Additional Information
**Please be on time** Drivers are unable to accommodate your entire tour if you are late.
What if it rains or snows? Carriage covers are available for rain and heavy snow.
Will I get cold? Blankets and heated seats are available for cold weather temps.
Why book ahead vs. take a walk-up ride at the park? Pre-arranging guarantees availability, allows for carriage-ride customization, and ensures that you will get the ride that you want. All of our drivers are licensed and insured. We strive to provide you with the best customer service experience possible.
Is the walk-up price different? Prices for pre-arranged carriage rides are based on the standard walkup rates plus an advanced reservation booking fee. Walk-up rides without a reservation are $63.70 for up to 20 mins, plus tip. For each additional 10 minutes or fraction thereof, add $25.48.
During the Holiday Season high season prices apply to pre-arranged Horse & Carriage rides. Walk-up prices stay the same. The 30 minute rides are not available during these dates.
For marriage proposals: Please add 15 mins extra if you want to get out of the carriage to propose (45 minute rides only). Due to route specifics, 30 minute rides are not available for marriage proposals that require a stop to get out of the carriage.
Gratuity: Tip is not included in the rate. Please remember to tip your driver.
Cancellation Policy: All sales are final. Gift Certificates will be issued for refunds. Early same day cancellations will incur a $50 cancellation penalty. Gift Certificates will not be issued for last hour cancellations.
