Centennial Farm Discovery Day is an unguided tour program, open to all grade levels and the general public. Reservations are required for all participants. No walk-ins allowed.
What to Expect on Discovery Day
During a Discovery Day, “farmers” are stationed around the farm to answer questions and provide information. Upon check-in, you will receive a map to aid you in getting around and seeing all Centennial Farm has to offer.
Groups may participate in the following activities:
- Radish Seed Planting: Children will plant a radish seed to take home.
- Chick Education: Learn about the chick development process.
- Rabbit Education: Learn about rabbits and pet bunnies.
- Oxen Demonstration: Demonstration days vary depending on volunteer availability.
- Crops Education: Seasonal varieties on display.
- Livestock Animals: Pigs, goats, sheep, cattle, rabbits and poultry.
- Participation by organizations like OC Beekeepers, CA Mobile Dairy, Walk Intuit horse therapy and other programming may vary.
Lunch/Snack Area
Picnic tables are available for lunch on a first-come, first-seated basis. Picnic tables may not be claimed prior to our 9 a.m. opening time. No assistance will be provided transporting lunches to and from the picnic area. No food or drinks are sold on premises.
Cancellation Policy
- If you need to cancel your reservation, please notify us at least 4 weeks prior to the scheduled tour date. Failure to do so may result in the school’s inability to book a future field trip.
- If Centennial Farm cancels your tour due to rain/weather conditions, you will be contacted by 7:30 a.m. the day of your reservation if the Discovery Day is canceled. After a cancellation occurs, the Centennial Farm tour coordinator will contact the teacher/field trip coordinator within seven business days to reschedule the field trip.
- If your school cancels due to rain/weather conditions, there is not a guarantee you will be able to reschedule due to space limitations. At least 24-hour notice is required in the event of a weather-related cancellation.
Reservation Process
- Select a reservation date. The Discovery Days calendar is a working calendar so any dates and spots currently available will be displayed. Once you hit the submit button, do not hit the back button as this may cause a lost reservation.
- Keep a copy of the reservation application. You will receive an automated email with a copy of your reservation. Double-check all the information is correct. A final confirmation will be emailed once your reservation information is approved.
- Watch for confirmation. The tour coordinator will email a confirmation a week before your reservation date. The email will state the activities available on Discovery Day, parking details and a copy of the Discovery Day map.
