What age group best suits Milking on the Moove

Preschool, Kindergarten, Child Care & Primary School Education from Foundation to Year 2. But!
The information & interaction can be enjoyed by all ages.

Little kids (as well as the grownups!) love the chance to milk a cow! We offer young children the chance to finally hand milk a cow the old fashioned way!
Primary school children will love the opportunity to get up close and personal with our friendly cow! The program fits in perfectly with the school curriculum, and can be a great teaching aid. Allowing the children to be hands on helps to develop their interest in animals, and this can be translated well to the classroom. Why not combine the Milking On The Moove encounter with the Farmyard for the perfect educational experience? Our Milking On The Move experience is perfect for science and agriculture classes, allowing students to milk a cow and make butter. Our hands on approach to learning will ensure that it is a class to remember! Our staff can teach the students about the unique features of a cow and the role they play in our daily lives.
Why not invite all your friends to a Milking on the Moove demonstration?

We offer the whole experience you can even play our “Pin the Tail on the Piggy” game!

The Milking on the Move can be a fun experience for all ages, and is guaranteed to leave people talking about your event!

(Just remember that Choco drinks a bath tub full of water everyday and that has to go somewhere…. so inside is suggested against!!)

The Milking on the Move can offer a great experience for the elderly. Whether it’s reliving their childhood or doing something new, Choco is always a hit.

Please remember when you are planning your event we require:

1. Close access to set-up area (no more than 30m distance from our vehicle)
2. Clear access from our vehicle to set-up area (no obstacles, stairs, lifts, steep slopes, etc)
3. For safety reasons we appreciate assistance in keeping curious onlookers at a safe distance until set-up is complete.
4. Access to water for the animals.
