Visited for the Mini Farm which was a great experience for our 2yo. The mini golf course looked AMAZING but wasn’t an option as we were there on a 35 degree day. The play station is situated along the beautiful Lake Burley Griffin. There’s BBQ areas close by and a water play area that’s perfect for toddlers. We had a great experience!

We were received by delightful and efficient staff. The display of farm animals is fun. We enjoyed feeding and petting a variety of animals including chickens, pigs, peacocks, llamas, goats, ducks, a turkey, and a cow. There are also several cages full of beautiful birds. The cockatoo on the fence rail may have been a frequent visitor rather than a resident! The grounds are lovely and there are several play areas that look inviting.

Recommended. The pigs were everyone’s favourites. As good as it is I would love to see them have some more engagement toys around.

The entire setup is poorly maintained and unsafe, especially for children. My son tripped and fell due to a lifted section of turf, and when trying to move out of the way, he tripped again on an unstable, wobbling bridge platform. It was distressing and could have been much worse. Many parts of the course have loose or torn artificial turf, exposed edges, and badly uneven surfaces that pose clear trip hazards. Cracked concrete, broken features, and worn-down furniture only add to the sense of neglect. Despite this, the price was surprisingly high for the condition of the venue. This place has great potential, but it clearly needs urgent repairs, proper maintenance, and a full safety inspection. Until that happens, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone — especially families with children.

We had a great time, and my daughter loved seeing the animals. However, there was no train ride, and we paid nearly $90 just for mini-golf and visiting the animals. It was a fun experience, but I feel it’s overpriced for what’s offered. I still recommend visiting, but I hope they adjust the fees to better match the activities provided.
