Book a Pumpkin Patch Field Trip!
Children (and Adults) Enjoy this Fun and Educational Fall Experience on a Real Working Farm!
The Tanaka Farms Pumpkin Patch Field Trip has been a favorite of children and teachers for over 20 years! Though we've grown larger, we still offer the same memorable experience year after year.
What is the Pumpkin Patch Field Trip (often referred to as the Pumpkin Patch Tour?) The pumpkin patch field trip is technically not a tour (in terms of it being the guided tour experience of our strawberry and melon season.) This is a completely self-guided tour and you are given an itinerary of activities. The complete itinerary takes about 1 1/2 to 2 hours depending on group size. The package experience includes:
WAGON RIDE: Once everyone has been checked in and stickers put on, the first stop is the Wagon Ride! The wagons run continuously every 10 minutes or so and take you around our 30-acre farm to see all the pumpkins and crops growing. Please note that this is not a guided tour. This is a wagon ride only.
CORN MAZE: Enjoy making your way through this kid-friendly favorite!
BARNYARD EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT: When the wagon returns, the next stop is the Barnyard Educational Exhibit! We have a variety of barnyard animals to visit, including chickens, goats, sheep, and donkeys. Make sure to supervise all children to take good care of our animal friends. Hand sanitizing stations are available outside the Barnyard.
U-PICK VEGGIES: After gathering your group out of the Barnyard, head on over to the Vegetable Patch! A friendly Patch helper will pass out bags and tell you all about the vegetables and how to pick them. Each child can take home 4 of each kind of veggie - carrots, radishes, green onions, and cilantro.
PUMPKIN PATCH: Last stop but certainly not least is picking a pumpkin! Walk on over the pumpkin patch to choose which pumpkin to take home. Flat one, tall one, skinny one...bumpy one? Orange, white, green? IMPORTANT: Each child must carry his/her own pumpkin through the Check Out tent AND it must weigh no more than 20 pounds.
