Have a question? We've got answers. Please read on for some of our most frequently asked questions.
What's at the farm?
Phillips Farms is made up of two main areas: Phillips' Pavilion and Busbee's Fall Market (directly adjacent to our parking lot), and our Fall Family Fun Park (includes the park, Haunted attractions, sunflower field, and corn maze).
The Pavilion and Fall Market are free to enter, and Gemstone Mining is located just outside of the Pavilion. Gemstone Mining is a separate activity from the fun park and carries its own fee.
There is a general admission fee to enter the Fall Family Fun Park.

Is There Food?
Yes! Phillips Farms has several options for hungry visitors and foodies alike. From low and slow smoked authentic BBQ by Dampf Good BBQ, to fresh brioche donuts by Local Donuts NC, to our concession stands and food trucks, there's truly something for everyone and every age.
Will Kids of All Ages Have Something to Do?
Yes! We're parents too, and understand the challenges of finding a place to spend the day where everyone - seniors, adults, kids, and babies - will be comfortable. Our toddler town and corn box are the perfect place for little ones to play, while some activities like our roller racers and swings may be better for older children. See the full list of our Fall Park activities here!
What Happens If It Rains?
The Park does not offer ticket refunds due to inclement weather. If it's safe to be outside, we'll be there and hope you'll join us, too.
What Should We Wear?
The Park is fully outdoors, so dress accordingly. Comfortable walking shoes for everyone are highly suggested. Most of the grounds are navigable for strollers, and we have added paved walkways between the parking area and entrance to the fun park for additional accessibility.
Is the Park Pet Friendly?
Only certified service animals are permitted in the park. No exceptions will be made.
Do You Take Credit Cards?
All activities and concessions past the ticket booth/entrance are cash only (add-ons like the apple cannon launcher, additional mega slide rides, etc.) and there is an ATM on-site.
