Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Are dogs (or other pets) allowed on site?

A: Unfortunately, no.  While we would love to see all of your furry, feathery, scaly, and otherwise awesome pets, our insurance for special events supersedes park regulations and we are unable to allow anything but certified service animals on site.  Also, we would never get any work done, because we love animals.

Q: Can I wear my sword, dagger, other weapon-type-thing?

A: Yes, but we require period appropriate weapons to be sheathed and peace-tied for the safety of our guests.  No modern weapons are allowed for our special event.
​
Q:  Can we dress up?

A:  Yes!  We would love to see your outfits and enjoy the creativity of our guests!

Q: Is there an ATM on site?
 
A: Yes!  We have an ATM company set up a mobile unit at the park for the event.   

Front Gate, several vendors, and Tavern Area are CASH Only! We will have ATM's on site!
