About this tour
The Farm Yard school tour, at Olifantsfontein near Irene in Centurion, Gauteng, is one of the most popular CAPS-aligned Agriculture and Natural Sciences excursions for pre-school through Grade 3 learners. The Foundation-phase programme is built around an arena show that little ones absolutely love.
Learners watch a live cow-milking demonstration, listen to age-appropriate lectures on cattle, sheep, goats and pigs, and then visit the poultry section to meet chickens, ducks and other farm birds up close. Friendly handlers, interactive moments and plenty of touching opportunities make the day a sensory delight.
Wilrien School Tours handles the full educational excursion package: bus transport (if required) from your school, farm entry, professional guiding and teacher support — making it one of the most requested Foundation-phase school tours in Gauteng.
