A taste of country life is only ten minutes from the urban sprawl, at Collingwood Children’s Farm. When you stand in the middle of this little farm, it is hard to believe exactly you are in such close proximity to the centre of the city. This farm is believed to be the oldest working farm in Victoria, with details of European farmers working the land here since 1838. It is a perfect spot for your little ones to explore and for a family adventure!

The grounds are beautiful and lots of interactive animals talks occur throughout the day so be sure to check the timetable and map at The Barn before you head further into the farm to explore! There are lots of picnic tables, so pack a lunch and enjoy your visit leisurely.

You can pat the ponies, spy on some sheep, chase some chooks and of course, get up close with a herd of goats. It doesn’t stop there! Some days there is cow milking and brushing, craft activities in the barn, guinea-pig cuddles and on some selected weekends, tractor rides AND pony rides.

You will find all the classic farm life activities going on as you wonder throughout the yards including the kitchen garden and chook pens. Having a party here sounds ace with your own farmer host and tours of all the animals. Plus it can be catered by the Farm Cafe, which is a pretty good choice for all visiting the farm or just walking past.
