Your Field Trip Details
Pricing & Payment
Students and parent chaperones are $10/ticket | School teachers and staff are FREE
​
If you are a season pass holder, you may use it toward admission, keeping in mind that our group minimum is $300. Payment for your field trip must be made in one transaction the morning of your field trip. Please note: Irons Mill is cashless beyond admissions.
After you register
​Keep an eye out for an email Friday prior to your field trip to confirm your separate numbers of students, faculty, and parent chaperones. Don't worry if they change a bit – we're flexible! If anyone in your group has a season pass, no need to include them in the count – just let us know so we can welcome them in separately.
Daily Schedule
What‘s great about Irons Mill...FREEDOM! We‘re excited to offer you the freedom to explore our outdoor space and attractions at your own leisure. Pig races will take place at 10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. and your group can eat lunch during your scheduled time slot.
Weather
The fun doesn‘t end just because of the rain, but we will try to accommodate a rescheduled farm visit for your group as best as we can if there is severe weather. You‘ll hear from us the day before or morning of your field trip if that‘s the case!
Arrival & Check-In
​We can‘t wait to greet you between 9:30 a.m. and 10 a.m. When you arrive, one person from your group will check in your group and pay at the Groups/Parties window. The rest of your group should remain on the bus/or by your designated flag color until the transaction is complete.
Lunch
​Your 30-minute lunch times are pre-scheduled and communicated to you 24 hours prior to your field trip. We invite you to store your bagged lunch items in a designated space on the farm until your lunch time, or purchase lunch from our concessions.
