We operate the best hands on farming experience in Victoria.

Animal Land was originally established on 15th October 1985.

Our Goals are to provide children a wonderful place to learn about farm animals. Animal land has been specifically set up to give children that real hands on farming experience.Children can only learn so much in the class room. Here they get to scratch, feel, smell and hear all the experiences of life on a farm.

From the moment you arrive you will be treated with that friendly country welcome . We started opening only in the last term of the year with a couple of kinders and schools. Now we have over 7500 visitors per annum. These include schools, kinders, playgoups, social groups, birthday parties, Christmas break ups and open days to the general public.
