Suggestions for a successful visit
Only three adults (chaperones and teachers) will be allowed on the tour with the students.
This policy is strictly enforced for the benefit of our educators and to allow for a positive learning experience for the students.
Groups will be expected to follow their schedule and be on time for both the tours and hayrides.
We operate on a tight schedule and any delay greatly effects other groups.
Groups are required to clean up after themselves. Please leave the picnic areas as neat as you found them.
