We are improving our field-trip days.
To help keep things safe & simple, Tues, Wed & Thurs we will ONLY be open for you.

We have 2 sessions, one morning, one afternoon. If you wish to be here longer than those hours, please sign up for the two sessions (if available) that day. Minimum of 25 paying people.

What is the difference between the reservations:
• Field trip: the typical school field trip. After your bus gets here, we will close the gate to our parking lot. Only the people on your bus are allowed in. The Stone Coop Market will be closed for the day (snacks and drinks not available for purchase, except for the snacks & water you order ahead of time)

• Events for Organizations: We know how special it is to host an event where the little ones in your organization can have fun with both their classmates/friends and their families! This option is designed specifically for schools and organizations running non-traditional field trips where extra guests are invited to join in the fun.

On the Tues, Wed & Thursday, The Patch will be closed to the general public during your visit, but The Stone Coop Market will be open to purchase gemstone mining bags, snacks, drinks, and gifts.

On the Fri, Sat & Sun, The Patch will be open to the public, and running as we normally operate. Your reservation ensures we have enough staffing to accommodate your group and to help us prepare for you.
