WHAT ARE YOUR HOURS?
Review our seasonal hours of operation here, as they vary throughout the year. To maximize your value, reserve tickets for the earliest time slot available. If you're concerned a late afternoon time slot won't allow you enough time to fully enjoy the facility then please consider choosing another day to visit.
Upon opening, check-in is allowed up to 15-minutes before your scheduled ticket time and up to 1-hour after. Admission gates close 1-hour prior to closing time scheduled the day of your visit.

WHY BUY TICKETS ONLINE?
Purchasing tickets online provides a significant savings opportunity for guests, as much as 60% less compared to at the gate. The earlier you buy the more you save.
In addition, buying online guarantees your entry when we sell out for the day, which is important during peak seasonal events, as once a time-slot sells out online, we do not release tickets to be sold at the gate. This helps us be able to better control crowd sizes to provide a fun and safe experience to guests.
But be aware, buying online doesn't mean you won't have to wait in line at admissions, as you will still need to scan your tickets for entry at the gate. Lines are typically longest at admissions during the first 1.5-hours upon opening each day.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO VISIT LUCKY LADD FARMS?
We suggest allowing minimum of 2-3 hours when visiting the Farm Fun Park, Petting Farm & Zoo though it is not uncommon for guests to spend the day. On larger festival or special event days you should allocate 3-4 hours for your visit, as crowds will likely be heavier and wait times may be longer.
WHEN ARE CROWDS THE LOWEST?
Crowds are generally lighter on weekdays, and later in the afternoon.
Lines are heaviest during the first 1.5-hours of opening.
Peak crowds occur when tulips are blooming in the spring, fall break and weekends in October, as well as the week/weekend before Christmas.

CAN I LEAVE AND COME BACK ON THE SAME DAY?
Yes. Visitors are welcome to exit and come back on the same day, but all guests must leave their wristband on to re-gain entry.
I ONLY PLAN TO WATCH THE KIDS PLAY. DO I NEED TO PURCHASE ADMISSION?
Yes, when visiting the Farm Fun Park, Petting Zoo, or You-Pick Fields admission is required. Lucky Ladd Farms offers many fun activities for all ages, therefore everyone entering must pay admission. Your admission allows you to relax and enjoy quality time with your family and friends, creating enjoyable memories sure to last a lifetime.
DO YOU CLOSE FOR INCLEMENT WEATHER SUCH AS WHEN IT'S COLD OR RAINING? CAN I RECEIVE A REFUND, RESCHEDULE, OR RECEIVE A RAINCHECK?
Lucky Ladd Farms is almost entirely an all-outdoor venue. Tickets are non-refundable. Safety of our guests, staff, and animals are primary considerations, therefore Lucky Ladd's will occasionally close our facility due to severe weather conditions.
Operations and special event activities will go on regardless of outdoor temperatures so please dress accordingly.
The Farm remains open during periods of light rain. However, operations may be suspended if there is lightning, torrential downpours, or flooding in the area. During brief periods of inclement weather some or all activities, attractions, and rides may be shut down temporarily.
Rain checks are only issued to on-site guests should it become necessary for the Farm to close early.
A weather forecast (for Lucky Ladd Farms physical location) showing a probable chance of consistently heavy rain that is 60% or greater during our scheduled hours of operation will automatically result in cancellation of activities and pre purchased tickets for the day. (Consistently means the forecast shows a high chance of rain here at the farm for the better part of the day. This does not apply for a brief storm passing through.) Once a decision is made to cease operations for the day, we will not reopen, even if weather conditions improve later in the day.
VOUCHER COUPON CODES:
Should a decision to close be made before opening for the day then ticket holders will be issued a voucher code, via the email they used to purchase their tickets, with a credit that can be used towards the purchase of tickets to visit the Farm Fun Park and Petting Zoo during normal hours of operation on an future date in the same season. Vouchers have expiration dates, so please be sure to use them before they expire. Per the ticket processor, vouchers may only be used towards a single transaction and cannot be split.
Closure notifications are (1) emailed to existing ticket-holders, (2) announced on our information hotline, and (3) posted on our Facebook page should cancellation of outdoor activities be necessary.
IMPORTANT: Please do not assume weather conditions at Lucky Ladd Farms are the same as your location. Decisions will be based on our physical location only.
RESCHEDULING: The ticket processor allows you to create an account and reschedule your tickets to another date or time, so long as the change is done before your scheduled visit and pending availability. Instructions on how to reschedule are included in the ticket purchase confirmation email. Please be aware ticket modifications, including moving dates and times, are subject to a $10 fee per transaction, and assessed by the ticket processor to the card they keep on file.

CAN I UPGRADE MY ADMISSION TO A SEASON PASS?
Yes. We apply the base value of the admission ticket purchased towards your season pass. Add-on activities purchased with a combo ticket or alone, processor fees, and sales taxes collected are not credited towards the pass. Pass upgrades must be done on-site the same day of your visit.

DOES THE FARM HAVE RESTROOMS?
Yes. The Farm is equipped with portable restroom facilities, baby changing stations and sinks for hand-washing. While we agree portable facilities are not preferred, we do not have access to sewer service, nor soil sites for septic systems to accommodate large crowds, thus portable facilities are our only option. All facilities are serviced hourly to ensure cleanliness.
CAN YOU BRING OUTSIDE FOOD IN?
Guests are welcome to bring in snacks to enjoy during your visit. Complementary tables are provided on a first-come basis. We ask that you not use tables for birthday parties or hold them for extended periods of time so that other guests may enjoy them too. Guests celebrating a special occasion may reserve a Party Pavilion with reserved tables here. Please properly dispose of all trash and clean-up your tables after eating. Coolers, insulated bags, grills, and glass containers are not allowed. Cooking on-site is strictly prohibited.
CAN I BRING MY PET WITH ME ON MY VISIT?
We host "Pups in the Park" on select days throughout the year. Leashed dogs with friendly temperaments may accompany their families for a visit to the farm; however, pets in general sometimes present health and safety issues to our own animals and guests, therefore certain areas of the facility are still strictly off-limits even on dog-friendly days. Learn more about our designated dog days here.
Trained service companions, as defined by ADA standards, are permitted any day, though still with limitations, please review our service dog policy here.

DO YOU OFFER GROUP DISCOUNTS?
Yes. Any non-school group purchasing 20+ tickets with one payment qualifies for a reduced rate. If you are a school group, please visit our field trip page for special pricing on educational tours.
DO YOU OFFER STROLLER OR WHEELCHAIR RENTALS?
Stroller and wheelchair rentals are not available. We do have wagons for rent on a first-come basis. Due to the popularity of these rentals, we are unable to guarantee availability. Wagon rentals are $10 daily.
Personal strollers and wheelchairs are always welcome. Motorized wheelchairs and strollers with larger bicycle-style wheels fair best on our natural terrain of gravel, mulch, grass and dirt. Walking paths are not paved.

WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?
We gladly accept cash and most major credit cards.
ARE THE FARM PARK & PETTING ZOO OPEN DURING THE WINTER?
No. The Farm Fun Park, Petting Farm & Zoo are open seasonally. Dates of operation vary from year-to-year. We will open once Tulips begin to bloom in the spring and remain open through the last weekend in October each year. We do host events during the Christmas season, but the Farm Fun Park, Petting Farm & Zoo are closed offering very limited access to a few activities.
ARE FARM TOURS SAFE? DO ANIMALS CARRY GERMS?
Farm tours give people of all ages an exciting opportunity to learn more about animals and agriculture but can also put people at risk of becoming ill or injured.
Zoonotic diseases are infectious diseases that can be spread between animals and people. Some examples include Campylobacter, Salmonella, E. coli O157:H7, Yersinia enterocolitica, Leptospira, and Cryptosporidium. A variety of germs are naturally in the intestines of healthy animals and are unknowingly passed in the animals' feces. People get sick from these germs by swallowing them. Germs may end up on your hands after contact with animals or surfaces in animal areas. Adults over 65, children under five, pregnant women, and those with weakened immune systems are at a higher risk.
To reduce your risk of getting sick: properly supervise children in animal areas, don't put fingers or other things in your mouth while in animal areas, and thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water immediately after visiting animal areas. Hand sanitizer may be used as a supplement to aid in the killing of germs, but does not replace soap and water since it doesn't kill all parasites like Cryptosporidium.
