You will receive an e-mail or fax confirming your field trip reservation and date.

 

Please contact us 3-4 days prior to your field trip with the final headcount of students, teachers, chaperones and additional guests.

 

Have your payment prepared in advance. We strongly encourage payment with a school or personal check to make check-in as quick as possible. Checks should be made out to Lucky Ladd Farms.

 

Even if parents and siblings do no ride the bus, please collect their admission in advance. Failure to do so may cause your group to be delayed.

 
If weather conditions are poor then please call us before canceling your field trip. The weather may be fine here at the farm.

 

Upon Your Arrival:

Arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled field trip. Send one representative to check your group in. Unfortunately, we are not able to extend your field trip time if you are late.

 

Park buses and cars in the designated area. Do not unload children until your representative returns from check-in.

 

You will receive admission packets and special instructions for each teacher upon check-in.

 

Make Your Field Trip Unforgettable!

Plan on staying about 2 hours or longer if you bring a sack lunch for a picnic on the farm. We have a great playground and plenty of educational activities your students will enjoy.

 

Stress to parents the importance of dressing properly. Clothes, shoes and children will get dirty. Depending on weather they may need to wear boots or dress in layers. We strongly discourage any open-toed shoes like flip-flops and sandals.
