Fair Oaks Farms is open year-round, seven days a week. For more specific hours, check our homepage or our Facebook page.
You do not need to schedule ahead of time to experience the tours that we offer here at the farm. For larger groups (20+), however, we do ask you to schedule ahead of time with our Adventure Coordinator.
We recommend 2 hours for each- The Dairy Adventure and Pig Adventure. They are mostly self-guided tours so you can slow down or speed up to accommodate your own pace. Add 1 hour for The Crop Adventure. Add 1 hour for Mooville.
Fair Oaks Farms is on Central Standard Time. (Chicago Time)
