Farm Field Trips Kids
Actually Remember
Trade the classroom for a real working farm, animals to meet, pumpkins to pick, and enough room to run that the bus ride home is silent. Thirty minutes from Fort Worth, a world away from a worksheet.
A Farm Field Trip Destination
Near Fort Worth
Looking for field trip ideas near Fort Worth that don’t involve a museum gift shop? Ruby Creek Family Farm is a fourth-generation working farm in Aurora, an easy bus ride from northwest Fort Worth, Keller, Haslet, and western Denton County. It’s the educational day out DFW teachers keep in their back pocket: kids meet real farm animals, choose their favorite pumpkin, and burn energy the way recess wishes it could.
Hands-on, screens-off
Real Farm.
Real Learning.
This isn’t a farm-themed playground, it’s land the Peterson family has worked since the 1930s. Students come nose-to-nose with goats, donkeys, sheep, bunnies, and chickens, walk a corn maze, and see a working farm with their own eyes instead of on a screen.
And when the learning’s done, there’s a whole farm of 20+ attractions to explore, the two-story sand pile, human hamster wheels, corn pits, and the barrel train included.

Planning Your Trip
Takes One Phone Call
Call Stacy at (817) 966-0141 with your group size and a few date options. Small groups and homeschool co-ops usually join us on Fridays, 10am–3pm. For school field trips, we encourage booking another day of the week: we’ll often host two schools at once, and schools prefer having the farm to themselves rather than mixing with days we’re open to the public.
Sort the details together — group rates, arrival time, chaperones, lunch plans, and anything special your kids need. You’re talking to the owner, so answers come fast.
Load the bus and come on out. Free parking with easy access, a big red ENTRANCE flag you can’t miss, and a farm full of things to discover on the other side of the gate.
Good to Know
Everything’s included with admission — all 20+ attractions, the animals, and the play areas.
Rained out? Tickets are good on any other open day this fall — call to reschedule your group.
Concessions on site: lunch and treats available, or ask about bringing sack lunches when you book.
Planning a smaller celebration? Our birthday parties come with a private hayride and pond-side tables.
Book Your Field Trip
Fall dates fill fast once school starts. One call to the farm sets your date, your group rate, and a morning your students will still be talking about in December.
