On the Day of Your Visit

Timing

It is suggested and Very Helpful to arrive at least 15 to 30 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time in order to have a restroom break and finish registration formalities.

Although we undurstand that field trip allowances can often be shortened by travel times, allow as much time as possible to visit and explore after the guided visit .

Example :1 Hour for guided visit and 1Hour free exploration to see the rest of the artisans, animals…

Classes having become familiar with themes that will be touched upon in their visit (see our constantly evolving pedagogic pages on our website) will certainly be much more out of their field trip, especially if you have time restrictions.
