Field Trips
Piney Acres is 73 acres of explorable fun and we are excited to share it with your group! School tours can be scheduled any time throughout the year and include your very own expert farm guide to keep on-hand for any and all questions! Each tour includes a guided wagon ride through the tree fields with tons of educational facts (adjusted to meet state curriculum criteria for each age group).
We also allow time for guests to enjoy the peaceful, fresh air and the natural beauty of a farm setting. Free play in our Exploration Area is a great opportunity to see all of the beauty Piney has to offer!
We provide free and ample parking, indoor or outdoor picnic areas (sack lunches can be brought and stored inside our store) and indoor restroom facilities with handicap accessibility. Guided tour times are from 10am-Noon only. Lunch & free play (if applicable) will follow the guided portion of our tour and will last for approx. a half hour. Lunch & Free play may be extended during booking for a fee. Due to the high demand of our tours, we ask that all tour requests be made at least two week before desired date!
