You can feed the ducks at the pond (most of the time), watch and pet the goats climbing around, and see horses, cows, bunnies, sheep and more. It fills me up with joy being around nature and animals in such close proximity to a very crowded area. The staff are kind and care for the animals impeccably, which makes this special farm feel community-focused. It's one of the local go-to spots that kids and adults equally love and enjoy.

There's paths to walk, shaded picnic areas to hide under on hotter days, and over 200 animals and birds to view. Horses, cows, chickens, peacocks, potbelly bigs, rabbits, oh and... a ton of goats. One of our favourite parts is the "petting zoo" area where you can get up close and personal with goats who love scritches. The farm hands are friendly, handwash stations are available, and parking is free. What's not to like about this place? I find it very relaxing to be amongst the animals and on a farm when most of my time is spent in the city or glued to a monitor. It really puts things in perspective. In any case, I think it's worth a couple hours of your day to stop by and say hello to some majestic animals.

I went on a sunny Thanksgiving day so it was packed. I came here in 2020 and the farm has expanded so much it's almost unrecognisable. There's a lot of stations you'd have to queue for to hold animals like bunnies, ducks, etc. You could spend so much time here. There's also a little market for treats and drinks. Lots of places to take cute photos at!

There are lots of baby animals to pet and feed at the farm. It was quite interesting how every animal seems to be very hungry or know what to do when they see human. Also there are no adult animals here. Guess they must have moved them elsewhere after they have grown up. The place is definitely made for kids. There is a bouncy castle setup on site. You can bring your own catered food to the party. At the party, we occupied one of the three tents that were setup. The tent was quite small and can't really hold everyone inside. We definitely had a great time. The kids at the party had a wonderful time. Free parking is available on site. If you want to have decoration at your own party, this is on your own.
