Very satisfying both in terms of learning and fun. All the children (ages 5-11) loved taking the tour and enjoyed interacting with the friendly staff and being able to participate in farm activities such as picking vegetables and feeding the chickens. We are also glad that the questions that the kids had were taken seriously and answered too. We are definitely going back!!
