THE ATTRACTIONS

Barnyard Adventureland — Seven Hands‑On Stations

Barnyard Adventureland bundles seven different play attractions for students, from animal areas to active elements such as a zipline, jumping pillow, pedal go‑karts and playgrounds, giving groups a variety of choices during a single visit.

THE MAZE

Daytime Corn Maze

A daytime corn maze is part of the field trip itinerary—an exploratory, group‑managed feature that can become muddy depending on weather and requires appropriate footwear and supervision.

THE PICK

Pumpkin Patch & Take‑Home Pumpkins

Students get hands‑on time in the pumpkin patch and each student may take home a pumpkin up to the size of a soccer ball; the farm also teases a new attraction to be announced.

What the day feels like

What the Day Feels Like

The day unfolds as a self‑directed circuit: teachers and chaperones shepherd groups between attraction zones, allow time in the corn maze, and lead students into the pumpkin patch. Maan Farms provides admission to the attractions but no scheduled educational sessions, wagon rides, or staff‑led station rotations, so the tempo is set by each visiting school.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this visit suits — and who should plan differently.

1
Elementary Schools (K–5)Well suited for younger students who benefit from varied, active play and close chaperone supervision; teachers should plan group flow because the visit is self‑guided.
2
Middle Schools (Grades 6–8)Good fit for cohort‑style visits that mix free play with maze exploration; requires teacher oversight to keep groups on schedule and safe in busier areas.
3
High Schools (Grades 9–12)Appropriate for larger groups who can self‑manage between attractions, though staff will not provide organized programming—teachers must coordinate logistics and supervision.
4
Teachers & ChaperonesEssential participants: adults are responsible for routing groups through attractions, tracking head counts and ensuring students are prepared for weather and potentially muddy conditions.
