Gibbs Farm — Attraction in Falcon Heights

Went with my first graders last week and was not impressed. As a farm, was expecting more animals and hands on activities to engage students. Instead it was a lot of story telling and not well planned activities. Perhaps it was just that we had a poor guide. He was very graphic about some violent aspects of the Dakota life talking about cutting open a buffalo head and using the brains to smash on the hide and stabbing muscrats until the whole family was dead. At one point he demonstrated how to build a teepee. He was not very clearly about explaining what to do and at one point walked away from the wooden posts and they fell over nearly missing a 6 year olds head by inches! She would have been seriously injured had they hit her. We ended at a bracelet making activity that was very challenging for most of the 6 year olds and required a lot of adult assistance. I tried to keep things moving so we wouldn't miss our busses and reminded him that we had to meet busses and were running late. He had the nerve to tell a fellow tour guide as we were leaving that we "had trouble rounding up the kids" and that was why we were late. Next year we will be looking for a new field...

My child went to Gibbs farm as part of a class field trip. We where informed to have a disposable lunch and a disposable water bottle with him.

He informed me after they had a quick lunch and he barely had time to drink the guide informed him he has to throw away his water because " what was in the exhibits ", even though multiple other kids had refillable water bottles and where allowed to keep them through out the day.

Also he stated they didn't have aby drinking fountain ethier.

Parents be warned send your kids with refillable water...

I would give this place 0 stars if it let me.I found a post saying that they had a holloween party on the 29th from 10 to 4. I showed up with my two toddlers and was told that I was mistaken. After I showed the woman the post she said, very rudely, I had to leave. I wouldn't have rated this place if I was shown a little respect and they took a little responsibility and apologized for there mistake. I will never recomend or go there again....
