Your hands-on animal experience

Visit our modern, interactive, family-oriented farm park!

You'll enjoy a variety of hands-on activities including bottle feeding (in season), llama walking, donkey riding, catching and releasing native crayfish, and much more.

In the petting area you can stroke the friendly goats, sheep, pigs, donkeys and mini horses - plus there are lots of rabbits and guinea pigs to cuddle. 

You're welcome to bring your own picnic, or you can order lunch, snacks and drinks from our cart.

Plan your visit around our daily timetable of fun activities, available every day.

Specialising in rare breeds

You'll love meeting many of the 40-plus rare breeds at Animal Farm.

And you'll have lots of room to spread out: the farm is set on 17 hectares so there's lots of space for everyone - visitors, animals and staff alike - and a real farm feel.

This is a modern 21st century farm park where the animals are healthy and happy, and by their own choice will come running up to say hello!

Perfect place to visit with kids

We took our three kids (3, 6 and 9) to Animal Farm and had a great time. The staff are really friendly and our kids loved getting in the enclosures and hand-feeding the cute little pigs, goats, and lots of other animals. It's great to have places like this that let you walk among the animals, try out things like fishing with nets, pony rides, in a clean and safe environment. (The staff are continually clearing the grounds which is brilliant so the kids won't traipse you know what back into the car!)

I think the prices are very reasonable too, cheaper than taking the kids to a movie.

Thanks for a great afternoon. We'll be back!
