This place is such a treat to have locally! Gives our family a great cheap (gold coin donation) outing for an afternoon of fun! The kids love looking at the animals, the fruit and veg that grows around and just being on a farm! Think a few posters letting people know where they can go on the farm and also signs about the electric fences would be helpful! We never knew if they were on or not!

I'm in love with this whole place now. It's the best for little kids because they get to see lots of different animals and it's only a donation to get in.. There is a goat and cow, lots of chickens a turkey, Shetland (i think) pony, guinea pigs (and i'm sure i've left some out). The best thing is you don't have to stay for ages (like when you pay for zoo admission) you can just pop in say hi to animals and go. the kids love it. there is a little caravan for treats too. and heaps of courses you can take advantage of (for a fee) if you are inclined. I can't wait to have an 'event' here....the facilities are great.

Trying to find a venue to gather the your nearest and dearest, and its even harder if you have lots of little people to consider. We recently held our daughters birthday at the Edendale Farm and it was a HUGE success - I thought that the older kids would need to head over to the Eltham North Adventure Playground (just 5 mins walk) at some stage but no - they were all engrosed in the farm animals (of which there are many babies this time of year) and following the trail. They even got to feed the baby goats! Everyone was happy - I strongly recommend it - you can book ahead as we did to secure a shelter for yourself or you can risk it. With the walking track and playground just out the back it is a full day of fun for all the family.
