Fall Drive-thru
The Carter Mountain drive-thru is available on select fall weekends as an alternative to ticketed entry. An entry ticket is not required for the drive-thru.
When you drive up the mountain, follow the signs for our drive-thru. Stay in your car to order. We’ll load up your purchases, and you’ll be good to go!
Please note that we’re unable to accept cash in the drive-thru. Please be prepared to pay by card or with Apple Pay/Google Pay.
We’re happy to accept pre-orders with advance notice. To pre-order, please call 434-977-1833. Credit card payment by phone is required to pre-order.
