it back up when you check-out for the day to settle your final bill.

Upon checking in, our staff will review details regarding your package, issue a wagon and direct you to your reserved pavilion location.

Please have your tables clean and area free from trash before the end of your reservation as we will need to promptly begin preparations for our next parties arrival.

Advise your guests to also check-in at the same window of the big red barn. Each guest (adults and children ages 2+) will receive a wristband for entry and be directed to your party pavilion. We keep a running tally of all guests which have checked in and entered the facility for your event.

To ensure you are receiving the best value and price; at the conclusion of your party, we will advise you if it's better to upgrade/downgrade your party package size or simply pay for any additional guests over your package limit.

Party guests that are season pass members will check-in as they normally would and are not counted towards your guest total.

Should you opt to not cover admission for your adult guests or tag-a-long siblings, then kindly advise them in advance so they are not surprised at the gate. Tickets purchased separately by individuals will be charged at our standard admission rates for the day, as only extra tickets included on the actual party hosts final balance will qualify for the party package discounted ticket rate. You can find our standard admission rates here.

Beverage pitchers and cups are brought to your tables shortly after your scheduled party time. If food is ordered from our online menu, then it will be served to your group 30-minutes after your party starts. Food service times may not be altered. Should you like to add pitcher refills during your party, please visit the Barnyard Grill, located near the party pavilions, to place your order and they will deliver it to your tables.

Discounted pricing is available for food orders placed through our online menu. Orders should be placed a minimum of 5 days in advance of your event. Alternatively, concessions are available full-price on site, but wait times could be long since food is cooked upon order.

Animal feed will be provided to you when checking-in. It is enough for one serving per guest-based party package size reserved. If you added extra animal feed, birdseed sticks, lettuce for rabbit/tortoise feeding, pony ride tickets or gem mining rough; then you may also pick those items up during your check-in.

There is not a specific itinerary for parties hosted at Lucky Ladd Farms. The time is your own! It's up to you what activities to do and when to do them. Most guests will utilize their reserved time at the party pavilion for enjoying food, eating cake, and opening gifts. The pavilion also serves as a centralized meetup location for guests. Because there is so much to do, it's nearly impossible to do it all in just 2 hours. Once your reserved time at the party pavilion has ended, you and your guests are welcome to stay for unlimited play until park closing. Alternatively, you may opt to arrive before your reserved party for extra play time so long as the park has opened for the day.

After your big day ends, go inside the big red barn where staff will assist you with closing out your party ticket and return your credit card. We look forward to your visit!
I'M UNSURE OF HOW MANY GUESTS I MAY HAVE. CAN I ADD GUESTS LATER?
When scheduling your party, we do not require an exact guest count. As your guests arrive the day of your event, they must check-in at admissions to receive a wristband allowing entry to the Farm. We keep a running tally of all guests (adults and children) that have checked in for your party. We will make adjustments to reflect the appropriate number of guests when closing out your party the day of your event.
AM I ALLOWED TO DECORATE MY TABLES?
Yes. You may decorate as much or as little as you like. Your party package includes a party pavilion with six picnic tables reserved just for your use for two hours. Should you think you will need additional space for extra guests, then you will need to reserve a party pavilion for the same time slot.

Decorations may not be taped, stapled or nailed to any of our tables, buildings or trees. Also, silly string, confetti, piƱatas, streamers, shredded stuffing, glass containers and whistles are prohibited as they all pose choking hazards to our animals should the debris end up in our pastures.
WHAT TIME CAN I ARRIVE TO SETUP FOR OUR PARTY?
You may check-in 15 minutes before your scheduled party time.
WE HAVE GUESTS WITH SEASON PASSES. CAN THEY USE THEM FOR ENTRY TO OUR BIRTHDAY PARTY?
Yes. Guests with Season Passes will check-in as they normally would, even when attending a party. Visitors checking in with a season pass are not counted towards your party guest total.
WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS, OR RAIN IS FORECAST FOR THE DAY OF OUR PARTY?
The Farm generally remains open during periods of light rain. Should it become necessary to close the Farm after your party has started due to lightening or prolonged periods of heavy downpours lasting more than 30-minutes, then each paid party guest will receive a rain-check to visit the farm another day at their convenience during the same season.

If there is a high probability of heavy storms on the day of your party, then you may request to reschedule your party for another day up to 24-hours in advance of your event. Please email us with weather related requests to reschedule. Be sure to include your booking number.
HOW LONG WILL MY PARTY LAST?
Your party pavilion reservation is for two hours, but you are welcome to stay and play at the Farm Park until we close at the end of the day. Alternatively, you may also arrive to play before your scheduled party time once the farm has opened, but either way you will not be able to access your reserved space or setup that area until about 15 minutes before your reserved time slot.
CAN WE EXTEND OUR PARTY TIME?
Yes, if space is available. You may request to extend your reservation at the time of booking by making the request in the comments field. We cannot guarantee extensions to always be available and will notify you of approval. Additional fees will apply.
