Animal Farm Open Day
828 Ipswich-Rosewood Rd, Rosewood, Amberley

Sunday, 9 December 2012 10am-4pm
Entry: $10

Bring the kids to a real working farm where they can run around and just be kids. Pat a pig, bottle feed a lamb, hand feed a cow and collect eggs from under a hen. You might even see a chicken hatch. The kids can play on our hay bale slide, tyre swing and huge 14 foot trampoline. Maybe sitting on the tractor is more their style, ride a pony or even just sit quietly under a tree and see shapes in the clouds. The open day is run in two sessions 10-12 and 2-4 pm to give the animals a break and chance to catch a quick nap before meeting new friends.
