Calling all teachers, troop leaders, homeschoolers, and curious kids of all kinds!
Step away from the screen and into the fresh air for a memorable, muddy-boots kind of day at Cardinale Farms — a wonderland of hands-on discovery, furry friends, and farm-fueled fun spread across nearly 60 acres in Howell, New Jersey.
We design every visit to spark curiosity, laughter, and a deeper connection to the natural world — all while aligning with educational goals and age-appropriate learning.
