    Things to know

    Please arrive at the Red Barn at least 5 minutes before your scheduled departure time. Tours run rain or shine and may be delayed or suspended in extreme heat for animal safety.

    Cancellation Policy

    Group carriage tickets may be canceled or rebooked up to 1 hour before the tour begins with no penalties. Within 1 hour there are no refunds offered for cancellations and a $25 fee may apply for rebookings.

    FAQs

    Parking is limited in the downtown area near the barn, so please plan ahead and allow ample time to find parking before your carriage tour.

    Tours run rain or shine, but in the rare case the event is canceled, ticket-holders are allowed to reschedule to another time (subject to availability). Tours may also be delayed during extremely hot temperatures or suspended if the temperature or heat index reaches an unsafe level.
