Question 2

What is Mainstay Fun Money?

Accepted Answer

Mainstay Fun Money is a great option if you arrive to the farm with cash or you don't want to worry about keeping up with your debit/credit card. We do not accept cash payments on the farm so this is a great way around that. Every guest has the option to obtain a physical Mainstay Farm Card that you can add/load Mainstay Fun Money onto. This physical Mainstay Farm Card can then be used throughout the farm to make purchases at all of our food/drink, merchandise & add-on attraction locations.

How it works:
1. Visit one of the Entrance Gates, The Haymarket or The Wine Truck in order to obtain a physical Mainstay Farm Card.
2. Add your desired amount of money onto the card using cash or a debit/credit card. $1 US Dollar equals 1 Mainstay Fun Money Credit.
3. You can now use this Mainstay Fun Money at any of the locations on the farm to purchase food/drinks, merchandise or add-on attractions.
4. If you run out of Mainstay Fun Money at any point, you can add more money onto your card at any of these 3 locations: Entrance Gates, The Haymarket or The Wine Truck.

Question 4

What's the Texas Big Wheel like?

Accepted Answer

Get ready for a whirlwind of fun! Before you ride here's some tips:

- Our Ferris Wheel has parts made of aluminum. Aluminum reflects sunlight which can attract wasps/bees. Don't worry, the wasps/bees are interested in the sunlight reflected off of the aluminum. NOT you! Our inspectors check daily to ensure no wasp/bee nests are hidden anywhere on our ferris wheel.

FOR YOUR SAFETY:

1. If you are allergic to wasps/bees, you should not ride our Texas Big Wheel.
2. If you have a fear or phobia of the sight of wasps/bees, you should not ride our Texas Big Wheel.
