A hands-on farm park on Henderson Valley Road, set up in 2001 so that city families can meet farm animals close up. General admission covers the activities and a feed container per person. Visitors can hold and cuddle small animals in the nursery shed, walk a maze that is over a kilometre long, find the hidden caves, take horse and pony rides with a daily weight limit, and ride the tractor up to the top paddocks for views of the Sky Tower and Rangitoto. The farm walk takes in goats, chickens, ducks, donkeys, sheep and alpacas. There is a playground, sandpits and a licensed cafe on site, and annual passes are sold. The farm is also a venue for functions. It may close early in poor weather, so the website asks visitors to call ahead or check its Facebook, Instagram or home page. The owners, Ben and Crystal, bought the farm in 2013.
