About

A third-generation family farm where entry is free and the whole family can feed animals, ride a miniature railroad, and play indoor crazy golf — all just five minutes from the M7 near Kildare Town.

Things to Do

Meet & Feed the Animals

The farm is home to a wide variety of friendly animals including meerkats, porcupines, giant tortoises, mara, wallabies, and free-range poultry. Buy specially formulated feed on site and use the 'hands-clear' troughs to safely interact with the animals — suitable even for very small children.

Meet & Feed the Animals

Railroad Adventure

All aboard for a chugging tour around the farm. The miniature train loops past all the animal paddocks and is suitable for children and adults alike.

Teddy Bear Factory

Kids can choose a soft cuddly friend from an ever-changing range and watch it come to life. Every bear comes with its own travel backpack and birth certificate to take home.

Explore the Open Farm

Stroll the fully accessible, buggy-friendly walking trail around the animal paddocks. Along the way you'll find an animal nursery, wetlands and duck pond, a heritage cottage, fairy land, a sensory playground, and a games room. Entry is free with a pre-booked ticket.
