Plan weekend visits for off-peak times of the season, such as September or November weekends. Members often receive coupons for these off-peak weekends, especially Preview Weekend and Pumpkin Madness Weekend. In 2012, Fall Festival admission on four of the seven festival weekends (Sept. 22-23, Sept. 29-30, Oct 27-28, Nov 3-4) has decreased by $1. Admission has increased on the middle three weekends (Oct 6-8, Oct 13-14, Oct 20-21), so schedule your visit accordingly for the best value!
