Great fun for the kids. They get to meet lots of different animals and go for an explore. The parking lot is a bit on the small side so can be hard to find a park

Animals are overfed, closures were small, and especially the birds, foxes and dingoes. Found an extremely sick cat, with pus coming from its reproductive system. Staff showed no care or concern. Said it’s not their cat. Begged them to get a vet to see to the poor little girl. Left feeling disgusted. This is pure animal exploitation.

We had so much fun today. All the kids enjoyed the farm and it has so much to offer. We saw a reptile show, fed the animals, walked through the maze, took photos with the wildlife, played mini golf, went on a tractor ride and had coffee at the Cafe. The kids played on all of the outdoor play areas, they enjoyed it all! This placed is definitely worth the visit. Awesome hidden gem, we will be back for sure! People are leaving comments about the high ticket prices, once you take into consideration the cost of animal feed and maintenance I think it's reasonable. There is so much to do and see here! Thank you for your hospitality.

Fun place for kids. The walking track is unsealed therefore take gum boots on wet day. There is room for improvement in dining area and toilet especially hygiene. Overall excellent experience.

Won't be rushing back there. Not many animals to interact with. I think a petting zoo has way more animals for the kids then what was there. My son loved the diggers but the aim to go there was for the animals.

A great farm. Plenty of big animals and they seem to be well fed. Also a lot of play choices for kids. Will visit again.

Great place to visit with kids! I love that they have a playground in the farm, it definitely gives parents a rest time lol

Seriously the best children's farm in Victoria. Very well planned, with parents and families in mind. Super entertaining from the moment you walk in. We were greeted by the Geese parade and a friendly Billy Goat who, leaning over his fence, front hooves up, just chilling, waiting for a good pat and some feed. Animal highlights were feeding the monster ostriches (ostrich 1, human 0), feeding the camels, and seeing Dusty the sheepdog do his thing. The three cute little piggies that were recently born were also great to see.
No areas for improvement, this place is awesome. Would recommend to anyone.

Lots to see and do here for hours! Multiple play areas for the kids in addition to the animals and shows.

My partner and I visited this farm as we wanted to do something different for the day and we would definitely recommend it to people of all ages! Being up close and feeding the farm animals was so much fun. We loved Jane Doe, the deer and Michelle & Barrack Ollama.

We also watched the sheepdog show which was super interesting. Luke, who ran the show, was very knowledgeable and was happy to answer any questions we had. Dusty the sheepdog was also such a superstar

Overall a great experience if you love animals just as much as we do!

So much fun. We were really surprised by how good our day was here. We had 2 kids under 5yo and they had a blast from feeding animals, to holding Guinea pig, to the sheep dog show and then the reptile show. Wonderful day. The reptiles show guy was hilarious with his one lines and jokes said with such a straight laced face. Fun for the adults and the kids. The splash park was a great end to the day

Have been here 3 times now, the most recent for my sons 3rd Birthday with his Aunt and cousins and sister. Always an amazing day out, yes it’s more costly than other childrens farms but if you’re going in Summer, you get the Splash Park which makes it worth it. Don’t think I’d pay those prices in Winter though, especially when mini golf, rides etc are extra. Also I must ask why the stuffed Guinea Pig is almost double the price of the other stuffed animals? It’s the smallest toy on offer but has the highest price tag? Lol my kids really wanted one but at $28 each it was way too much. Was also very hard to find any staff unless you went to the front kiosk or the cafe, my nieces hat flew off into the front paddock and my sister had to look for ages for someone to help (we’d just gotten there and it was very sunny and windy 28C so hat was definitely needed! Sad to not have pony rides there anymore too, was my kids fave part on previous visits but may have been a weather issue as it may have been too hot to work the ponies.
Overall, as long as you bring your own food and drinks, the price is worth it…. On warm days (over 26 for splash park). Well worth the drive and the kids will definitely have a ball! Our kids were ages 3 (just turned that week), 4,8 and 9 and every one of them had the best day ever!

Disappointed with the lack of big geese. I feel like the goose here. Not at all what I expected

Would Recommend to any family with kids. We went to the Reptile show and got a stand up Comedy show as well. Lachie you were funny and I laughed the whole way through so thanks for the laughs as well as being informative. Food at the Cafe was very yummy. Was expecting garbage but was very surprised. My 16 month old Son loved it as well. Would go back again.

A very fun experience for the whole family. The little one really enjoyed the wombat feeding session and the chance to get up close to so many animals.

Great play area for kids with playground, pirate ship and water park under shade, the kids loved those. Reptile session (snakes) freaked me out but was entertaining. Kids loved patting guinea pigs. Not so many animals to feed as we'd thought and geese a bit intimidating if you had feed or any bag that looked or sounded like feed. Tractor ride would be better if had running commentary. Would come back again if in the area.

Our boys spent 5 hours here, feeding the animals, patting the guinea pigs, watching the wombat feed, playing in the adventure playground, tractor ride and our fav the reptile show with Lachlan - hilarious, educational, so great.

So amazing! Lots to be entertained most of the day. We fed the animals, had a tractor ride, played mini golf, and played in the adventure playground. The food was surprisingly yummy for the typical fast food Cafe style, all freshly cooked. Highly recommend.
