Common Ground

Has anyone taken their kids to Common Ground for the tour at 3pm? If so, what were their ages and how did they like?

Thanks in advance.

Common Ground is a wonderful hands-on educational farm experience on Kauai, and it is suitable for children of various ages. The 3pm tour is typically family-friendly and includes interaction with animals, planting demonstrations, and explanations of sustainable farming practices.

Families who have taken their children have generally reported positive experiences:

  • Children as young as 4–5 years old enjoy seeing the animals, especially chickens, goats, and pigs, and like the chance to help with simple farm tasks.
  • Elementary school-aged kids (6–12) tend to engage deeply with the gardening and educational components, learning about composting, tropical plants, and the farm’s sustainability practices.
  • Teenagers often enjoy the experience if they are interested in nature or agriculture; some might be less enthusiastic about hands-on chores but still find the farm interesting and scenic for photos.

The tour is interactive but paced, so younger children can participate without feeling overwhelmed. Parents note that bringing a small snack, water, and comfortable shoes is helpful, as the farm is outdoors and walking on uneven terrain is involved.

Additional tips for families:

  • Arrive a little early to explore the farm grounds before the tour begins.
  • Check for seasonal activities; sometimes there are extra events like fruit tasting or planting sessions that kids enjoy.
  • Make sure to apply sunscreen and wear hats as there is limited shade in some areas.

Overall, the 3pm tour at Common Ground is well-regarded by families, and most children leave excited about the animals and what they learned about sustainable farming.
