Special Occasions

Moher Hill Open Farm is an ideal venue for a school trip. At the farm we offer two programmes specifically designed to educate, entertain and excite children while playing on their innate curiosity.

School Tours

Pre-School Programme ‘Little Farmers’

The pre-school programme at Moher Hill Open farm is specifically designed with the Aistear programme in mind. The farm programme follows the theme of ‘Exploring and Thinking’ and the aim within this is for children to make ‘sense of the things, places and people in their world by interacting with others, playing, investigating, questioning’ (Aistear Programme p.43).

The farm tour extends young children’s knowledge of their world through feeding, interacting with and learning about animals and their young. The children have an opportunity to play in the bouncing castle, ball pool, go karts and outdoor play areas.


Primary School Programme ‘Farm Explorers’

The primary school tour is easily adaptable for both Junior and Senior classes, and can be adjusted according to the needs of each school group. This programme covers many areas of the Primary School Curriculum such as; within the Science Curriculum, the Strand Living Things; within the Geography Curriculum, the Strand Environmental Awareness and Care.

Children have an option to feed both farm and exotic animals, learn about animal nutrition, discover facts about each animal on the farm, and examine animal products such as: wool, eggs, etc. Children then get an opportunity to play in the bouncing castle, ball pool, indoor and outdoor go-karts, out-door play area and sand-pit.

Mini-Golf Option: Tours of children 8 years and up have an opportunity to play mini-golf
