Reservations for 2023 school field trips conducted September 25-29 and October 16-31 are now being scheduled. Up to four classes per day may be scheduled for October 2-6, but teachers must recognize that many school districts surrounding Hardin County are on Fall Break that week. No field trips are being scheduled for October 9-13. Refer to the Party and Events Page for discounted rates if wanting to bring a group that week. Crawford Farms can accommodate up to 250 students a day from up to 9 classes. To qualify for above rates, at least 20 students from the school must attend the same day. Advanced registration is required.
Most schools arrive at 9am and depart at 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.

ATTRACTION STATIONS:
- Animal Alley Paddocks, Hillside Enclosure and Farm Animal Photo Cut Out for photos.
- The 1 Acre Corn maze is included for 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 will be taken off the schedule.
- Double Barrel Mega-Slides, Tractor Tire Jamboree and Tractor Hay Sculpture and Turkey Hay Sculpture (Pre-school groups substitute Pumpkin Palace Kiddie Zone for this stop)
- Nature Trail complete with wooded area, natural wetlands, view of Middle Creek and three bridges spanning spring fed brook; supplemented with Pumpkin Parable Story Path and Corn Stalk Wigwam for extra fun and photos.
- Play Area with Single “Mega-Slide”, Spider’s Lair” Tunnel and Silo, Mousetrap Wire Maze, Gravity Wagon Basketball Shoot and Park Bench photo op.
- Giant Play on Hay Mound, Rubber Duck Races, Minion Maze and Stagecoach picture op.
- Pumpkin Lesson, Pumpkin Pick, Games and Barrel Train Ride
- 20 Minute Hayride over much of 215 acre farm
- If nine classes from one school are attending on a given day, the above stations will be subdivided differently. Smaller groups or shorter visit times may result in the combining of certain stations.
*Please note that pedal cart and tricycle courses and the Twister Corn Maze are not included in field trips.
The 20 minute hayride is optional in our custom made, 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 soybean 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.
