Collingwood Childrens Farm - Abbotsford (VIC)

5 /5 Rhiannon Malone: This place is a wonderful hands on country vibe sanctuary in the inner city area. There are so many animals roaming around for kids to observe and pat. The goats, chickens, guinea pigs, pigs and sheep were very popular with my daughter. The expansive vege garden is brilliant. I loved this place so much after my first visit that I bought an annual membership. An excellent activity for families or people trying to entertain little kids whilst also teaching them about the environment, animals and sustainability.

3 /5 Sanjeev Kumar: Not enough parking , crowded. No proper guidelines are provided , yet it’s a beautiful place to visit with kids . They have timings for animals to pet, better to leave early and if possible use public transport or find a secure parking on streets

3 /5 sventek: We visited the farm after having breakfast at the convent next door, arrived around 12pm and the only activity seemed to be meeting the sheeps at 12:30. If visiting with kids especially, probably recommend arriving close to opening hours as they have several activities between 10 and 11:30 but after that its minimal activities spread really far apart in terms of time, and because its only a small farm with just a few animals, youre not motivated to wait around for it, especially on a hot summer day. Toddler area is actually quite nice, sheltered from the sun and rain, and we were very thankful for the powerful fan that helped with the heat. I think if we had arrived earlier it would have felt more worth it but it was basically an ok experience for us. Only paid parking available, at the convent parking next door (supports both the convent and the farm). Price guide (as of Jan 2025): Adult $17 Child (2-12 yo) $8 Student concessions $14 Parking: weekends first 90 mins $7.50 (a dollar less on weekdays), +$2 per hour after.

3 /5 Sandi Grace: This is a city farm and is just a taste of a farm for city folks. Perfect for a relaxed cuppa under a shady tree on a sunny day. Perfect for kids 4 and under who live nearby. It’s not very big and there are limited animals. More suited to local families. The staff were lovely!

5 /5 Sam: We visited on a weekday and found a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. The farms café served delightful coffee, and the experience was made even more charming by the friendly animals - we enjoyed petting the chickens and goats. Its an accessible spot, with paths suitable for pram, making it perfect for a leisurely few hours. A lovely escape for families looking for a quiet day out."​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
