Reservations for 2024 school field trips are now being scheduled. Typically, we can accommodate up to 9 classes (about 250 students), however through customized scheduling we can create a rotation that allows for more groups. We do limit the number to less than 9 groups during the Fall Break which is observed by most local schools October 7-11.
Field trips can be scheduled from September 23 through October 31. Advanced registration is required.
Most schools schools choose to visit between 9am and 1 pm, but adjustments can be made as needed to accommodate your school's schedule and travel time. Field trips can begin as early as 8am and conclude as late at 2pm. Eastern time is observed and used on all schedules. Most schools bring sack lunches for the students to eat while at the farm. If desired, meals may be ordered in advance through our Snack Shack or one of the food trucks.
Field trip packages entitle each student an admission to Sprigg's Playland and Petting Zoo. Plus, he or she gets to go on a 20 minute hayride (unless guidelines prohibit), take a barrel train ride, hand feed the gentle farm animals and take home a field trip size pumpkin. With engaging educational and recreational attractions, Crawford Farms is sure to create a memorable experience for teachers and students alike.
Schools may choose to arrive at the following times (Eastern Time):
8:00am, 8:20am, 8:40am, 9:10am or 9:30am. It is important to arrive 20 minutes before your first station as shown in the example above to assemble by class, go over instructions, be escorted to your first stop and allow time for parents to pay admission if not collected by the school.
ATTRACTION STATIONS:
NOTE: If more than nine classes from one school are attending on a given day, the above stations will be subdivided differently.
*Pedal cart and tricycle courses as well as the Twister Corn Maze are not included in most field trips. Schools bringing students grades 6-12 may opt for the 4 acre Twister Scavenger Hunt Corn Maze if requested in advance. This is assuming adequate chaperones are brought and it is understood some other attractions geared toward younger students will be taken off the schedule. Depending on the number of students, the larger pedal carts may be available for these older groups.

The 20 minute hayride utilizes a fully enclosed trailer that maximizes both safety and visibility. We cross the Old Hodgenville/Etown Road (Hwy. 210) and travel along the grass waterways that wind through the corn fields to the “back forty” of the farm. Riders will pass a tributary to Middle Creek and often see native fauna such as hawks, deer, turtles, turkeys and ducks.

As an added bonus, all field trips now include the barrel train ride that are sure to keep the kids giggling, smiling and making farm animal noises. Students are shuttled in our custom made barrel train cars that are crafted to look like farm animals and are pulled with a garden tractor.
Students on Crawford Farms field trips will learn about Agri-Tourism, Animal Care, Nature and the Environment, and of course pumpkins. To maximize the experience, students are kept in small class size groups as they rotate through attractions. Sack lunches brought from school or home can be eaten in our barn at assigned times or if scheduled in advance, meals may be ordered through one of our food vendors or Crawford Farms Snack Shack.
*It is the teacher's responsibility to determine an accurate estimate of students, staff, parents and siblings that will attend and provide this information at least three days prior to field trip. Also, teachers are asked to bring plastic grocery sacks with kids names already printed on them to facilitate the pumpkin picking station. Any additional produce or other products from the Barnyard Marketplace may be purchased directly from a Crawford Farms associate while visiting the farm.
