I see purchasing your ticket in advance is cheaper than at the door, why is that?
We want to encourage folks to purchase your ticket in advance so we can get a better count of how many guests (make sure we have enough pumpkins, and our food vendors can plan for food). Plus, it helps us to make sure we are keeping room for everyone to be safe and have enough space. The online ticketing program asks you to select an arrival time to help us gauge traffic flow, but your tickets will be accepted any time during the day. Thank you for reserving your spot in advance!
***If you find you cannot make the day you purchased, please call 719-488-0880, we can help move your date to a future day.
Are pumpkins included in the cost of our ticket?
NO. Pumpkins are a separate purchase. You may enjoy our Miners' Pumpkin Patch WITHOUT purchasing a pumpkin, OR you may purchase as many pumpkins as you would like. If you purchase pumpkins online in advance, you will receive a "token" at check in to redeem for the pumpkin of your choice.
Please keep in mind, prices may fluctuate later in the season due to variations in market prices. (Pumpkins are priced $1 less if you purchase ahead online)
Is Museum admission included in our ticket?
NO. Museum admission is a separate fee... but as our thank you for supporting WMMI at the Miners' Pumpkin Patch, we will give you a "Buy One Get One Free" offer to the museum to use THAT day, or another day of your choice. Thank you for supporting your local, non-profit museum.
How long should we plan to stay?
That depends! There are lots of games and activities, and opportunities for exploring our 27 acre campus. Make sure you take some photos, maybe get lunch, or a treat. Or, if you just want to grab your pumpkin and go...you can do that too! (But we would suggest you plan about 2 hours for the outdoor events, machine demonstrations and gold panning)
Will we need additional money?
Your admission gives you full access to all games and demonstrations. You may purchase your pumpkins in advance and you will receive a token to use to "pay" for your pumpkin. You CAN absolutely enjoy a full day and leave without spending any additional money.
However....we do have food trucks, face painters, and a farmers market that would all require additional purchases. Our Museum Rock n' Gift Shop, is also open. Credit Cards are accepted as well as cash.
Thank you for your support, this is our primary fundraiser of the year. We do appreciate our community!
Can we reserve a time for our team or group?
Yes you can!!! Contact Hunter for full details---the Pumpkin Patch makes a GREAT group event! 719-488-0880 or Rentals@wmmi.org
If you have any other questions, please feel free to call the museum at 719-488-0880 or email us at info@wmmi.org
Excellent museum. Highly recommended. Great 10AM tour guide. Turned on many machines that made me travel back in time. They have super large machines from the 1880s or so, the one I appreciated most was the Edison Dynamo.
