Handicap Accessibility

This event takes place in our farm fields.  The roads to get to those fields are packed dirt, gravel or grass.  There is an extensive amount of walking required to visit the sunflower fields.  Wheelchairs, scooters, etc are welcome in the field, but we cannot guarantee accessibility to the whole field.  There will be no transportation offered to visitors by farm staff to access the farm or fields.

If your mobility is limited, we encourage you to visit the farm on Tuesday August 8th, 2023 for our Limited Mobility Day.   Due to heavy pedestrian traffic at this event, we cannot allow vehicles to drive to the tent or fields on any other day. 

*In the past we have offered golf cart rides to those with mobility issues.  That cart will not be available this year.  Please plan accordingly.

Limited Mobility Day

Due to logistics, we have moved this event to Tuesday August 8, 2023 during our variety garden open dates.

Yes, weekend admission is $12 per person ages 13 and older and $10 for persons ages 5-12.  Weekday admission is $8 per person ages 13 and older and $6 per person ages 5-12.  4 yrs & Under is free.  Seniors (65+) and Military are children's price.  We donate 10% of the total profits to preselected local charities at the end of the festival.

Can I bring my well behaved dog to the sunflower field?

 

No, pets are not allowed on the property.

Can I bring my emotional support animal to the farm?

Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the Americans with Disabilities Act.  Coppal House Farm requires guests to leave pets at home to provide a safer and more positive experience for all attendees, including those pets.

 

Service animals are defined as working animals trained to perform tasks for the benefit of individuals with physical or mental disabilities- such as guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, alerting and projecting people prone to seizures , or other tasks directly related to a disability and are welcome at Coppal House Farm.

Are your farm and the sunflower fields handicap accessible?

Yes, for the most part it is.  Our paths in the sunflower field are certainly wide enough to allow wheelchairs through, but you would need assistance in pushing it.  Plan accordingly, please remember that this is an outside event with uneven terrain that requires a significant amount of walking.  You are always welcome to call ahead prior to your visit to discuss your needs.

No!  You can Click Here to purchase tickets online, or you can purchase admission when you arrive at the farm for your visit.  Online tickets available starting June 15th.

How do I know if the farm has reached capacity?

While we have never had this happen, but we have been very busy...We will post on our website home page as well as on Facebook if we have to close the farm for any reason and when it has reopened.

If I can't make it to the festival during the scheduled dates, can I come see the sunflowers another time?

Yes you can!  While we plan the festival dates for the best blooming period of our large oil seed sunflower field, we have a sprawling display garden filled with many sunflower varieties that is scheduled to bloom during the festival and will also be open from August 8 - August 13!  For more information see our Sunflower Variety Garden page.  Part of our Sunflower Variety Garden will also be in bloom from our Corn Maze opening weekend (Sept 2-4, 2023) through September 17th, 2023.
