School Program General Information

  • Payment for both the Classroom Presentation, the Full Program, and the wagon rides are due and payable on the date of the Classroom Presentation. Money will not be collected at the field trip, with the exception of general admission for extra assistants, parents and siblings. Please make checks payable to "CB Ranch Enterprises".

  • Because The Flower Fields® is a working ranch with steep hills and dirt pathways, we recommend that you wear hats, sunscreen, sunglasses, comfortable clothes and good walking shoes. You may also want to bring a light jacket or sweater, as the top of the hill can get breezy and cool.

  • If you choose to participate in all field trip activities provided, the average amount of time to allow for the field trip is approximately 3 hours (a full morning), not including a picnic. However, you are welcome to stay for as long or as short a period as you like. It is important to arrive at 9:00 a.m. if possible.

  • Restroom and drinking fountain facilities are located on site for your convenience.

  • In the event of rain, The Flower Fields® will remain open as long as it is safe to do so. If your class chooses not to come, or if we are forced to close due to rain, we will be happy to reschedule your field trip.
