Field Trips

Bongo Boy can host a number of different groups for a field trip experience.  Most field trips are one hour in length with 45 minutes dedicated to facilitated rhythm activities. The cost is $5/person for groups of 30 or more.  If the group is less than 30 people there is a minimum fee of $150/hour.  We can tailor your field trip to your specific needs.  Preschools often focus on rhythm and movement while elementary age and up focus on rhythm activities through drum circles.

In the heart of Indianapolis is a home for passion, creativity, innovation, and the highest caliber of professional and student performances – the Butler Arts Center. Consolidating four arts venues on the campus of Butler University under one umbrella organization, The Center is anchored by Clowes Memorial Hall, which seats 2,148 and after 53 years remains Indiana’s most versatile and professional venue, having welcomed the world’s greatest talent and personalities—a star-studded list that includes Maya Angelou and Bill Clinton, Mikhail Baryshnikov and Itzhak Perlman, Wynton Marsalis and Sir Elton John. The Schrott Center for the Arts, completed in 2013, adds a one-of-a-kind, student- and community-focused facility to the Butler Arts Center. At just 454 seats, but with a full-size proscenium stage, the venue is designed to optimize acoustics and sightlines, and is equally well-suited for music, dance, and theatre. Eidson-Duckwall Recital Hall seats 138 in a space ideal for intimate recitals, concerts, talks, and lectures.

In 1967 our organization began in a small pumpkin patch on Sergeant Road in Indianapolis. Many families and school children soon learned about “the patch” and in three years, we outgrew that location. The search for a special place where families could have a real farm experience led to Noblesville. An 1860s era farm situated on 50 acres of rolling farmland and woods became the new home of the “Pumpkin Harvest Festival.” The farm was named after Stony Creek, which meanders through the property. This creek was a Native American trade route and the site of an old gristmill. Many changes have occurred at Stonycreek Farm, but we still take great joy in seeing children pick their first pumpkin, go creek stomping with the YMCA, or listening to a church group singing on an autumn hayride. We now have third generation families picking their own pumpkins and starting a new tradition of cutting their own Christmas trees. We hope you and your family will join us and make the farm one of your family traditions. We look forward to seeing you this year as we celebrate our 43rd Anniversary!
