School Tours at Rumley’s Open Farm Cork

School Tours at Rumley’s Open Farm Cork offer a fun and educational environment for Irish school children.

It has been a dream of mine for many years to bring children onto my farm and give them a chance to see how food is produced from vegetables, eggs, chicken to the various different types of meat.

I strongly believe if you show children how real natural food is grown it is something that will stay with them forever.

With this philosophy in mind I have developed 3 programs that will appeal to both younger and older children where they not only get to play with the animals but to see how a working farm is run. It is also a program where teachers will learn a lot too and be able to bring some real experiences and exercises back to the class room.

Our 3 programs are as follows:

Day Plan – Junior Infants to 1st Class

ChildRabbit

  • Visit the Pet Farm where the children can get to hold and feed the animals
  • Guided Tractor Tour of the Farm tailored to younger children
  • See a cow being milked
  • Hold our day old chicks
  • Lunch
  • The Fun Bit – Access to all the indoor and outdoor activities available on the farm

Day Plan – 2nd to 4th Class

Schools

  • 2 hour Guided Farm Tour explaining how the farm works for domestic and exotic animals
  • The Working Farm The children will learn about where the food chain begins and ends.
  • Exercise A worksheet will be provided for use as a project back in the classroom
  • Lunch
  • Opportunity to play in our activity centre and meet the animals in our Pet Farm

Day Plan – 5th & 6th Class

SONY DSC

  • 2 hour Guided Farm Tour introducing the exotic animals and explaining how the farm works for domestic and exotic animals
  • The Working Farm The children will learn about where the food chain begins and ends.
  • Exercise – From Farm to Fork – Where our food comes from
  • Lunch
  • Opportunity to play in our activity centre and meet the animals in our Pet Farm

How much does it cost?

It is €8 per child, and you just pay for the number of children who come on the day. We accept cash or cheque payments on the day. Please make cheques payable to Rumleys Farm.

School Tours at Viking Splash Dublin

Viking Splash School Tours is a great way to see the sights of Dublin – both on land and water! Travelling on board our Amphibious World War II vehicles (DUKWs) you are taken on a spellbinding tour of Dublin. Our costumed Viking Tour Guides ensure you not only hear the history of Viking Dublin, but also pass by sights such as St Patricks and Christchurch cathedrals, Trinity College, Government Buildings and Georgian Dublin. The climax of the tour sees our Viking DUKWs splash into the water at the newly developed Grand Canal Docklands where the recording studio of U2 and much more are explored.

Coach Parking available at our bus stop on BULL ALLEY ST

“The tour was both educational and enjoyable. It was an ideal day out.” – School Tour Visitor 2013

“The children had a wonderful day ~ best school tour ever was echoed by many of them. Organisation and attention to detail was first class. Children loved the the Viking Splash Tour & their visit to Croke Park. We had excellent guides for both and this really added to the tour. From booking to when we left Croke Park it was a very positive experience.” – School Tour Visitor 2013

Viking Splash Tour Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes

School Tour Times: 10am, 11.30am, 2pm and 3.30pm
