The Tour
During the seven days of the NAILE Education Program, your students will have up-close
experiences with many kinds of farm animals. And they’ll learn about the importance
of agriculture in our daily lives. Guides escort school groups through the cattle
barns. Your visit through the
show rings, educational exhibits and South Wing barn
areas is self-guided, so you can tour and learn at your own pace.

A fun, interactive playground teaches farmers' daily tasks. Children can dress as a lamb, drive miniature tractors in a

still have more learning experiences awaiting them!
