“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 - Highly Recommended! We had an amazing time at Bullswool Heritage Farm today. It was such a great experience and totally worth the ticket price. This is a perfect place for both small kids and adults to visit - a real must-see! There are lots of lovely, friendly animals that you can touch and feed. We bought an animal food bucket for just $5 and it was definitely worth it. The farm is very tidy, peaceful, and relaxing, and you really feel welcome there. The two lovely ladies working there were incredibly friendly and kind, which made our visit even better. We will definitely visit again. The only small issue is that the last 2 km of the road is a bit uneven, so you just need to drive slowly and carefully. Overall, 10/10 experience! Highly recommended!”

Really cool playground for the kids to play on and so many interactive toys too! Staff are amazing and so helpful and you can tell the animals are taken care of and loved so much.”

“Absolutely fantastic place! We took a 3 and a half year old and a 5 month old and spent all afternoon there after only expecting a 2 hour stint to break up a long drive. Such a great place and wonderful welcoming people. Really recommend!”
