School Field Trips to Chaloupka Farm

Tips for your Visit
Facilities
We have on the grounds restroom (including handicap/family)
and hand washing facilities.
Clothing
Remember, this is an all outdoor activity on a farm. Dress
accordingly. You'll want to make sure the kiddos have on good walking shoes
and no flip flops or sandals. Sunscreen or hats are also recommended.
Weather
We'll stay open as long as the weather lets us. If it rains,
we may have to close. It's best if you call us before leaving for your trip
to check the weather at the maze.
Water
Please bring plenty of drinking water for your students. We don't
have any water fountains on the premises; however, we do sell bottled water
in the concession stand.
What's included on the Field Trip
The Maze
We'll give you a brief presentation about growing and using
corn before entering the maze. Students are presented with "passports" that
quiz them as they wander the paths and help them along to the exit.

Take a tractor-drawn ride around the farm. It takes you around the farm and dairy and through the freestyle feeding barn. Learn about different milking cows and the dairy business.

You'll enjoy a fun ride on the colorful barrel
train.

patch, corn cannon, duck races, mini dairy barn, flower mini-maze and 10 minutes on the Frog Hopper!
