School holiday program

The farm's holiday programs run in the Easter, Winter and Spring school holidays. There is no holiday program in the Summer holidays.  

  • 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 which runs from 10am—3pm and is fully supervised by our experienced program leaders.
  • All days of the program include time with the friendly farm animals and a visit with the emus and kangaroos too.
  • Each afternoon will include a fun activity. These activities will be different and dependent on the weather.
  • Children need to bring a morning tea snack and lunch, or place an order with the café.
  • Cost: $68 per child, per day. 

If you have any questions about the farm's school holiday programs, please get in touch.
