DO I NEED TO BUY TICKETS IN ADVANCE?

Tickets can be purchased online at any time or at our gate on the day of your visit. Buying online is convenient and saves time, especially on busy fall weekends—no waiting in line! You can print your tickets or show them on your phone at entry. Plus, online ticket purchases come with an added bonus: redeem them in September for $5 off mums, or in October for one free pumpkin!

ARE TICKETS REFUNDABLE OR TRANSFERRABLE?

All tickets are non-refundable. Lost in the Valley tickets are not date-specific and may be used on any date within the same season. Dazed in the Maze tickets ARE date specific and must be redeemed on the date specified on the ticket purchased.

DO CHILDREN NEED TICKETS

Yes, everyone entering the corn maze and pumpkin patch needs a ticket. Children under 2 are free, making it an affordable way to bring little ones along. Babies in carriers count as free as well.

ARE DOGS/ANIMALS ALLOWED?

Dogs are not allowed except during our special Paws in the Patch events. Please check our event schedule for these dates if you wish to bring your furry friend.

HOW MUCH ARE PUMPKINS?

Pumpkins are $5 each. We have thousands to choose from, featuring a wide variety of sizes and types—from classic orange carving pumpkins to decorative gourds and specialty varieties. Pick as many as you'd like!

HOW BIG IS THE CORN MAZE AND PUMPKIN PATCH?

Our corn maze spans 12 acres, making it the largest in the area, and offers a fun challenge for all skill levels. The pumpkin patch covers 7 acres and is bursting with pumpkins in every size and variety you can imagine. Plan for 45 minutes to 2 hours depending on how thoroughly you explore.

ARE RESTROOMS AVAILABLE?

Yes! Restrooms are available throughout the property. We have porta-potties conveniently located in the courtyard and stationed throughout the maze, so you're never too far from a facility. This makes it easy to take a break without having to exit the maze completely. We recommend hand sanitizer as a backup, but you'll have access to what you need while you explore!

CAN WE BRING OUTSIDE FOOD OR DRINKS?

Outside food and drinks are not permitted in the maze and pumpkin patch areas. However, we make it easy to refuel with our on-site concession stand offering a variety of food and drinks, plus a market stocked with seasonal fall treats. Whether you're grabbing a quick snack between maze attempts or picking up cider, caramel corn, or other autumn favorites, we've got you covered. It's a great way to enhance your Lost in the Valley experience!

IS PARKING FREE?

Yes all parking is free!

ARE STROLLERS AND WHEELCHAIRS ACCESSIBLE IN THE MAZE AND PUMPKIN PATCH?

Our corn maze and pumpkin patch feature natural, uneven terrain that may be difficult to navigate with strollers or wheelchairs. For families with young children, we suggest baby carriers or backpacks. We're happy to discuss individual accessibility needs—please reach out to us at 701-282-2200 or info@redrivervalleyfair.com, and we'll work with you to make your visit as enjoyable as possible.

DO YOU OFFER GROUP RATES OR SCHOOL FIELD TRIPS?
