An Ag-Venture Awaits!
The 2026 Ekka Learning Trail is a self-guided experience designed especially for primary students, bringing classroom learning to life through 10 interactive trail points located within the Ag Education Hall.
Students can collect a Learning Trail Passport and gather stamps as they explore engaging, curriculum-linked activities. From making butter and sorting wool to discovering where food and fibre come from, students will gain a deeper understanding of Queensland's agricultural industries - and even learn how to become a backyard farmer.
Passport booklets can be collected during Ekka from Guest Services or the Learning Trail Information Booth in the Ag Education Hall. Schools booking an Ekka excursion can request Learning Trail Passport Booklets ahead of their visit, allowing students to start planning their ag-venture before arriving at Ekka.
Don't miss this exciting opportunity to immerse your students in Queensland's largest agricultural classroom.
Discover the Learning Trail
Packed with opportunities to see, touch, create and learn, the trail helps students connect classroom concepts with real-world agriculture through fun, hands-on experiences.
