Kiwi Valley is a great place for people of any age to visit, me and my family loved our experience here. My daughter is 4 and enjoyed feeding the chickens,goats,sheep and llamas. As shown in the photos, the feed containers are very generous for only $1 each. The fact that it's not an additional cost for pony rides for the kids, the tractor ride & the petting zoo where you are given a mat for your lap and friendly staff ask you what little animal you'd like is fantastic, they have rabbits,guinea pigs & rats that are all great for kids to have sit on them and pet 🐇 🐀 I would absolutely recommend Kiwi Valley to anyone for a great time at a reasonable price point.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for toddlers and primary-school children who want direct animal contact rather than observation. The pony rides and lap-animal area are the standout experiences — children who have only visited glass-barrier zoos react strongly to an animal sitting on their lap or feeding from their hand.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Bring extra $1 coins for the feed containers — they are generously filled and children will want multiple rounds
Ask staff at the petting area which animal is available for lap time — rabbits, guinea pigs, and rats rotate
🎟️The tractor trailer tour and pony rides are included in entry — no need to budget separately for these
🚗Book birthday parties in advance — the venue fills on weekend mornings during school terms

Kiwi Valley Farm is such a fantastic place for kids! We had a great time exploring and meeting all the animals - from llamas, horses and ponies to bunnies, guinea pigs, hens, turtles, pigs, sheep/lambs, goats and even a rat. The tractor trailer ride was a highlight and super fun for all age groups. The whole farm is well set up, interactive, and perfect for families looking for an engaging day out. Staff were friendly and the animals were well cared for. Highly recommend for a fun and memorable experience with kids!

Kiwi Valley Farm Park is an absolute treasure! This visit felt almost therapeutic, a perfect, calming escape from the city. The absolute highlights were meeting the residents! We totally fell in love with Lambo, the adorable baby sheep, and spent ages cuddling Udon the rabbit. If you need some wholesome fun and animal therapy, this is the place. Highly recommend!
