Join Us for Rutgers Day at Happy Day Farm!

Calling all Rutgers alumni, families, and friends—come celebrate the arrival of fall at the
alumni-owned Happy Day Farm! This year’s farm festivities feature a corn maze tribute
to the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army.

Check-in: 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Hours of Operation: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (last entry at 4 p.m)

Thanks to Prudential, our Rutgers Alumni Insurance Program partner, the discounted
ticket price is $20 per person (over 25% off!).
Children 1 year old and under are
admitted for free.

Your admission includes access to over 35 thrilling attractions where you can:
• Race pedal cars against your friends
• Test your strength on the hi-striker
• Feel the wind in your hair on the Fun Slide
• Stroll through blooming sunflower and zinnia fields
• Visit Pumpkinville, a fall-themed mini village perfect for kids
...and enjoy much more fall fun for all ages

Wear your Rutgers gear and reconnect with fellow alumni while enjoying the very best
of the fall season.

Parking is free. Food concessions will be available on-site. Pumpkin picking is available
to guests at an additional cost. Please bring cash if you plan to pick pumpkins, as credit
cards will not be accepted by the Happy Day Farm staff.

This is a rain-or-shine event. Due to uneven terrain, wheelchair accessibility may
not be possible. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes/boots.
Registration will go live later this summer.
