After the tour is completed, exploration continues in our children’s garden and playground, often coupled with a lunch break (food not included). Access to open-sided shelters for lunch can usually be arranged. Field trip groups are typically in the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd grades, but other levels and even home school co-ops are welcome.
