First things First - Have you booked your bussing yet? Every visit to the Farmyard starts with a phone call your school's transport company. Please book early as bussing does fill up.

The week prior to your school field trip, we'll reach out to finalize your itinerary and address any last-minute inquiries. Your time at the farm includes two guided 20-minute sessions on plants and animals, along with a 15-minute tractor wagon ride. For groups with multiple classes, we'll organize you into smaller groups for these activities. We have a ton of additional attractions that you are free to explore the farm at your leisure for the remainder of your visit. Please click here to view our farm attractions: Spring visit, Fall Visit
