Children and families

Group excursions for groups of children and families, “countryside adventure”

Country-themed excursions with programmes for children, young people and families, from spring to autumn. The programme is engaging and includes skills and information related to the countryside and/or animals. Premises, catering and practical arrangements are available whatever the weather.
Join us for an excursion

Both adults and children: please wear clothes that are easy to wash. Outerwear should be taken off for the duration of the journey (both children and adults). Wear something warm and wind-resistant, layers are recommended. Footwear should be able to handle “countriness”.
• We recommend bringing rainwear, just in case.
• Push chairs or carts, or sledges in the winter, are a good idea for younger ones. The terrain is rocky.
• Money for the kiosk (= coins) should be put in a zippered pocket. Small sweets, soft drinks, ice cream and small souvenirs are available at the kiosk. Max 5 euros should be plenty. Younger school children can practice for the “maths lesson” in advance, for example, by adding up 1e + 50c + 50c.
• You may bring a little something for the animals, such as, vegetables, lettuce, dry bread (please make sure there is no mould). You may feed the sheep, goats, rabbits and birds but not horses, for example. They have a more regulated diet so that they stay friendly and won’t learn to nip.
• Evening groups may bring torches, for example, for the quirky tunnel and other exciting places
• Especially in the summer time, most of the programme premises are wheelchair accessible, for example, milking, animals’ outdoor fences, horse programmes, the shore area and dining facilities.
