Year-round Field Trips - Spring 2025

Educational opportunities happening all year long

Perfect for students in grades K-5, the year-round field trips are available every Thursday from February-April and again after the Kansas State Fair from October-December. Each month, students will learn some fun agricultural facts, craft a project, and make a delicious treat to enjoy. The field trips will last approximately 90 minutes with the first of the day beginning at 9:00 am and the last at 1:00 pm. See registration form below for exact dates.

This spring, we will have two different options so more classes can join us for the fun. First, during the month of February, we will have our in-person field trips at the Kansas State Fair Education Center, just like we have in the past. Second, to help our further away schools, we will be doing a virtual lesson during the months of March and April. Teachers will have the option to have a supply box sent out ahead of the date of the lesson for a small, per student fee, or they can provide their own materials from the list given and join the lesson for free!

*Cost of the in-person field trips is $5.00 per student, teachers are free!
**Virtual field trips have the option to have a box of supplies sent ahead of the chosen date for the same $5 per student fee, or teachers can choose to provide their own supplies from the list that will be provided and join the field trip at no cost.
