Frying Pan Birthday Party Staff-led Activities

Staff will lead your party to our barn classroom where there will be 2-3 animals for your group to meet, pet and learn about. Activity time is 30 minutes, including time to wash hands.

Staff will lead your party on a 25-minute, tractor-pulled wagon ride through the park and farm, with opportunities to see the animals. A wheelchair-accessible wagon is available.

Children will paint their own design on a pot, plant a seed, water it and take it home. Staff will explain how plants grow best and how farmers grow crops on the farm.
