Making the grade.
To make sure the tour meets your needs, we did our homework and consulted with teachers. The result is an interactive, activity-driven tour that does the following:
- Meets and reinforces Arizona education standards while making learning about dairy fun
- Works with your existing curriculum to bring classroom lessons to life
- Includes downloadable lesson plans in math, history, reading comprehension and more
About Our Farm Tour Field Trips
- The tour is given in an open-air tram that takes you around our working dairy farm. Tours last approximately 60 minutes.
- Your students will learn about dairy farming and see 200 cows being milked at once in a modern, theater-like setting.
- Your students will have the opportunity to enjoy Roxie’s Adventure Land by climbing up a 20-foot milk bottle, sliding down a cottage cheese slide or milking a cow on our simulated milking game.
- Your students will also be visiting Roxie's Calf Nursery, where they will have the opportunity to feed and pet a baby calf.
- Extra time can be added if you want your students to bring a brown bag lunch to enjoy inside the Welcome Center Barn. For an additional fee, you may purchase ice cream novelties to enjoy with your lunch.
- Roxie’s Gift Shop offers fun cow-spotted items to remind you and your students of your great day at the farm.
