FAQS:

Is this child-friendly?

This seasonal show aims to delight and amaze, not to scare anyone. Children who are sensitive to a lot of visual and sound stimuli might not be comfortable.

Do you allow strollers/wheelchairs/wagons along the trail?

Guests may use strollers, wheelchairs, and wagons on the exhibit trail. The trail is fully accessible.

How long does it take to walk through?

Once you arrive, make it through the entrance and start your walk, the walk along the trail will take you around 30 minutes if you plan to stop to look at all the lights and décor.

The Rivertown Trail is a public walking trail, why do I have to pay to walk through the display?

The Rivertown Trail closes to the public at dark. Special permission was granted by the Town of Newburgh to allow access to the closed trail after dark for this private fundraiser event.

This is outside on a walking trail - can I bring my dog?

No. Only service animals are allowed. No other animals are permitted to attend.
