The tour consists of a braille and tactile book workshop, fun blindfold and sighted guide games, a visit to our petting zoo and a meet and greet with our 14 horses. The children will eat their lunch in our beautiful garden or JoJos coffee shop and the teachers will receive complimentary pizzas from our outdoor stone pizza oven.
