Insider tip: Mornings are the best time of the day to visit as we generally don't allow school groups and guest visitation is lower. Arriving when we first open is the best way to avoid crowds, though keep in mind this is just a guide.

Admission
There are many activities at Confreda's Fall Festival. General Admission is $15 per person online, or $17 at the gate, and children 2 and under are free. It covers the whole festival for the day — the hayride, the Corn MAiZE, the amusement rides and the animal barnyard. We also sell a Season Pass at $39.95 and a Family Four Pack at $59.95. Admission into the Pumpkin Patch is free but you take the hayride to get to the pumpkin patch. Pumpkins are priced by size. For all ticket options and current pricing See Pricing.
The Ticket booth is located at the park entrance near our rear parking lot.
Parking
Parking is free at Confreda's Fall Festival. We have two parking lots that fit up to 800 cars. Our first parking lot is the one you will enter upon arrival, this is for the Farm Market & Garden Center only. If you follow the left side of our Farm Market there is our larger parking lot for the Fall Festival. On busy days, you'll be directed where to park so please DO NOT park on the street or in the front lot.
As you can imagine, weekends before and after Columbus Day weekend are our busiest time, with most arrivals happening from 11am - 3pm. When our parking area reaches capacity, guests often choose to park on the side of the road outside the Farm Market entrance. This is not something we advise. If you visit on an off-peak day, you are generally able to just park where you find a spot inside the gates.
Restroom Facilities
Our rural setting doesn't lend itself to all the comforts of home. City water and sewer do not reach the farm and septic tanks are impractical so you will find Port-o-Johns instead. A little hand sanitizer and some "just-in-case" pocket tissues make for good companions. Please be conscientious of other guests and help us keep these areas clean.
Dog Policy
We know dogs are members of the family but we are unable to allow them during our Fall Festival. We are a real working farm which at times can be an issue for most pets.
We do allow properly trained service animals. Please expect to bring and present the proper documentation upon entrance of the Hayride, Pumpkin Patch, Corn Maze & Farm Market.
We take dogs left in cars very seriously. Please leave your pooch at home unless someone remains in your air-conditioned car with your dog during your visit. On days when the temperature is 75 degrees, temps in the car can reach 118 degrees - even when the car is parked in the shade with the windows cracked.
Friendly Reminders
We know how much fun it is to explore our scenic farm in the fall and this pleasure is included in the purchase price of all our produce and products. Please keep in mind that this is our family's livelihood and we depend on your purchases to enable us to continue to share this experience with you and future generations.
Confreda's is a working farm so expect to see tractors and employees out and about on the farm. For your family's safety, we ask that you keep children with you at all times and that you adhere to all posted rules. There are designated, fenced-in play areas where you can relax and enjoy the scenery. We ask that you picnic only at the pavilions and tables and not in the fields or play areas.
Group Visits
Confreda's is a great place to bring a group.
- All youth oriented groups (schools, homeschools, youth groups, church groups, scout troops) must register by calling us at 401-827-5000 in order to receive a discount. Field Trip groups on weekends do not receive the educational lesson but should still register with us.
- Groups without children (Tourism Bus Groups, Senior Centers, College Groups, etc.) are asked to contact as before scheduling. Some weekends we are near capacity and cannot offer discounts.
