In case of rain, ALL CARRIAGES HAVE TOPS. This is a rain or shine event.

The price is the same for a couple to ride alone or for a family (up to the maximum number). In order to serve as many in the community as possible, we ask you only reserve one carriage ride this season. Individuals are only allowed to purchase one carriage ride per night. 

Please note when booking: each carriage will have a different maximum capacity. There will be one price per time slot, which will reserve the carriage for your group for a reserved time slot. 

Rides will leave every 20 minutes to allow for carriage loading & unloading. We encourage everyone to arrive at least ten minutes before your departure time.  If you arrive late for your reserved timeslot, we will consider your reservation forfeited. If any of your group is late, the ride will proceed with those in attendance. This event is rain or shine.  No refund will be available. 

Dress warmly in case of cold weather - no blankets will be available in the carriage.
