We have an 18-person minimum for hayride tours. Deposit: A non-refundable deposit of $140 is required for groups of 25 or more at the time the reservation is made. A non-refundable deposit of $70 is required for groups of fewer than 25 at the time the reservation is made. ***A minimum of $70 is required to schedule a tour.** The deposit guarantees your date and time slot. The remaining balance due for the tour is payable in full prior to the tour on the scheduled tour date. We accept cash, check, VISA or MasterCard. IMPORTANT TOUR INFORMATION: Arrival and Check-in: Groups should arrive 15 MINUTES prior to the tours scheduled start time. The adult in charge must check in at the Education & Activities Office, located next to the bus parking lot.
The remaining balance for the entire group is payable in full prior to the tour on the scheduled tour date. Smolak Farms tour guides are asked to count heads on the wagons and if there is a discrepancy, the adult in charge of the group must return to the office. If a late start occurs due to balance discrepancies, the tour may be condensed, so please keep an accurate count of your group. There are no exceptions. We accept cash, check, VISA or MasterCard.
Late Arrivals:
Due to the large number of groups who reserve tours and the busy fall schedule, late arrivals or late starts caused by groups may result in condensed or shortened tours.
Cancellations:
Cancellations by a group will result in the loss of the full deposit. Smolak Farms reserves the right to cancel any tour due to severe weather conditions.
Should cancellation by Smolak Farms be necessary, we will notify your tour's contact person by approximately 7:30am on the day of the tour. In this situation, we will try to reschedule the tour. If this is not possible, a full refund of the deposit will be issued. Weather, Appropriate Dress and Facilities: Please note that tours do go out rain or shine, except in severe weather conditions. All of our hay wagons are covered. Please have the children wear appropriate clothing, e.g., boots, raincoats, hats, jackets, mittens, etc. We also recommend that everyone wear closed-toed shoes. Unfortunately, we cannot accomodate wheelchairs or strollers on the wagons. Portable toilets are available on the farm premises.
Picnic tables are available for paying customers and tour groups, and we encourage you to visit our farm stand for refreshments. Thank you for choosing Smolak Farms! If you have any questions, please contact the Education and Activities Office at 978-687-4029 or smolakfarmstours@aol.com.
