Little kids (as well as the grownups!) love the chance to cuddle and feed their favorite animals! We offer young children the chance to finally meet the stars of their favorite books and TV shows, whilst teaching them about the animals and why we need them in our lives
Primary school children will love the opportunity to get up close and personal with all our friendly animals! The program fits in perfectly with the school curriculum, and can be a great teaching aid. Allowing the children to be interactive helps to develop their interest in animals, and this can be translated well to the classroom. Why not combine the Mini Pets with the Milking Demonstration or Bush Babies for the perfect educational experience? For programs on life cycles visit or Rabbit Rearing or Chicken Hatching Page. Our Mini Pets are perfect for science and agriculture classes, allowing students to meet in person the animals they have been learning about. Our engaging approach to learning will ensure that it is a class to remember! Our staff can teach the students about the unique features of all the animals and how they are utilized in our daily lives.
Why not invite all your friends to a farmyard party? Our farmers for the day can help your children with handling and feeding the animals, we can take the stress out of your child’s big day We offer 10 free activity packs with every Animals on the Move party we also offer party invitations and activity sheets, available for free in the ‘downloads’ section of our website. Our activity packs include an activity book, pencils, balloons and stickers. Extra packs can be purchased for $2 each, you can even purchase Farmyard themed party hats, paper plates, paper cups, party blowers and lollie bags (order over the phone). We offer the whole experience you can even play our “Pin the Tail on the Piggy” game!
The Mini Pets can offer a great experience for the elderly. Whether it’s reliving their childhood or doing something new, the farmyard is always a hit. Our animals can also be used as a form of pet therapy. Pet therapy can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. It can also increase self-esteem and improve social skills.
