Spanish term or phrase: Fincas agroturisticas
Estoy traduciendo el directorio de un hotel y en la lista de atracciones locales, aparecen unas indicaciones para ubicarlas. Estoy atascada con algunas de ellas.

"Atracción turística (ubicación)

Puente Marisela (Municipio Pedro Camejo vía Puerto Ayacucho)
Redoma de los caimanes (**entrada a San Fernando sentido hacia Caracas**)
Estatua de Negro Primero (**entrada a San Fernando sentido hacia Caracas**)
Estatua de Páez (final del primer tramo de Boulevard San Fernando)
Boulevard de San Fernando (entrada de San Fernando desde Caracas hasta llegar a la estatua de San Fernando)
Casa de Bolívar (Al frente del Palacio de Justicia)
Palacio de Justicia (a una cuadra del nuevo Palacio de Gobierno)
Reserva de flora y fauna
Observación de aves endémicas
**Fincas agroturisticas**"

hasta ahora, tengo "agrotourist farms", pero no parece ser una expresión de uso frecuente. Muchas gracias por adelantado por sus sugerencias

Reference comments

Reference: "Working farms open to the public"

Reference information:
this is another option, although rather long:

Vermont Farms! Association, working farms open to the public, invites you to enjoy the sights, sounds, and experience of Spring, and of all the great days of farm life.
http://www.vtfarms.org/news.php/sid/5/aid/6/nid/20

the generic term would be "farm tourism" as Mariana suggested.
