Standard Field Trips

Our Standard Field Trips are available on select dates and include 3 Educational Components. You may choose any 3 of the following:

• Gemstone Mining: Students will learn about 3 different rock categories and how to identify rocks from each one, as well as some differences between rocks and minerals before sluicing out their own treasures to take home!

• Plant Life Cycle: Ever wonder about the challenges of growing in Calgary’s ever changing climate? Learn how our diverse weather affects how our plants grow and see the different stages of growth in a bean plant* or pumpkin*.
  • Each Student will take home a bean plant to care for and help grow (May & June), or a mini pumpkin (September & October)

• Animal Care: Learn about some of our different animals! Learn some fun facts about Pot Bellied pigs, Kangaroos, & Wallabies and what they need for proper care to stay happy and healthy.
  • Meet our Red Kangaroos and Bennet Wallabies! Learn some interesting facts about these adorable Macropods and what they need for food, shelter, and year round care as well as allowing your students the opportunity to pet and feed our fuzzy little friends!

• Creepy Crawlies Talk: Learn about all the creepy crawly critters living on and around our farm! Discover the amazing world of insects, arachnids, gastropods, and annelids (oh my!).

• Creepy Crawlies Scavenger Hunt: Get your students actively discovering the creepy crawly world with a scavenger hunt! An opportunity for students to learn first hand about the habitat, food chain and lifecycle of insects, arachnids, gastropods and annelids!

• Weather Trivia Scavenger Hunt: Weather is never boring here in Calgary! Allow your students to burn off some energy exploring the park to find answers to a variety of Weather Trivia questions after a guided talk about how the weather affects us as individuals and on a wider scale (how does the changing weather affect local farmers?) and how to best prepare for the ever changing elements! We will also discuss some interesting tools used for predicting and measuring the weather and seasonal trends.
