Where learning is FUN!
September 2020
Howdy friends! After much thought and consideration, our team has made the very difficult decision to suspend operation for the remainder of 2020. We will miss seeing each of you, but our highest priority is the safety of our guests and our team.
If you have a specific question, please email info@therockranch.com.
The Most Fun You
Can Have On A Field Trip!
Schedule your class’ trip to The Rock Ranch for a mix of hands-on learning and fun in our 1,500 acre classroom. All of our seasonal field trips are conducted outdoors. Please come casual and weather appropriate, and be sure to wear good walking shoes.
All seasonal tours include a tractor wagon ride tour of the farm, playtime in the corn bin, a visit to Tiny Town (a village of themed playhouses), fun on our giant jumping pillow, and slide hill. Students will have an opportunity to shop at our Country Store.
Year-round field trips are conducted indoors, and outdoors. Taste the World, and Georgia Gemstone and Geology are held indoors with playtime outside afterward. Zip lining and rock climbing are available upon request for an additional cost.
2020 Field Trip Pricing
Field Trip Admission: $12

Taste the World: $17.99 (includes lunch from around the world and game show, contact The Rock Ranch for a quote which varies based on group size)
Tax Exempt: If your group is tax exempt, please email a copy of your Georgia tax exempt certificate to james@therockranch.com at least a week prior to the day of your field trip. If we do not have one on file before the field trip, you will be charged tax. The tax exemption will only apply to the children’s admission paying through the school.

Fall Field Trips
The Rock Ranch is open for Fall 2019 field trips from October 1 to November 22. Guided programs include “Pilgrim to Pioneer Days,” the “Georgia History Corn Maze,” “Georgia Gems and Geology” (gem mining, rock museum and fossil dig experience), and “Taste the World” cultural culinary and trivia event based on middle school curriculum standards.
Each guided educational program finishes up with playtime on “the hill” with activities like the giant jumping pillow, tug-of-war, slide hill, Tiny Town, and more.
Year-Round Field Trips
The Rock Ranch also offers a year-round field trip option called “Taste the World.” This field trip is perfect for 6th and 7th grade students. This culinary, cultural adventure incorporates Georgia Standards and Curriculum with global cuisine and experiential learning.
While on this field trip, students have the chance to sample foods from somewhere as close as Canada, as well as foods from countries as far as China. Of course, The Rock Ranch also offers the opportunity to have fun at some of its main activities.

Visit a GPS plate tectonic monitoring station on the farm, one of 1,100 in the world! This field trip covers Georgia Standards of Excellence for K, 2, 3, 5, and High School. Offered year-round.
