FAQs

Do you have EFTPOS?

Yes - we have EFTPOS in reception and accept credit cards. There's no EFTPOS in the food cart, but you can get cash out at reception

Is there food available at Animal Farm?

Yes - there's a food cart and we make delicious, fresh scones or muffins every morning. We also have great coffee, kids' meals, toasted sandwiches, hot chips and cold drinks.

And if you fancy a frozen treat, you can buy Tip Top icecreams at reception.

Mum and Dad - you can sit and enjoy your coffee under the covered picnic area while the kids run around and play in the sandpit!

Can we bring our own food?

Yes - you're welcome to bring your own picnic food.  There are picnic tables and shade sails available for you to use and enjoy.

Can we bring dogs?

Sorry, no - only guide dogs are allowed, as dogs may frighten the animals.

Do we need to wear gumboots?

It's your choice. All the paths are gravelled, but there may be some puddles after heavy rain. You can enter some of the animal enclosures and there can be quite a lot of walking around involved as well - so whatever you decide, we recommend sensible shoes.

Can we bring in food for the animals?

Sorry, no - we can't let visitors bring in food for the animals. For the sake of their health, we need to know what type and amount of food they're getting.  However, you can buy buckets of pellets from reception to feed them.

Can we drop our children off at the farm park?

For their own safety, children up to and including 14 years old must be accompanied by an adult. This is because of the hands-on nature of the farm park and the high level of interaction with animals.

Can we smoke?

Sorry, no – Animal Farm is a smoke-free environment.

If you have further questions, please contact us.

We look forward to your visit!
