How to plan:

We have you covered! Our team is dedicated to creating a smooth, fun outing for the field trip. We will organize the event from start to finish – just give us a time frame and let us handle the rest!

What to expect:

Each child will have the opportunity to interact with animals on a guided tour – exploring and enjoying these unique animals in their natural environment!

Our professional tour guides will educate them with interesting facts and stories, while also explaining the importance of these animals. The tour is a 45-minute excursion by tractor-trailer and is sure to be a hit with the kiddos!

Before or after the guided tour, each student and teacher will have the opportunity to interact and pet the animals inside several different petting zoo areas!

We recommend to bring a sack lunch! The group may utilize our huge, shaded picnic area within view of our playful group of lemurs and porcupine pair!

Other Field Trip Details:

  • Organizers will be sent one invoice at the time of the booking. If the number of children attending changes, we will not send another invoice. Please give accurate details at the time of booking.
  • Payment is accepted upon arrival. Acceptable payment may be a school check, cash or credit card.
  • Parents are always welcome to join their children on a field trip here. Parents are charged the school rate for adults and must pay upon arrival. If parents are late for the trip, they are not guaranteed onto the Guided Tour, but they will still pay the entry fee for petting zoo access. Always encourage accompanying parents to be on time, or early.
