What's the difference between a Guided and a Self-Guided tour?

Guided Tour
Guided tours are reserved for Kindergarten through third grade. We offer two tour appointment times on guided days, one at 9 a.m. and one at 11 a.m. Tours last approximately 1½ hours. On a guided tour kids are taken around the animal pens and crop areas. During their tour, kids get to plant radishes, hold a chick, and learn all about how agriculture is incorporated into their daily lives.

Self-Guided Tour
Self-guided tours are reserved for pre-schools, home schools, and other specialty groups. Self-guided tours are run 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and groups are free to walk around the farm at their own pace. The self-guided tour is essentially the same as the guided tour, but instead of the children being guided by a docent, the teachers guide the kids to the different stations where docents await.

Why are there limitations on who can come on which day?
The self-guided tour day was created to accommodate the needs of pre-schools, home schools, and other specialty groups. Since the tour is self-guided, it allows teachers to assess what length of tour and depth of information will best suit the needs of their children. We have found this works best due to ages and age ranges of the specified groups.
