Farm Activities for Kids That Parents Happily Pay For: Real Prices From 13 Farms, Ideas by Age and the Safety Rules to Check Before You Open
In 1987, Jack and Donna Coleman moved from New Jersey to a farm in Ronks, Pennsylvania. They started dairying with seven Holsteins.
They soon realised they had to add income. They tried offering lodging, but it didn't work out. Then they read about a small cornfield maze at Lebanon Valley College.
In 1996 they opened their first maze, shaped like a locomotive to honour the nearby Strasburg Rail Road. In 2003 they sold the dairy herd. Milk cost too much to produce and sold for too little.
In 2004, the family brought in attraction consultants to draw up a master plan. One idea was a children's play farm that could run from spring into fall. By 2020, Cherry Crest Adventure Farm was drawing about 100,000 visitors a year. Its newest playland had a giant slide made from a farm combine.
Today the farm lists more than 70 activities. Its summer price page, which shows no year, lists a $25.95 online ticket for anyone aged 3 and up. Children 2 and under are free. And the Colemans still raise beef cows, grow broilers for Tyson and crop-farm over 300 acres.
So what farm activities for kids do parents actually pay for? Five kinds: play areas built from farm things, animal encounters, hands-on farm jobs, seasonal events, and booked products like toddler classes, birthday parties and camps. Published prices at the 13 farms below run from $10 for a one-hour toddler class to several hundred dollars for a birthday party or a week of camp. The farms that earn most sell more than one of these.
The Short Answer: • What sells: play areas, animal encounters, real farm jobs, seasonal events, and booked products (toddler classes, birthday parties, camps). • What farms charge (checked November 2026): US day tickets about $14.99 to $32.95 a person; one Ontario farm C$10 to C$14; one Surrey farm park £10 to £21.50 a child. Children 2 and under get in free at the US and Canadian farms checked. • The surprise: many farms charge children the same as adults, and one UK farm park charges children more. • The bigger money: birthday parties ($375 to $450 a party in the US, £25 a child in the UK) and day camps ($325 to C$410 a week). • The must-do: fix surfacing, handwashing and animal-contact rules before you sell a single ticket. |
Why Children Are the Best Customers on Your Farm
Children rarely pay. But they decide where the family goes on Saturday, how long it stays and whether it comes back.
When NC State Extension surveyed visitors at six North Carolina agritourism farms in 2010, 46% came as one family of parents with children. Another 17% came as several parent-child families together. And 13% came as grandparents with grandchildren.
Ask those visitors what they liked most, and "activities for children" came second. Only friendly, knowledgeable staff ranked higher. Most also asked for more animals and more hands-on animal experiences.
That was a small pilot study of 141 visitors, so treat it as a signal, not a law. But you will see the same pattern at almost any busy farm on a fall weekend.
The wider market is growing too. USDA's Economic Research Service reports that US farms earned $1.26 billion from agritourism in 2022. That was up 12.4% from 2017 after adjusting for inflation. For the full picture, see our agritourism statistics.
Parents also want something money can't buy in town. In Natural England's 2022 survey of 8 to 15-year-olds, 87% agreed that "being in nature makes me very happy."
And many children simply don't know where food comes from. A British Nutrition Foundation survey of more than 27,500 UK children, reported in 2017, found:
29% of five to seven-year-olds thought cheese came from a plant.
About one in four eight to 11-year-olds thought the same.
13% of eight to 11-year-olds thought pasta came from an animal.
Read those numbers as a farmer. Every one is a parent who would pay to fix it with a morning on your farm.
What Farms Really Charge: 13 Real Price Pages
No guesses here. I read the published price pages of 13 farms and farm attractions in the US, Canada and the UK. Prices are in each farm's own currency, as shown when I checked in November 2026.
Two prices (Andelin and the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum) are 2025 rates, the latest published. The Cherry Crest and Kuipers pages show no year. The Kuipers page mentions the 2023 growing season, so its prices may be from an older season. Check before you copy them.
Farm (location) | Kids' activity | Published price | What's included or notable |
Cherry Crest Adventure Farm (Ronks, Pennsylvania) | Summer day ticket, 70+ activities (page shows no year) | US$25.95 online, US$32.95 at the gate | One price for everyone 3 and up; 2 and under free |
Kuipers Family Farm (Maple Park, Illinois) | Pumpkin FunFarm day ticket (page shows no year; may be an older season) | US$14.99 to US$21.99 online; US$2 more at the gate | Weekdays cheaper; jumping pillow US$2 extra; 2 and under free |
Springridge Farm (Milton, Ontario) | Day admission | C$14 weekends and holidays, C$10 weekdays | Everyone over 2; play areas, animals and wagon ride included |
Bocketts Farm Park (Surrey, England) | Day admission | Child (3-17) £21.50 standard, £17.50 off-peak | Adult £19.50; pony rides £3.50; tractor rides £2 |
Cedar Circle Farm (East Thetford, Vermont) | Little Farmers, ages 2-5 with a grown-up, 1 hour | US$10 a class or US$90 for 10 | Weekly, May to October 2026 |
Suffolk County Farm, Cornell Cooperative Extension (New York) | Farm Friends toddler class, 1 hour | US$20 a child, minimum 4 classes | Siblings over 12 months US$10 |
Matlock Farm Park (Derbyshire, England) | Junior Farmer Day, ages 7-11, 10am-3pm | £65 a child | Animal health checks, egg collecting, goat grooming, certificate |
Godstone Farm (Surrey, England) | Farmer Experience, 2 hours | Price on booking page | All-day entry, one free adult, certificate |
Cotswold Farm Park (Gloucestershire, England) | Birthday party | £25 a child, minimum 10 | Party room, animal handling and feed, food, party bags |
Andelin Family Farm (Sparks, Nevada) | Baby Animal Days birthday party (2025) | US$375 for up to 15 guests | Goat feeding, bottle feeding, party attendant; US$15 per extra guest |
Terhune Orchards (Princeton, New Jersey) | Birthday party, 2 hours | US$450 for 30 guests | Barnyard visit, feed bag per child, play area, cider donuts; US$13 per extra guest |
Shelburne Farms (Shelburne, Vermont) | Summer day camp, 9am-3pm, 5 days | US$325 a week | Ages 5-14; payment plans and need-based help |
Canada Agriculture and Food Museum (Ottawa, Ontario) | Junior Farmer Camp (2025) | C$410 a week, taxes included | Campers adopt a calf, feed and groom it, muck out stalls |
Five lessons jump out of that table.
Lesson No. 1: Children pay full price. Cherry Crest and Springridge charge one price for everyone over 2 or 3. At Bocketts in Surrey, a child's standard ticket is £21.50 and an adult's is £19.50. After all, the child is the one using the play areas.
Lesson No. 2: Babies go free. Cherry Crest, Kuipers and Springridge let children 2 and under in free; Bocketts lets under-1s in free. It costs little, and it removes the first objection from parents with a baby and a toddler.
Lesson No. 3: Online is cheaper on purpose. Cherry Crest charges $7 more at the gate. Kuipers charges $2 more. Online tickets tell you who is coming, so you can staff the day.
Lesson No. 4: Small add-ons add up. A $2 jumping pillow, a £2 tractor ride or a £3.50 pony ride feels like nothing to a parent. On a busy day, it pays for staff.
Lesson No. 5: The biggest tickets are booked products. A $450 party or a $325 camp week is worth dozens of day tickets. More on those below.
Field-Tested Play: Price per child, not per car. Make babies free, put a small online discount on every ticket, and sell two or three cheap add-ons at the gate. Kuipers uses this structure, and Cherry Crest uses the first three parts. |
The Five Kinds of Farm Activities for Kids (and What Each Needs)
Every kid-friendly farm I studied sells some mix of five things. You don't need all five. Start with one or two you can run well.
No. 1: Play Areas Built From Farm Things
Children want to climb, dig, slide and bounce. Your farm already has the raw materials.
Look at what Springridge Farm in Milton, Ontario, includes in a C$14 weekend ticket:
a spider web climber and tube slides
a giant sandbox and straw play
"goat mountain"
pedal tractors and antique tractors
farm animals, a singing chicken show and a tractor-drawn wagon ride
big red Adirondack chairs for parents
Notice the last item. Parents who can sit down and watch stay longer and buy more. Our guide to farm visitor amenities shows how seating, shade and toilets keep families on your farm.
Cherry Crest went further. Its Sproutsville Village is a pretend town with a fire house and police station. Its Lil' Farmers Playland has swings, sandboxes and that giant slide made from a combine.
White Hutchinson Leisure and Learning Group, which designs family attractions, gave farm owners some clear design rules in April 2025:
Build separate play areas for each age group. Equipment that suits older children can hurt younger ones.
Use loose parts children can move and build with. They hold attention longer than fixed equipment.
Keep spaces child-sized, with clear boundaries.
Choose non-toxic plants. Designers often forget this.
Don't count on parents to supervise. Many don't.
Other proven ideas still work well: hay bale mazes, sensory gardens with herbs to smell and touch, and "farm Olympics" with egg-and-spoon races and corn husking contests.
Reality Check: The US Consumer Product Safety Commission says grass and dirt are not protective surfacing. Its playground handbook says 9 inches of compressed wood chips protects falls of up to 10 feet, and a stand-alone climber needs a 6-foot use zone around it. Ask your insurer whether play equipment is covered, and whether your state inspects jumping pillows or barrel trains as amusement rides. |
That last question matters. In 2018, Gary Starr of Gary's Berries in Kansas, a 35-acre pumpkin patch, told state lawmakers an outside inspector would cost an estimated $5,000. He said the farm could not afford it for its hay rack ride or jumping pillows. Rules on rides vary by state and country, so check yours early.
For more hidden dangers, read farm hazards for visitors.
No. 2: Animal Encounters
Animals are the main event for most children. They are also where the biggest health and legal risks sit.
Andelin Family Farm in Sparks, Nevada, builds a whole season around them. Its Baby Animal Days let visitors hold baby chicks and young goats. Calf cuddling is sold as a premium extra.
Cotswold Farm Park in England sells small-group animal experiences. Its "Be a Farmer" session takes a maximum of eight people, aged 8 and up, into the paddocks to water, feed and clean. Under-16s must have an adult with them.
Here is what the CDC tells families about animal exhibits:
Children under 5 shouldn't touch reptiles, amphibians or poultry.
Children under 5, adults 65 and older and people with weak immune systems should take extra care.
No eating or drinking around animals. No pacifiers or fingers in mouths.
Leave strollers, cups and toys outside the animal area.
Wash with soap and running water. Sanitizer is a backup, not a replacement.
Design your farm so that doing the right thing is the easy thing. Put sinks at the exit of every animal area, and keep food far away from it. Our petting zoo handwashing system shows the full layout, and the Bengtson's E. coli investigation shows what happens when it fails.
Reality Check: In the US, showing animals to the public can make you an "exhibitor" under the Animal Welfare Act, even with free entry. Read does your petting zoo need a USDA exhibitor license, then ask your insurer the questions in our petting zoo insurance guide. |
No. 3: Hands-On Farm Jobs: "Where Does Food Come From?"
This is what the old idea of a "day in the life" farm visit gets right. Children don't just want to look. They want a job.
Matlock Farm Park in Derbyshire sells exactly that. Its Junior Farmer Day costs £65 a child, for ages 7 to 11, from 10am to 3pm. Children health-check small animals, clean and feed rabbits and guinea pigs, collect eggs and groom goats. They go home with a signed certificate.
Godstone Farm in Surrey sells a two-hour Farmer Experience for young farmers. Families can request a favourite animal when booking. The child gets a certificate, and one adult gets in free.
Here are farm jobs children can do with an adult close by:
collecting eggs and counting them
planting seeds in a pot they take home
picking a ripe vegetable and tasting it
brushing a calm goat or pony
filling water buckets and feed troughs
following a "journey of a seed" walk from soil to plate
Use stories, not lectures. Explain the role of bees in a vegetable patch. Show a cow, then pour a glass of milk. Suffolk County Farm in New York runs toddler themes like "Who's Wool?" and "Cow Wee," where children meet cows and make a milk-based treat.
Plan the day the way a farmer's day runs. Morning chores first, when children are fresh. A break for a farm snack or lunch in the middle. A craft or short workshop in the afternoon. A small take-home at the end, like a potted seedling or a recipe card.
City families love this as much as their children do. If adults ask for longer classes, look at our guide to hosting workshops on farming skills.
Want your own children to help run these sessions? Read why farm kids make the best tour guides, with real Junior Farmer Day prices and the rules to check first.
Field-Tested Play: Give every child a "job card" with three tasks to tick off, like "collect 3 eggs", "feed the goats" and "plant a seed". Hand over a certificate when all three are done. Children love finishing things, and parents photograph the certificate. |
No. 4: Seasonal Events
Seasonal events turn one-time visitors into a family tradition. They also give you a reason to market every few months.
The big three for families are spring baby animals, fall pumpkins and corn mazes, and Christmas. Kuipers Family Farm prices its fall Pumpkin FunFarm by day. Its ticket page, which shows no year, lists $14.99 online on a September weekday, up to $21.99 on an October weekend.
Fall: see how to start a pumpkin patch and how to start a corn maze.
Easter: see how Hunt Club Farm built a spring egg hunt into a family event.
Christmas: Christmas on the farm covers trees, Santa visits and light trails.
All year: our list of farm event ideas by season.
Add a kid twist to whatever you already sell. At a pick-your-own patch, run a hunt for the biggest pumpkin or the reddest apple. On a nature trail, hand out magnifying glasses and a "nature detective" clue sheet.
For how one family grew a weekend patch into a big operation, read the Kuipers Family Farm case study.
No. 5: Booked Products: Toddler Classes, Birthday Parties and Camps
This is where the steady money is. Booked products are paid in advance, run on quiet days and come back every year.
Toddler classes. Cedar Circle Farm in Vermont charges $10 per child per one-hour Little Farmers class, or $90 for ten. Children aged 2 to 5 come with a grown-up, weekly from May to October. Suffolk County Farm charges $20 a class, with a minimum of four. Its 1.5-hour Saturday sessions cost $30 for a child and caregiver.
These run on weekday mornings, when your farm is otherwise empty. A ten-class card also puts cash in your account before the season starts.
Birthday parties. Three real price pages show three different ways to package one:
Terhune Orchards in Princeton, New Jersey: $450 for 30 guests, children and adults counted together. The birthday child is free, extras are $13 each, and you get a tented area for two hours. A 50% non-refundable deposit holds the date.
Andelin Family Farm, Nevada (2025): $375 for up to 15 guests aged 3 and up, with a party attendant, hand-feeding the adult goats and a bottle-feeding experience for the birthday child. Extra guests are $15.
Cotswold Farm Park, England: £25 a child, minimum 10, including a party room, animal handling, food and party bags. One adult per child gets in free.
Notice what they all sell. A fixed time slot, a set headcount, a private space and one animal moment the birthday child will remember.
Day camps. Shelburne Farms in Vermont charges $325 for a five-day camp week, 9am to 3pm, for ages 5 to 14. Its three-night camp for teens aged 14 to 17 is $800. It also offers payment plans and need-based help.
In Ottawa, the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum charged C$410 a week in 2025 for its Junior Farmer Camp. Campers adopt a calf, feed and groom it, and muck out stalls.
Field-Tested Play: Sell your first birthday party package before you build anything new. Copy the Terhune format: a two-hour slot, a headcount, a private shaded area, one animal feeding and one farm treat. Take a 50% deposit. If ten families book in your first season, you have proof the market is there. |
Plan Your Kids' Activities by Age
A two-year-old and a ten-year-old want completely different things. If you build one space for both, neither will stay long.
Under 5: sand and straw play, pedal tractors, stroking calm animals with a parent, short story times. Keep sessions to about an hour, like the toddler classes above. No reptile, amphibian or poultry contact, in line with CDC advice.
Ages 5 to 8: feeding stations, egg collecting, small slides, mini mazes, scavenger hunts and simple crafts like leaf rubbings or painted pots.
Ages 8 to 12: real farm jobs, Junior Farmer Days, corn maze challenges, planting and harvesting, and week-long camps. Matlock and Cotswold Farm Park both set their minimum ages at 7 or 8 for hands-on sessions.
Teens: something to film and something to do. Paid jobs, junior helper roles or a challenging maze. Shelburne Farms runs an overnight camp for this age.
Also plan for the adults. Grandparents need benches. Parents need shade, coffee and a clear view of the play area.
The Money Maths: Simple Examples Using Real Prices
These are illustrations, not forecasts. They use the published prices above, before costs. Your numbers will depend on your area, staff, insurance and season.
Product | Price used | Example volume | Gross before costs |
Toddler class | US$20 a child (Suffolk County Farm) | 10 children, 1 class a week for 10 weeks | US$2,000 |
Birthday party | US$450 a party (Terhune Orchards) | 2 parties every Saturday for 10 weeks | US$9,000 |
Day camp | US$325 a week (Shelburne Farms) | 12 campers for 4 weeks | US$15,600 |
Junior Farmer Day | £65 a child (Matlock Farm Park) | 8 children, 6 days a year | £3,120 |
Look at what those four products have in common. They are booked ahead, priced per child or per party, and run on days you choose.
Now subtract your real costs: staff, food, feed, insurance, toilets, marketing and your own time. Camps need trained staff and, in many places, a licence. Food needs permits. Read selling food on your farm before you serve a single cupcake.
Reality Check: Day tickets need crowds. At $14 a head, you need a lot of families to cover a wage, a toilet trailer and your insurance. That is why most farms in the table add booked products. A party or a camp week earns more per child, from fewer children, on days you control. |
Safety, Licences and Insurance: Questions to Ask Before You Open
Children change your risk. They climb what you didn't expect, touch what they shouldn't and put their hands in their mouths.
Farms are already risky places for children. According to the National Children's Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety, at least 33 children are seriously injured in US agriculture-related incidents each day. That figure is for agriculture as a whole, not visitor attractions. But it shows why visitor areas must be kept well apart from working areas.
This is general information, not legal or insurance advice. Take these questions to your insurer, your lawyer and your local authority.
Fencing: Are machinery, ponds, slurry, chemicals and bulls behind locked gates that children can't climb?
Surfacing: Is there proper protective surfacing under every slide and climber, at the depth the CPSC handbook gives?
Animals: Is there a soap-and-water sink at the exit of every animal area? Are food, strollers and pacifiers kept out?
Licences: Do your animals or numbers bring you under USDA APHIS rules, or under a local animal licence in Canada or the UK?
Rides: Does your state or council inspect jumping pillows, barrel trains or wagon rides?
Signs and waivers: Does your state's agritourism law require warning signs? See agritourism laws by state and do liability waivers protect your farm.
Insurance: Does your policy cover children, animal contact, play equipment, parties and camps? Our guide to agritourism insurance lists the questions.
Allergies: Do you tell parents in advance about hay, bees, nuts and animal dander?
Staffing: Who is watching the play area and the animal pen at every minute you are open?
Field-Tested Play: Write a one-page "kids' safety sheet" before opening day. Include your fenced no-go areas, your handwashing points, your first-aid kit location and your lost-child plan. Hand it to every staff member and file a copy with your insurance papers. |
A Note From My Own Farm
At Bloopy Durians, my farm in Bentong, Malaysia, we welcome visitors from all over the world. Many companies also send their staff and management to the farm.
Our durian season runs only about four to five months a year. So we keep a WhatsApp list of loyal customers who buy whenever durians are available.
The lesson for a family farm is simple. Every birthday booking and camp form is a parent's phone number or email. Ask permission, then tell them about your next season first.
Where School Field Trips Fit
This guide covers families who come on their own. School groups are a different customer, with a teacher, a bus and a per-child price agreed in advance.
They also fill your weekday mornings, and the children bring their parents back on Saturday. For real school prices, booking steps and safety paperwork, read our full guide to farm field trips.
Your First 30 Days: A Simple Start Plan
Pick one age group. Under-5s and their parents are the easiest place to start.
Pick two activities. For example, a sand and straw play corner plus a supervised goat-feeding station.
Fix safety first. Fence off working areas, add surfacing, and put a soap-and-water sink at the animal exit.
Call your insurer. Ask the nine questions above, in writing.
Set your price. Use the table above. Charge per child, make under-2s free and add one small add-on.
Test with five families. Invite friends with young children. Watch where they go, how long they stay and what they ask for.
Launch one booked product. A weekly toddler class or a birthday party package.
Collect contacts. With permission, so you can tell families about your next event.
Not sure your farm is ready? Our Farm Readiness Quiz will show you in a few minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best farm activities for kids?
The activities that sell best combine play, animals and a real job. Think sand and straw play, supervised animal feeding, egg collecting, small slides and mazes, scavenger hunts and seasonal events. For extra income, add booked products like toddler classes, birthday parties and day camps.
How much should I charge children for a farm visit?
On the price pages checked in November 2026, US day tickets ran from $14.99 to $32.95 a person. Springridge in Ontario charged C$10 to C$14, and Bocketts in England charged children £10 to £21.50. Most of these farms charge children the same as adults. The US and Canadian farms let children 2 and under in free.
How much do farms charge for a birthday party?
Terhune Orchards in New Jersey charges $450 for 30 guests. Andelin Family Farm in Nevada charged $375 for up to 15 guests in 2025. Cotswold Farm Park in England charges £25 a child, with a minimum of 10. Each includes a private space, a time slot and an animal activity.
Do I need a licence to let children pet farm animals?
It depends on your country, your animals and how you show them. In the US, the USDA may treat you as an exhibitor under the Animal Welfare Act, even with free entry. Check with USDA APHIS, your local authority and your insurer, and get the answer in writing.
What safety rules matter most for kids on a farm?
Keep working areas fenced off. Put protective surfacing under play equipment, since grass and dirt don't count. Provide soap and running water at every animal exit. Follow CDC advice that children under 5 shouldn't touch reptiles, amphibians or poultry.
Can I run kids' activities without building a big play park?
Yes. Many of the products in this guide need little building. A toddler class, a Junior Farmer Day or a birthday party mainly needs animals, a safe area, shade, handwashing and a plan. Cedar Circle Farm's one-hour classes and Matlock's Junior Farmer Day are good models.
Are kids' farm activities the same as school field trips?
No. Family activities are sold to parents, mostly on weekends and holidays. School field trips are sold to teachers, usually on weekday mornings, at a per-child rate. Our farm field trips guide covers schools in full.
