- Can I bring a stroller or a wagon? Yes! We have a paved sidewalk throughout the Village. You are welcome to take the strollers and wagons inside the buildings (each one has a ramp entrance), and we ask that you are mindful about the spaces inside when driving the stroller or wagon through. Changing tables are available in General Store restrooms, and we have quite spaces through the Village if needed.

All buildings have wheelchair-accessible entryways. Buildings are connected by a wide paved pathway. Wheelchair-accessible restrooms are available inside the Old Tory Church.

- Can I bring my dog? Only service animals are allowed at the Village. We strive to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable, so please leave your pets at home.
- How long does it take to go through the Village? The average time to go through the Village is about 1 hour depending on how much time you spend playing games.
- Does the Village close when it rains? No! You can still visit us if it is raining! Remember the Village is a collection of buildings, so we suggest bringing an umbrella to keep you dry as you walk between buildings, but otherwise you will be inside the whole time. We do monitor the weather and are aware of severe weather threats and will adjust our programs as necessary.
