We will be offering family-based field trips for groups coming in cars on Fridays (Thursdays in July).

There is no limit on the size of group you can book in, either small or large, depending on availability.

Contact us for a group booking- info@morningsoundfarm.com or 204-736-3460

We offer a full day of activities, if you so choose, including a pony ride, a hayride, many baby animals to hold, bigger animals to feed and pet, demonstrations of sheep shearing and goat milking and lots of space to have a picnic.

We will send you a self-guiding map with all the details once you are booked in.

You will choose an arrival time when you book to allow enough space for all the visits.

The activities will be available until around 2:30 and the farm will close at 3pm.

All of our dates will go ahead rain or shine. We have lots of indoor activities that will keep kids and animals dry, allowing everyone to have a great time. Once you have booked tickets, you will get updates to address weather concerns for your date.

On any day, no matter what the weather, it is extremely important to dress for the weather. Spending several hours outside requires planning ahead.

On a cool, windy day, it is perfectly reasonable to wear parkas, mittens and touques. We also have a bin full of extra parkas available for kids who are underdressed. Adults are the most likely to be uncomfortable, since kids usually stay active. Please wear windproof clothing and lots of layers.

On a rainy day, or after a rainy day, rubber boots are recommended. Most activities can be held indoors, so rain jackets and umbrellas are not as important as warm clothes.

On a very hot day, we encourage frequent water breaks (we have excellent water available at a water fountain or from a bottle filler tap). We also make sure to keep most of our activities in the shade or indoors. Bringing along a spray bottle for misting is recommended.

Nope. Only the paying attendees, anyone over 12 MONTHS old, need a ticket.

One or two extra people joining a family group is fine.

We will adjust your amount owing when you arrive.

You can pass your tickets on to someone who can use them. Or contact the farm directly (reply to your ticket email) as soon as possible that your tickets will be available, since most Fridays are in high demand or have a waiting list.

The admission cost is $13 per person on Fridays for all adults and children over 12 months of age.

For family groups, tickets must be reserved online before you arrive.

Payment will be at the gate by cash, tap cards (debit or credit) or e-transfer.

For preschools, we will make payment arrangements during the booking process. We take cash, cheque or e-transfer only for group payments.

Because our farm is very hands-on and conversational in nature, we adapt to suit the needs of age of student. For a preschool class, we present answers to the questions they have in an engaging and brief way. For elementary students, we expand the answers to challenge their thinking about food, animals and agriculture. High school students and adults will always learn something new about the world of farming.

"I love that every year I learn something new. Your continuing self education is evident."

All farm visits are self-guided and can be taken at the pace suitable for each age.

With all field trips cancelled for 2020 and 2021, the farm had to offer small group experiences. We tested the self-guided station format with families, as well as with several nursery schools and daycare centres.

The response from these teachers/directors was entirely positive. They appreciated the flexible timing, the shorter segments and the ability to go back and see something over again. It also means there are extra farm staff and more spaces to enjoy. The relaxed pace is especially well suited to preschools and homeschool families.
