4 Public Sports Stadium Tours in Southern California

Posted on March 29, 2019 | Filed Under: Field trips in Los Angeles, Field Trips in Orange County, Field Trips in San Diego | 1 Comment

Are you a sports fan or have a future major league sports player in your family? Then take them on a tour of your local ballpark where home runs are “splash hits!” During a behind the scenes tour of a sports arena, visitors learn about the history of a sports team that is deeply ingrained in the fabric of American culture, the construction of a stadium and how a sports team is operated on a daily basis.

In Southern California, we are lucky enough to have 4 major sports stadiums that offer both public and private tours for community groups, schools and scout troops. When you call to set up a tour, make sure to ask guest services about the price of the tour, where to meet, what to bring, how long it will last and if they have a policy about taking photos. Most importantly, have fun!

Farm Tours for Kids in Southern California

Posted on March 28, 2019 | Filed Under: Field trips in Los Angeles, Field Trips in Orange County, Field Trips in Riverside, Field Trips in San Bernardino, Field Trips in San Diego, Field Trips in Santa Barbara, Field Trips In Ventura | 19 Comments

Have you heard of the term Farm-to-table? According to Wikipedia, “Farm-to-table (or farm-to-fork) refers to the stages of the production of food which includes harvesting, storage, processing, packaging, sales and consumption. Farm-to-table also refers to a movement concerned with producing food locally and delivering that food to local consumers.”

Do your children know where their food comes from? In a desire to teach my own, I have taken my children to a couple of local farms to take a tour. The purpose of a farm tour is to connect people with the farmers and land that grow their food. During a tour, you get a behind-the-scenes look at how a variety of food is grown and meet farmers who grow crops and raise livestock. In fact, the food your family eats may in fact come from one of Southern California’s family farms.

So take a peak at this list of local farms in our area and schedule a tour today!
