The Special Access Tour is a limited-capacity, behind-the-scenes experience at Fitz’s Fish Ponds, where guests explore koi facilities, holding systems and operations that are not typically open to the public.

Both packages include access to the same areas of the farm; however, the premium package offers a one-on-one koi buying experience and the ability to request your preferred guide. The Koi Fest team will do their best to accommodate all guide requests.

Our farm is stocked with thousands of high-quality Japanese koi across a wide range of varieties, sizes and price points. If you are searching for something specific, you’ll have the opportunity to share your preferences after registration.
