Wachusett’s 35th Annual KidsFest is still a weekend full of fantastical encounters! Don’t worry about the weather forecast — We’re serving our best cozy Fall vibes and big fun inside the lodge this weekend.
You can still enjoy a full day of magic & circus performances, live animal shows, roaming entertainment, kids’ contests, and more are all included with your ticket! Stay dry, warm, and have a blast. See below for full schedule.
Ride the train and leave cabin fever behind! Our shuttle will meet the 11:51 AM MBTA Commuter Rail train at Wachusett Station, departing North Station at 10:15 AM. Return transportation will leave the festival at 4:00 PM in time for the 4:25 PM train. View the train schedule here. Reserve your shuttle seat below for $5 per person—you’ll receive the full $5 back as a voucher to use during the festival!
