When you arrive at the farm, each teacher will be given a trolley ride ticket with your class time to ride the trolley to pick a pumpkin. This will be scheduled sometime within your farm visit and takes ~30 minutes.
The rest of your time at the farm can be spent doing the following at your own pace:
*Eating lunch at the picnic tables
*Playing on the swing sets
*Playing on the tube slides
*Jumping on the Jumping Pillow (as our staffing allows)
*Playing in the Corn Pit
*Playing on the Zip Lines
*Taking pictures at our many fall photo opportunities.
*Playing on the various other farm attractions.
Our Sensory-Friendly Field Trip is designed for students who may feel overwhelmed by crowds, loud noises, or busy environments. This special day offers a calm, supportive experience on the farm with smaller groups, lower noise levels, and a slower-paced schedule.
During the visit, students will enjoy:
A teacher-guided farm experience tailored to a quieter, more relaxed environment
A wagon ride to the pumpkin patch to pick a child-size pumpkin (3–5 lbs), included in the cost
Time to explore playgrounds and fall attractions with fewer crowds
We encourage any groups that can benefit from having more teachers/Nurses/PERAs, smaller, and quieter crowds to book their trip during this special 1 day event.
Please instruct Bus Drivers to follow DROP OFF/PICK UP signs upon arrival. These signs will guide buses to the designated drop-off area. For safety reasons, please DO NOT UNLOAD OR LOAD in any location other than the DROP OFF/PICK UP location. Once unloaded, buses can follow signs and park in the OVERSIZE area. Please tell your bus drivers what time to pick your group up in the PICK UP area for departure.
Upon arrival, please gather your group outside of the entrance/exit building. Your group leader should then go to the admissions window to check-in the group, complete payment, and receive stickers. Our farm staff will then greet your group to get your field trip started.

A child’s season pass may not be used for a classroom field trip, Monday through Friday, 9am to 2pm. This is because the cost of the field trip is for lessons and takeaways.
