Join us on Friday, June 27th for fun with frogs and toads. Students will have the opportunity to learn about the anatomy of both frogs and toads, about the life cycle of frogs and toads, and have the opportunity to take a look at a living frog or toad. Our friends from the West Des Moines Public library will join us for a story. NEW for 2025, a reservation is required! Rose Farm will release tickets every Monday (mark your calendar for June 23rd) for the upcoming Friday Farm School. The farm will host 50 children at each session. There is no fee to attend and tickets are complimentary to every child. You are welcome to bring along your lawn chair or a blanket. Our lessons and stories are geared towards school-age children. However, we welcome guests of all ages as there are sensory experiences beneficial to even the youngest guest. You'll also find sweet treats and drinks available for purchase in The Shoppe.
