I went there with my family and I have to say all the bad reviews here are WRONG!! Please do not be influenced on them! It was a lot of fun and the animals were all taken care of and tamed very well! There were many goats and a lot of Guinea pigs, chickens and rabbits. The animals roamed free (within reason) and we're not harmed. It feels like a real farm! Loved it!
Visited for a friends birthday, and for a bunch of 5 year olds it was a fantastic day. Will be recommending to everyone I know with kiddies, and will be making return visits with my little family as much as possible.
Took 8 year old grand-daughter here today and actually had a really nice time. There are lots of animals to play with and she loved the bunnies and piglets in the barn - spent over an hour just in there! We had a picnic and thought the facilities, garden, outdoor seating areas, toilets etc. were very run down and could all do with a makeover. Felt sorry for the lone dingo in an enclosure that was so overgrown he could barely be seen. A turtle in a similarly overgrown enclosure was also a bit sad to see. Staff lovely and they do try to entertain the kids but it just needs a good cleanup, better signage, and more effort put into the gardens and enclosures. Grand-daughter loved it though!
The website said $35 for a family, we get there it's $40 for a family. Everything is so run down, there a few goats, pigs, ducks, rabbits, guinea pig. The tractor wasn't working and it was going to be the last time they used it but my kids didn't even get that ride, the staff didn't even care, he shrugged his shoulders and said next time. I'm telling you now buddy there will never ever be a 'next time' !!!!!! Really really disappointed!!!! I really didn't even want to give this 1 star but I had to.
We went with 2 adults and 3 kids. That was $40. (What would you pay for a movie or a trip to the Zoo - where it's crowded and you don't get that close to the animals?) We spent 3 hours there and then had to force the kids to the car. Beside all the animals you could pet (walk-in enclosures) and feed (sheep, goats, calves, ponys, pigs, ducks, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, dogs, doves, cockatoo, lizards,... - Lots of baby animals!!!) you could play in the hay barn or on the playground, go for a ride on the tractor or a pony ride ($2), grind grains into flour, pull each other on a little hay wagon and have lunch (we brought our own) at a picnic area. It is all very rustic and beautifully made (I have been to farms before where it was a bit "manicured". Not only the kids had a fantastic time!!!
Our Kinder went along. The kids loved all the activities, especially the hay ride and hay shed. Worth a look even if its not with your kinder. Not the best for a picnic if its damp.
What am amazing place for children to explore a farm. We were able to get up close and personal with so many animals. The tractor ride was definitely a highlight!!!
Just left and everyone agreed hands down best farm visit ever! We had a great day out. Friendly staff, loads of animals and a lot of hands on experiences.
I really enjoyed the Rain, Hayne and Shine Farm, they have pony rides for the kids, open access baby animal area. You can feed the pigs, go on a trailer ride pulled by a tractor, buy animal food to feed the animal with (which is a great family activity). It is the perfect place to go for a family outing though it is a big confusing who to pay. There are loving goats, cute cockatoos, stunning ponies, friendly pigs, super soft rabbits, guinea-pigs and adorable lambs. I would definitely recommend this activity to all family's young children and even slightly older children.
I have taken the kids a few times and had one of my kids birthday's there as well. It is a really up close and interactive experience that the kids love. To watch the kids to holding and patting the animals is such a joyous experience. The tractor ride is always a highlight and the kids will drag you back on for another and another.....It is a place that i will visit regularly
