Parent Field Trip Information
We can't wait to welcome you and your child to 4D FAMILY farm!
To insure that you have the best day possible, we want to give you as much information as possible, so you won't have to worry about surprises on pricing or what is offered on the day of your trip. We will do this in the form of a little Q and A?
Do you allow siblings on the day of the field trip? We follow the rules of the school. If they've asked for students only, we have only reserved those spots. For everyone to have an AMAZING experience, we ask that you not bring extras. If everyone were to do this, it would be many more than intended.
Do parent's pay the school or farm? You will purchase your tickets on-site and you will enter the farm and wait for your child's arrival. We ask that you not wait in the parking lot as this makes it difficult for the teachers and busses. We will have a designated meeting location for your school.
Do you allow outside food? Yes! Students bring sack lunches and we have a limited number of concessions open for parents. We have had the occasional parent upset when an item is unavailable, if you have specific dietary needs to preferences on field trip days, we suggest you bring it with you. Again, we do not offer every food item that is offered on the weekend.
Do parents get a pumpkin? Pumpkins can be a super big deal! We know you want a pumpkin afterall, you are at a pumpkin patch. With that said, we do not offer them for free. They aren't free to us and take a ton of work to grow. We do gift each student a small field trip size pumpkin. If you would like a pumpkin included in your admission, let us know and we can offer you a pumpkin ticket as an additional purchase. To keep prices affordable, we just don't include this for everyone.
Why do you not offer all attractions on field trips? We discount our prices to reflect activites offered. Some activities aren't offered for safety reasons and some, we just don't feel like its a good idea due to some groups having limited chaperones. Again, this is reflected in the price of admission. We invite you to return on the weekend and enjoy all we have to offer. IF you feel this is something you'd like to do, purchase a discounted weekend pass before you leave. These may be purchased only for those attending the day of the trip.
What are the hours of our field trip? Field trips are held 9-1. We ask that you plan your day around these times as our staff may have other jobs and need to leave on time.
What if its Friday, can we stay? If you would like to stay for our public opening, just head to admissions and upgrade your ticket. You will then be able to participate in activities not offered during field trip times.
Do you allow pets? I'm sorry, for the safety of all children and our animals, we do not allow outside pets.
My child got sick, can I use my field trip ticket for public hours? We can't allow field trip tickets to be used on public days but we are happy to upgrade those for you.
Do parents need to purchase a ticket if we are only watching? We charge general admission so everyone that enters must pay. While you may not participate in all attractions, we do hope that you enjoy our facilities and the memories you make....the memories are priceless.
What is NOT available? We do not offer amusement/mechanical rides, tubing slide, or unlimited ziplines? We offer all kiddos one ride on the zipline. Some activities are extra such as paintball, apple cannons, gem mining, and orbeez battlefield. Depending on the number of students attending, we don't always open extra charge activities.
​Do you offer gift shop items? Yes, we offer lots of yummy treats, candy, homemade fudge, and have an exit tent with lots of merchandise such as tshirts, games, and stuffed animals.
Do you have a list of food items available? Yes, visit our food page for a list of menus. Remember, every location will not be open. However, we always open Maybelle's, Barnyard Treats, and Farmhouse. We also normally have our pizza location open unless its just a very small group.
