The Welcome Center Barn is where tour groups assemble. The group heads meets the tour guide, who provides an overview of the tour, and some basic ground rules. You'll get on an open air tram, and start out on your one hour adventure. You'll see where Roxie and the girls live, with their modern cooling systems, the milking barn, and the calf nursery. Other tour highlights include Roxie’s Outdoor Adventure and Think Your Drink zone, where people can compare the nutritional value of milk versus other beverages.

Roxie told me this, and said I can tell you: When you gather for your tour you'll see a sign with a picture of Roxie and a number underneath. That's how many calves were born just that day. Some lucky tour participants get to see a birth during their tour--we did!
