Schedule a Group Visit
What Waterman's Farm Considers a "Group"
Three or more individuals who are members of an organization, such as a school, day care center, Scout troop, church group, etc. The critical point is that ONE PERSON PAYS FOR THE WHOLE GROUP. If more than one person pays, you will be charged individually and will not receive the group rate.
The charge for an October group visit to our farm is $3 per child. Included for this price are:
- A hayride to the pumpkin patch where child selects one small pumpkin to take home.
- Narration while on the hayride which includes information about our farm, its history, our role in food production and information about how pumpkins grow
- Enjoying Tyranny, our pumpkin-eating dinosaur, who roars as she chomps on a pumpkin and explains the nutritional value of pumpkins
- Opportunity to climb on our giant straw pile
- Chance to crawl through our strawbale maze which is dark and has deadends in it.
- Chance to walk through any or all of our 3 cornfield mazes
- The first maze is designed with preschoolers in mind as it involves simply following a trail
- The second maze is more difficult as it involves making decisions about whether to go to the left or right or forward or backward
- The third maze involves the same decision-making but it is longer and more complicated than the second one
- Opportunity to ride the tricycles on our tricycle trail
- Opportunity to dig in the sand with our child-operated backhoes
- A visit with the farm animals
Available at additional charge:
- Pony rides for $2 per child
- Make a scarecrow to take with you for $10 if the group designs the head from materials that we supply or $15 or $20 if the group selects and artist-created head. All materials for the scarecrow are supplied.
There is no charge for the adults who accompany the children on a group visit as we value their superivison of the children. Pumpkins may be purchased by the accompanying adults at the same price as other customers pay.
