Lovely day out and the sun was shining! Fed the lambs, held a chick, and fed all the other animals with the bags of feed we bought! Played around the different play areas before the tractor ride, then back to play before the barrel ride! Coffee, juice and a hotdogs at the cafe, another play before setting off home! Son loved it until it was time to leave! ?

Our Grandson enjoyed it but we thought it a tad expensive.
The poor reindeer were distressed, the enclosure is far too small.

What a great little hidden gem, the price for entry was great for the 2 adults and 3 children. Lots to see and do for everyone. The children loved the barrel ride and the tractor ride was fun for everyone. Everyone loved holding the baby Chicks and brushing the rabbit. With all of these things included in the price plus more you can't not love the farm and what it has to offer. All the staff were extremely friendly and happy to answer any questions the children asked about the animals.. we will be back for more fun down at the farm very soon

This is a fantastic little farm. The animals looked well after and the adventure areas are great for the kids. My 4 and 2 year old absolutely loved the play areas.
For the price of admission you get heaps, with the tractor ride being more fun than I expected (look at for the great countryside views).
I highly recommend this farm for anyone travelling through or local.

Very large, great place just for the play areas - not many animals if you want a specific "petting zoo", so to speak. But this is packed with lots of things for the kids to see and do, we spent a good day here and enjoyed the space for a picnic.
