School Field Trips
|
We are a field trip destination for thousands of children throughout Southern and Central California. Every year big yellow buses arrive at the ranch with anxious kids excited to learn about ostriches and play ostrich games. Kids love to be near the birds and are amazed at their dinosaur-like qualities.
|
The children discover many fun things about ostriches including their impressive performance, incredible economics, and their health and cleanliness. They will also receive an interactive demonstration on the hooding and handling of an ostrich. Imagine a child’s expression when holding their first ostrich egg. Their faces reveal an excitement that is truly amazing. This activity creates a lasting impression for years to come. | |
| The students will enjoy games including the Ostrich Egg Race, Rooster Toss, Water Relay, and Playground (as time permits). The visit is complete with a trip to the Visitor Center where they can view an extraordinary ostrich display. |
An informative packet containing pre- and post- tour activities will be sent to the teacher prior to the field trip. This packet includes ostrich-themed facts, puzzles, poems, and coloring pages.
Gift bags are available to purchase as keepsakes of the tour. These bags include an ostrich feather, eggshell, literature, and other fun goodies. Inquire about purchasing these bags when scheduling your tour.
