Daily Activities
Welcome to Collingwood Children’s Farm!
The Farm is many things to many people but what we aren’t is a park or a zoo; please don’t expect a petting zoo experience. We’re a thriving not-for-profit community farm in the heart of the city; a place to learn, explore, spend time in nature and connect with community.
We’re a place where everyone is welcome.
We’ll have fun activities on throughout the day, but we’ll also encourage you to explore independently and at your own pace. Spend time cuddling the goats or guinea pigs, meet our Farmers and learn about our animals or find a peaceful green spot to just sit and relax.
Our friendly team will let you know what’s on for the day when you arrive and our daily activities will always be posted on the board at the end of the boardwalk.
