School holiday program
Bookings are now open for our 2026 Winter School Holiday Program for 30 June, and 2, 6, 8 and 10 July.
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.
Tuesday 30 June: Animal Enrichment
Help our animals to live their best lives! Today we’ll make them some very special toys and treats.
Thursday 2 July: Winter Warmers
Warm up today with some delicious farm cooking! After roaming the farm, we’ll bake scones to enjoy with a cup of hot chocolate.
Monday 6 July: Buckets and Barrows
Be a farmer for the day! Prepare feed for the animals and deliver their meals by wheelbarrow and bucket.
Wednesday 8 July: Hidden Habitats
Meet our friendly animals, then discover some of the lesser-known farm residents! Today we search for the wild creatures, with magnifying glass and binoculars in hand!
Friday 10 July: From the Ground Up
Healthy animals need good pasture! Help us to care for the farm with some hands-on composting and planting.
Cost: $70 per child, per day.
