The Christmas tree farm tour is listed for school groups
The farm’s home page says its Christmas tree farm tour is available for school groups and must be scheduled in advance. The farm’s booking box says space is limited and reservations are required. The Christmas school tour price is $8 per person, and teachers are admitted free. Booking is by phone or email only, because the farm’s Book Your Tour page has no booking form. The tour page repeats the public Christmas hours and gives no separate tour dates.
The farm lists nine features under its tour. The pages describe them for school groups and do not say whether any of them is open to ordinary visitors who come to buy a tree, or whether any admission applies to them, so public access at Christmas is not stated for any feature below.
| Feature | What the farm says |
|---|---|
| Tree field walking tour | Explore the field of Christmas trees with students while learning about the care and growth of the trees |
| Petting zoo | Complete with ponies, donkeys, goats and pigs |
| Hayride, weather permitting | A tractor pulls the hayride through the field around the pond to the petting area |
| Playgrounds | A large playground with six see-saws and a skidder tire play area, and a large wooden swing set with two slides |
| Picnic area | A large picnic area with seating for approximately 120 students |
| Farm animal barrel train | Sure to be a favorite ride |
| Corn maze | Take a trip through the farm’s corn maze |
| Giant caterpillar swing | The best swing ever |
| Hay maze and hay tower | Listed as a hay maze and humongous hay tower, with no description |
The pumpkin patch is a separate fall season
The farm runs a pumpkin patch from October 1 to November 1, with its own admission, and it ends before the tree farm opens. Its zipline, horse rides and concession stand belong to that fall admission and are not listed for Christmas. The farm’s Facebook page gives the pumpkin season as October 1 to November 1.
The farm’s pumpkin-season prices are not part of a tree visit, so they are not repeated here.
