We strive to ensure that each and every one of our guests have the best possible experience when they visit Summers Farm. With that in mind, we are pleased to offer Sensory Friendly Hours exclusively for guests on the autism spectrum or with other sensory sensitivities. During this time, we welcome these families to enjoy the farm in a sensory modified setting with no music, fewer crowds, and less waiting in line.
Some details to keep in mind:
-Regular weekend admission rates apply.
-Guests joining us for the Sensory Friendly Hours are welcome to stay and continue to enjoy the farm after we open to the public at 10am.
-Apple Blasters and Corn Cribs will not be available.
-If a member of your family has special dietary restrictions, you may bring your own drinks and snacks.
Please note that we are NOT open to the general public until 10am on these days. We ask that you respect these families and allow them this time to enjoy the farm on their own.
