School Tours
Thousands of school children visit Pumpkin Works through school fieldtrips.
We offer an educational fun tour for classes from September 13th through October 29th.
First fieldtrip at 9am. Special times available at request.
This year we are offering a choice
of four 4 options. Each option will include visiting Petunia Pumpkin,
exploring the Discovery Barn, and picking your own free pumpkin.
We accommodate wheelchairs.
Option A:
Take the hayride through the woods
to Grandpa's Pumpkin Patch, learning about the crops, trees and
wildlife along the way. Trek through three mazes - the corn maze,
open-air pipe maze and a straw maze.
The cost of this two hour tour is $5 per person.
Option B:
Take the hayride across Sugar Creek,
learning about the wetlands. After visiting Uncle Fred's Pumpkin
Patch, hike the .7 mile trail through our Nature Preserve. This
will help the students learn names of trees, as 34 species are
identified. Trek through the corn maze.
The cost of this two hour tour is $5 per person.
Option C:
Enjoy a trek through the corn maze,
the open-air pipe maze, and straw maze. Pick your pumpkin from
the pumpkin yard. The cost of this one hour tour is $4 per person.
As always, admission for teachers,
aides, and bus drivers is free. For parents to receive the same
special price as their child, their fee must be paid by the teacher.
Please collect money prior to your arrival, so
your tour will not be delayed. Plan to arrive a few minutes early.
When your tour guide meets your bus, you should go to the Old Farm House Store to pay for your group.
Our picnic area is on the west side
of the parking lot if you wish to eat here. Buses can park close
to the picnic area. Students may play in the silhouette yard before
or after your tour time.
The Old Farm House Store has several items
ranging in price from 5¢ to $1.00. All of our prices include
tax. Please have a 1-6 ratio when bringing your class into the
store, so students will have the help they need.
Items needed for your trip: medical
supplies for any students with allergies or asthma; a plastic
shopping bag for each student's pumpkin, labeled with a name;
and a camera.
