Melbourne's favourite city farm

The Collingwood Children's Farm is the only place in the city where children can get a close experience with real farm animals.
Cows, horses, pigs, goats, sheep, geese, peacocks, ducks, chickens, cats, guinea pigs, bees and earthworms - quite a selection.
You can help milk the cows at 10am and 4pm everyday.

    What a truly magical place the Collingwood Children's Farm is. I recently payed a visit with my children for the first time and had a ball, very special experience for my city kids despite the wet weather. I was so pleased with the success of the day that I organised an excursion for my preps The farm staff were extremely helpful; Ainsley the receptionist even helped me plan my Unit! A wonderful learning environment
    .
    The farm also has a farmers' market some weekends which is well worth the gold coin donation for entry.

    Old McDonald had a farm, and I bet it was not as nice as Collingwood Chidren's Farm. My boys loved the close interaction with the animals, the favourite was the guinea pig who pee'd on my sons leg much to his disgust and the joy of his brother. The fresh air and sunshine whilst not obligatory did make for a wonderful fun packed morning.
    Topped off with homemade cakes and chocolate milkshakes from the beautiful farm cafe, I loved the lady who served us she had a real understanding of customer service. Eynid Blighton wrote stories of this place and it's great to know that a fantasy world for chidren still exists in the heart of surburbia.

    Yes, a great place for the children, that's a given. My children love going here and so did I until we experienced a horribly rude member of staff tell my young son off for something not his fault. If she'd given him a chance to explain before rudely biting his head off and giving him and I the evil-eye, we could have told her my son was actually trying to help her. He's special needs (not that he has a sign on his head) and I complained about it to the Farm. No response, which is pretty pathetic. Have since been told by other frequent visitors to the park that this woman should change jobs if she's that nasty to little kids.

    Terrific place to take the kids. Chooks, pigs, goats, horses...the lot. We paid $16 for the family. There's a farmers market on every second Saturday in the month, making it a fun place for the parents as well. Great weekend outing and very popular.

    Gold coin donation entry when farmer's market is on (Saturdays). Lots of colour and movement. Great Sat morning out with the kids.

    Great place to take the kids. Recommend that you visit during the farmers market which is every second Saturday. (It is cheaper to enter then).

    Ultimate Melbourne

    Thursday, August 19, 2010

    A rural retreat in the heart of inner Melbourne, the Collingwood Children’s Farm is set on 6.5 hectares of land just 4kms from the CBD. Open daily from 9am-5pm, city kids can get a taste of farm life through activities such as cow milking and the opportunity to get up close and personal with the resident horses, cows, ducks, pigs and chickens. The Farmer’s Market, held on the second Saturday of each month, is also worth a visit to stock up on fresh local produce.
