Who Should Take the Dairy Farm Tour

The Shamrock Farms tour is appropriate for all ages. It is not especially strenuous. The ability to step in and out of the tram, and walk a flight of stairs (with a handrail) will be your only requirements. There is an elevator for those that can't use the stairs.

Having taken the tour, I believe that the people who'll get the most out of the tour are ages 8 and up. It isn't that there aren't things to do for the little ones--there's actually a ten minute stop at a special and very enjoyable playground. Still, this is more an educational tour than a tour where kids run around and play, as might be offered by some smaller farms.

Roxie told me this, and said I can tell you: The cleanliness of this facility is striking. You'd think that with 10,000 cows, that there would be overwhelming odor. Not true. When you take the tour, ask them why.
