DOES THE MINIMUM GUEST COUNT INCLUDE THE FREE CHAPERONE AND BIRTHDAY CHILD?
No, one hosting parent/guardian of the birthday child and the birthday child are not included as part of the minimum guest count as they receive free admission. A small package requires the 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 ticket to the lowest cost package should your expected guest count to change to ensure the best value.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE CHECK-IN AND PARTY PROCESS FOR MYSELF AND GUESTS?
Party hosts may arrive up to 15-minutes prior to your schedule party time. You will check-in at the admissions window located at the Big Red Barn. Please remember to bring a credit card which will be kept on hold until you check-out for the day.

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 party.

Guests will 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 directed to your party pavilion. We keep a running tally of all guests for your event and 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 normal so they 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 the standard admission rates here.

Ice beverage pitchers and cups are brought to your tables shortly after your scheduled party time. If you've ordered food from our 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 drink pitcher refills during your party, please visit the Barnyard Grille, located near the Party pavilions, to place your order and they will deliver it to your tables. Food orders with discounted pricing must be placed online 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.

If you added extra pony ride tickets or gem mining rough, then you will go to the Big Red Barn to pick-up tokens after all guests have arrived. Animal feed will be provided to you upon check-in for your guests.

Parties at Lucky Ladd Farms are self-guided. It's up to you what activities to do and when to do them. Most guests will start with the animals, make their way through the playgrounds and then come back to their tables for cake and ice cream. Because there is so much to do, it's nearly impossible to do it all in just 2-hours. We advise opening gifts at home to make the best use of your time with family and friends at the farm. And remember you and your guests are welcome to stay for unlimited play even after your reserved table time has ended.

After your big day comes to a close, go back to the Big Red Barn where staff will assist you with closing out your party. 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 reservation includes six picnic tables for two-hours under a covered pavilion. Should you think you will need additional space for food, decorations or extra guests, then you may reserve additional tables at the time of booking.

We do not allow any decorations to 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. Season passes may be used when attending a birthday party and those guests do not count towards your package 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.
WHY DO I NEED TO PAY FOR ADULTS TO ATTEND MY CHILDS PARTY?
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.
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. You may also arrive to play before your scheduled party time, but will not be able to access your reserved space or setup that area until 15-minutes before your 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 be available at all times and will notify you of approval. Additional fees will apply.
