Frequently Asked Questions

Since capacity is very limited we will sell out most nights, so walk-ups could be turned away once we reach capacity.  As with any of our events parking can take up to 1 hour. The objective for us is to make an evening where you get in quickly and have fun with the whole family participating in the activities.  While having fun out on the farm you are actually waiting in line to see Santa, the Grinch, and the Train ride by using virtual queue line technology.  What an idea!  DON’T WAIT PARTICIPATE

The $20 is to purchase the first 6×8 photo and photo frame of either Santa or the Grinch.  This photo session is for the whole family, not per person.  Walk-ups photo sessions are very limited and will sell out.  There is NO CHARGE to see Santa or the Grinch, the $20 is for one photo and frame.  All additional photos are $15, you can also purchase all the photos for a digital download for $45.

Kersey Valley loves our veterans and donated over $30,000 in FREE tickets through the website www.vettix.org.  We encourage all veterans to sign up on this amazing service to get all kinds of attraction tickets.  Hurry as our events are super popular and tickets don’t last long.    Since our capacity is limited we do not offer any Group Rates.  However, sign up for offers on the homepage as we do email out specials to the list.

We do have handicap parking and the Kersey Valley Express train ride does have an accessible car for wheelchairs.  The pathways throughout the farm are packed with crushed asphalt.  Preferred parking does not have handicapped parking and we suggest using the main lot.  Make sure to tell the parking attendant you need handicapped parking and they will direct you.

$10 per car and $20 charge for a bus.  VIP Parking is $20 across from the main entrance. We prefer cash to speed up the process of getting into the parking lot.

We do not allow photography with Santa or the Grinch, we do allow guests to take photos with all of our other characters roaming about.  Santa and Grinch photos are sold onsite, do not lose the photo pass card we give you as this is the only way to purchase your photos.  We also use a virtual queue system to allow your family to enjoy the farm instead of being stuck in long lines to see Santa, the Grinch, and the train ride.

All of the activities are outdoors, please dress for the conditions.  The only heated areas are Santa’s Workshop and the restrooms.

Food and Beverage Options: Tumbleweeds Grub House, Fudge Shop, Apple Cider Donuts, Carmel Kettle Corn, and Bavarian Nuts. Snack Shack with Smores and Marshmallow Kits for roasting at fire pits.  Hot Chocolate, Coffee, and Pepsi products.

We Are Pet Friendly: Must be on a leash and allowed to visit Santa and the Grinch for photos.  Please use the doggy waste stations and pick up any snow cookies left behind. 🙂

The Kersey Valley Express can carry 104 passengers and the John Deere Wagon rides can carry between 80 and 125 passengers.

Please note: the weather may delay or cancel the train ride, but the wagon rides can operate in light rain.

We are proud to offer state-of-the-art restroom and kitchen facilities that are as nicest you will find around.  Just because we are a farm does not mean you have to live like a pig! 🙂

Well over 1 million lights across the 80-acre farm.

It takes months of planning ahead to organize the event.  Many items have to be ordered in January to arrive on time since many items are made overseas.  We start installing the lights in August to be ready to open the day after Thanksgiving.  We have a team of elves that go crazy and decorate the farm.

The Santa and Grinch photos are 6×8 and include a souvenir photo frame for $20.  Each additional photo is $15 and each additional photo frame is $2.  All Photos can also be downloaded for $45.

Must purchase park admission to see Santa or the Grinch.  Personal photography is not allowed in photo studios.  We require you to join the virtual queue system for Santa, The Grinch, and to ride the train to make your time more enjoyable on the farm.

While you and your family and friends are riding on the Christmas Wagons that go around the farm we have set up Rudolph light displays hiding in the woods.  See if you can find them all by calling out “Rudolph” when you see them.  It’s a throwback to the “Punch Bug” game many of the parents played growing up.
