Kids Parties

Collingwood Children’s Farm is the perfect location for kids birthday parties, with acres of magical gardens and green space for little ones to play in and explore!

Our experienced Events team take the work out of organising your party. We set you up in the Stables Paddock, a picturesque spot nestled between the river and Nursery Garden. This is your home base for the day, with a marquee, two trestle tables and hay bales for Farm-style seating included in your booking. Got a few more guests? No worries, you can book extra marquees and tables at an additional cost.

Your guests can either book their tickets in advance or we can keep a tally of the guests on the day and process payment for their entry after your party. This minimises stress about RSVPs and no-shows.

Discover the catering and entertainment options you can add to your booking below, from delicious party food from our neighbours at the Farm Cafe to a private guinea pig cuddling session.

What have we got on offer?

  • The Farm Cafe has excellent catering options which we wholeheartedly recommend. You are also welcome to organise your own catering or BYO food and drinks (nothing alcoholic).

    Please note, there are no cooking facilities at the Farm.

  • A guinea pig cuddle session is 30 minutes long and caters for up to 30 children (and adults if they like). These sessions are run by one of our friendly Farm Experience team members who can tell you all about the guinea pigs’ names and their individual quirks. A session with these cute critters costs $130.

  • Book a session of face painting for your party! The initial two hours are $260 - time enough for around 35 children. Additional hours are $90.

    Please note, if you have more than 35 children attending you must book additional hours.

  • The Party Wagon is a cute little wooden wagon that comes with a picnic blanket, compostable plates and cutlery, and outdoor wooden games like quoits and scatter. This can be booked on its own for small-scale parties that don't require full party set up, or as an add-on to your larger party booking. The wagon hire costs $60 and there is a $60 bond, refunded when the wagon is returned with all of its contents intact.

    Party. Sorted.
