Question 1

Do I have to buy tickets online?

Accepted Answer

You'll save $5 per ticket if you purchase online. Tickets are sold both online and in-person, when available. If we haven't sold out online for the day, we still sell tickets in-person. Buying ahead online is the best way to guarantee your entry, but is not required if we have not hit capacity.

Question 2

I'm running late for my ticket time. What do I do?

Accepted Answer

We can't wait to see you! Your ticket has a 30 minute arrival window. We ask that you stick to your time to help us control the flow of guests. If you're early or late, we won't turn you away, but please be patient as we work to get all of our guests checked in as quickly as possible.

Question 3

Can I take an Uber/Lyft to the farm?

Accepted Answer

Our farm is located in a rural part of Frederick County, MD. Ride share services like Uber, Lyft, and taxis are often unavailable or unreliable in our area.

Question 4

How long should I plan to spend at the farm?

Accepted Answer

On average, the ideal amount of time to spend on our farm is 4-5 hours. Your ticket is valid from the time you enter until we close. You may come in and out of the farm with your wristband.

Question 5

What happens if it rains?

Accepted Answer

Our goal is to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for all guests. We do adjust our hours accordingly for weather events. The decision to be open or closed is made day-by-day depending upon the conditions at the farm. An announcement regarding any closures will be made at least 2 hours before opening. Please check our Facebook page, Instagram, website homepage, or call our voicemail for updates on conditions or closings. Magnolia Meadow Farms reserves the right to close any area or the entire farm due to weather or unsafe conditions.

If the farm closes on a day where you have pre-purchased tickets online and you have NOT redeemed them yet, those tickets will be eligible for redemption on any other day/time for the remainder of the season.

If you have a Private Campfire reservation on a day we close, a farm manager will contact you by the phone number or email listed on your reservation. Rain dates cannot be given at the time of booking, but rescheduling is possible if open time slots are available. If rescheduling isn't an option, a full refund will be issued.

During any unexpected rainy or damp weather, we try to keep as many attractions open as we can. Remember that it is your decision to visit the farm on days with possible inclement weather. Your wristband is valid for the entire day should you choose to leave and come back. If the farm closes after you have redeemed admission for the day and entered the farm, refunds or rain checks will NOT be issued. Please check the weather before purchasing or redeeming your admission and plan accordingly.

Question 6

Are pets allowed?

Accepted Answer

Pets, including emotional support animals, are NOT allowed on the premises and will be asked to leave. This is for your safety, and the safety of our guests and our farm animals. ADA service animals are welcome at Magnolia Meadow Farms. All service animals must remain physically controlled at all times while at the farm. Service animals are limited to one animal per guest. Guests whose service animal demonstrates aggressive actions toward our guests, animals, or employees may be directed to remove the animal from the farm.

Question 7

Is your farm stroller accessible? What about wheelchairs?

Accepted Answer

Our farm is a real working farm and doesn't have pavement--mostly grass and gravel. Strollers and wheelchairs are welcome! We have many guests who do so and are able to enjoy our farm. Just know that the ground can be bumpy and uneven. Strollers and wheelchairs aren't able to go on the hayride wagons.

Question 8

Is outside food allowed?

Accepted Answer

We offer a large variety of hot and cold food choices when you visit us on the farm. Food stands are open when the farm is open unless otherwise noted. Magnolia Meadow Farms is proud to partner with The Farmhouse Exchange to offer delicious, farm fresh meals, drinks, sweets, snacks and more. While outside food is permitted, picnic and seating areas are reserved for guests purchasing food from the farm. If you have an allergy or dietary restriction, please review our menu and inform a staff member so that we can do our best to accommodate you.

Is smoking allowed?

Accepted Answer

Smoking is not allowed inside any area of the farm. Smoking is allowed in our parking lot.

Question 14

What can I feed to the animals?

Feed cups can be purchased at the Ticket windows and Market. Hand washing stations are located outside of the barn at both ends of the animal area. Please wash your hands after petting or feeding any animal and before eating. Read all signs posted and do not stick your hand inside any animal's mouth.

Do you allow photographers?
