Tips & Advice
- Book your tickets in advance online, as they are not sold at the door and popular dates can sell out quickly.
- Arrive early for your scheduled time slot to allow ample time for the hayride to the village and to explore the shops before entering The Village.
- Dress in layers and wear comfortable, waterproof footwear, as the terrain can be uneven, wet, or muddy, especially during the hayride and walk through the village.
- Consider purchasing tickets for a 'Prime Night' if you prefer a potentially less crowded experience, though 'Non-Prime Nights' offer a more budget-friendly option.
- Take advantage of the on-site ATM and be prepared to use cash or card at the charming shops for unique holiday gifts and decor.
