Tick off an essential kiwi adventure as you experience typical rural farm life at the beautiful Bullswool Farm Park!
Bullswool Farm is a slice of Kiwi paradise and a must-do for those wanting to experience typical Kiwi rural farm life.
Perfectly positioned just minutes from the famous Karangahake Gorge walking tracks and set amongst wild and beautiful landscapes with stunning views, this unique working farm is the perfect way to disconnect in the peace and tranquility of nature.
You'll get to meet many rare-breed farm animals which include; miniature horses, emus, goats, alpacas, llamas, deer, paint horses, kune-kune pigs, miniature cattle, rabbits, rare breed chickens, ducks, pheasants, coloured sheep and donkeys. All the animals are friendly and well-cared for so you can get right up close and hand-feed them - even the biggest animals!
The kids will absolutely love the play area, with wooden play structures built by award-winning sculptor, Tony Howse. When you feel like exploring, there are many walkways to roam at your leisure offering amazing farmland and bush views, or you can check out the native bird reserve and the Gold & Kauri Museum.
To top it all off, why not bring lunch and enjoy it at one of the several picnic areas? There really is something for everyone!

This is a wonderful place for families. I took my Grandchildren and we had the whole day feeding animals, playing in the playground. We had a picnic and went for the bush walk which they really enjoyed. I highly recommend. Gayle Stokes
Fun for the kids. Neat and tidy. Friendly staff
Amazing experience! The place is very nice and well maintained. The animals are kind and gentle. Definitely would recommend to our friends and family.
Second visit to this amazing place. The animals are so friendly and beautiful and so well looked after. We love and appreciate all the extra details that make this such a special place to connect with the animals - brushes for the ponies and interesting ways to feed them. We were lucky enough to see a gorgeous wee donkey foal too. Aside from the animals the play creations are unsuppased anywhere! Our 7 and 4 year old boys loved each and every part of it. The hunting hide, rocket and bike tracks were particular favourites. This is such a safe, clean and pleasant place to let the kids loose to imagine and create their own worlds and have the best kind of fun! We will be back again and again and again! Thank you Bullswool for what you do!

Had a lovely dayout.
What a lovely farm for the whole family, not just for primary aged children, but also for teenagers and adults. Not much animals in the farm to hold and pet, but it was still a great experience.
