School holiday program
Bookings are now open for our 2026 Autumn School Holiday Program for 8, 10, 13 and 17 April.
Our interactive and fun-filled holiday program is open to primary school children from Grades Prep to Six. It is a drop off, pick up program that runs from 10am to 3pm and is fully supervised by our experienced program leaders. Children will need to bring a morning snack and lunch (or place an order with the café).
Each day includes a range of fun activities, time with the farm animals and a wildlife park ride to visit our kangaroos and emus.
Wednesday 8 April: Buckets and Barrows
Be a farmer for the day! Prepare feed for the animals and deliver their meals by wheelbarrow and bucket.
Friday 10 April: From the Ground Up
Help us look after the farm for our furry and feathery friends. Today we’ll get our hands dirty in the gardens with some farm composting and planting.
Monday 13 April: Hidden Habitats
Today we explore high and low to find the hidden animals of Bundoora Park Farm. Bring your gumboots – we'll be searching the pond too!
Friday 17 April: Animal Enrichment
Help our animals to live their best lives! Today we’ll be making them some very special toys and treats.
Cost: $70 per child, per day.
