1 / 3Living Springs Farm Parks
📍 Allandale, Canterbury
Living Springs sits in the Port Hills above Christchurch with mountain bike trails, farm animals, school camps, and children's programmes. Native bush and open pasture run side by side on the property.
Came here for the mtb track. Epic. So much downhill bang for your uphill buck.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
The mountain bike trails alone are worth the trip up the hill, and the mix of animals and structured kids' programmes means younger children have just as much to do.

“I quite enjoyed this place because it has really cool animals, kids would love it as well. We were control collecting here but found a friendly bull and said hello as well as a deer and goat!!!!! Cara got a cheeky wee kiss and we fed it some grass which it seemed to enjoy:) Also Maria took a cool wee photo which is nice. Would recommend to a friend. Byeya”

Overview
Set in the Port Hills above Allandale, Living Springs combines mountain bike trails with farm animals — deer, goats, and cattle — and a calendar of kids' programmes and camps. The MTB trails reward riders with significant downhill runs. Children's programmes run regularly on site alongside school and corporate group retreats. The natural bush setting provides a strong contrast to the city below. Food is available on site for groups. Pram access is available across parts of the property.
