bundoora park farm, bundoora
/I am yet to meet a kid who doesn't love the farm! The mud, the noises, the smells and the animals. Being able to get up close and pat a goat, say hello to the ponies and smile at a donkey. All is here at Bundoora Park Farm - a council-run farmyard north of Melbourne. This place has everything, including a walk-in barnyard where you can pat the lambs and goats and opportunities to cuddle the guinea pigs. Be sure to check out the view from above the alpaca yard and check the Farm Activity Schedule for feeding times.
Take the open little bus rides (at additional costs) through the native wildlife reserves, where you can wave to the kangaroos and watch the emus hover around the front gate, trying to escape the enclosure. Cheeky little things!
Need more? How about a massive wooden playground with a mammoth slide in the middle of the farm? Well, they have that too! A seriously fun day out for all the family.

Mamma's special mention: You can't visit the farm without visiting the cafe and then hopping next door for a visit to the All Abilities Playspace. Or of course you can time your visit with the Bundoora Farmers Market which happens on the first Saturday of the month in Bundoora Park.
