- What can I do while I’m there? We recommend doing the bog tour -- at no additional charge -- as soon as you arrive. You'll take a quick bus ride to the bogs we call Frogfoot, then stroll around and listen in as experienced cranberry growers explain the process -- or view the harvest by helicopter (for an additional fee). While there, you can check out the bluegrass music or the birds of prey exhibits, make a bog in a cup, and more. Back in Tihonet Village, the kids will enjoy pony and train rides, you can explore the craft tents, or take a spin around Tihonet Pond in a paddle boat.
- Will it be fun for my kids? We're all about the kids. Children enjoy the rides, face painting, and pumpkin painting, they like the cranberry bog tour and making a bog in a cup, and they're fascinated by the birds of prey.
- Should I bring a camera? Absolutely. We believe there is nothing more beautiful than a crisp blue New England fall sky reflected in the flooded bog where thousands of bright red cranberries are floating.
- Is there a lot of walking? Yes, but we make accommodations for our guests who have trouble with walking. Flag down a member of our staff to get assistance from a golf cart.
- Is it handicap accessible? See above. We are also very proud to have been visited by Kenny's Traveling Wheelchair.
- Is there food available? Our selection of food offerings is unparalleled and unique, with something special to please any palate!
- Can I bring my dog? Sorry, no pets.
- If it rains, will you cancel the event? No -- much of the event is under cover, and the rest will happen rain or shine.
- Are you on Facebook? We sure are! Thanks for asking.
