Frequently Asked Questions
Please book online tickets to schedule your tour. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate walk-up tours.
We’ve done groups as large as 110 students, but groups of this size require up to 2 hours to complete. In order to finish your tour in 1.5 hours, we cannot accommodate more than 60 students (including chaperones), OR 50 adults at one time.
Absolutely! If you wish to share your photos on social media, please use #FarmerBobsWorld! We also have a fun photo op for kids of all ages.
Closed-toe shoes; however, it’s not required. During the summer, we suggest lighter clothing for the hot temperatures, as well as a hat and sunscreen. During winter, we suggest warmer clothing and gloves for the cooler temperatures.
Very little for the tractor tour. We meet you in the parking lot and will load you onto the wagon ride to begin the tour. Once the wagon ride is done, we will walk a short distance to our shop and exhibition space. The path to the barn is paved. Guests will also need to climb 3 large steps to board the wagon. For the Walking tour that is a one mile tour.
YES! We have a variety of souvenirs and items to remember your experience at Farmer Bob’s.
Rain is not a frequent flyer around here, however in the event of rain, we will keep a close eye on the weather and let you know as far in advance as we can if we need to reschedule!
In the summer months it’s common for the area to reach upwards of 100 degrees. It’s best to do tours earlier in the morning, however we’re willing to do them in the afternoon as well. Again, it’s based on your preference. In times of extreme heat/poor air quality, we will reschedule your tour.
