Where a field trip becomes a discovery

A living, erupting geyser, a real-time seismograph, a heritage animal farm and room to roam — earth science that sticks, on one easy, walkable property.

School field trips, built for real learning

Our self-guided grounds and geology museum bring earth science to life. Students watch a natural geyser erupt, see how a seismograph works, and explore hands-on exhibits on volcanoes, earthquakes and geothermal activity — concepts that map directly to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for earth and space sciences. Pair the science with the animal farm and gardens, and you’ve got a full, memorable day that covers a lot of curriculum without feeling like work.
