Great place to take the kids - really low key which is perfect for our children. There's also a good playground and tractor heaven for kids into that.
Our experience here was okay. The cost was fairly high for what you get. We spent 71.00 for 4 people, 2 bags of food and 4 tickets for the electric digger and small electric tractors. All extra activities cost money and so do the bags of food. The electric diggers were neat but a waste of money as you only get 3 minutes to use it. By the time my kids got the hang of it, the turn was over. The electric tractors were a lot more fun.
The website boasts holding baby chickens, cuddling Guinea pigs and rabbits, and feeding baby lambs, but we didn't come across any of these activities. There were big signs in the Guinea pigs and rabbits that said 'do not pick us up'. Maybe there were time slots for these activities, but they certainly weren't advertised if so? Another mention on the website is holding a lizard and python, but during the reptile show, we were only allowed to pat the python very briefly.
The website also says they have camels, but they do not.
One of the free roaming goats bit 3 people in a row, including a small ~7 year old girl, which was fairly worrisome.
We were here for 2.5 hours with a 2.5 and 5 year old, and we felt there wasn't much more to do after that amount of time. By around 1230, some of the animals (like the kangaroos) were starting to run away from people.
Overall, it's a unique experience but fairly pricey.

Amazing experience. We came with a group of kids and parents, for my daughter’s birthday. We had a special area set up for the party, with tables and catered food. Our group did the cow milking show, interacting with and cuddling the baby-barn animals, feeding the larger animals outdoors and pony rides for the kids. We came back to our party space to finish the afternoon with birthday cake and singing happy birthday. The staff were excellent, very friendly and attentive. Loved the paper tablecloths which kids could draw on and the outdoor heater was a great touch on a cold day. Thank you Hahndorf Farm Barn! We will come back for a family visit.🐥🐏🐴🎂🥳
What a lovely day out! Our 3 year old son loved it! As did I! So many animals to see, pat and feed and the bottle feeding was adorable. The animals all look well looked-after and happy. Great bouncy castle and train ride too. The food at the Cafe was also really good.
Loved this! Went with my 7year olds school and was impressed with how hands on everything was! The tiny lambs won me over too!
Lovely place, great experience. It's clean and the animals are so people friendly and cute! Definitely worth a visit!
My 6 year old daughter loved the interaction with the small animals - guinea pigs and rabbits. There was a tractor ride and carousel ride, which was fun for kids. Overall a good experience for an animal farm!
So much fun!
Will be nice to go here for dates, bring children, with family etc. So relaxing to see the farm.
The staffs also friendly and helpful. I wish they sell the fresh milk and eggs!

Kids loved the train ride, feeding the animals, the cuddling and the fun playground. A great place for kids.
We decided to visit for our 18 month old daughter & it was perfect for her!
I loved that most of the farm has concrete paths so its accessible for strollers & wheelchairs. Amazing playground & also loved that they had lots of Little Tikes cars for the kiddies to ride around the farm in if they wanted. We chose not to wait for the tractor ride as there were alot of people but thats something we'll do next time.
Itd be great if there were more pigs, horses & cows (we didnt see any!) as its mostly sheep/goat varieties but as mentioned, for young kids its great.
Will be happy to return again in a year or so 😊

It is one of the best animal farmi have visited in Brisbane. Everyone is very kind at this farm. They all want you get in touch with all the animals and joining the attractions.
There are plenty of farm animals available such as goats, sheeps, lama, alpaca, donkey, horse, chickens and so on.
You can feed them very close and touch and pad them kindly. They are all friendly.
There are also wash basins after feeding animals. Also, toilet facility available in spot.
Tractor ride and Quick train ride is also good fun with kids.
Thank you for the kind hospitality. Have a good one 👍🏻

Fantastic spot for kids to interact with and feed various animals. Plus, there's a jumping castle and mini tractor rides for added fun!
We had fun there. Cute bunnies, guinnea pigs, alpaccas, goats, sheeps, birds, kangaroos, deers, pigs, even cows! One horse named Oscar is so cute, gentle, and affectionate. Have cuddling area but the a lot of guinea pigs are jumpy, so we left them alone. Good place to bring your family and couple. Just wish the cafe had more variety of foods, we were starving but we can only eat cakes and the muffins is not warmed. But good chai chiller. Might come back next time.
Spent 2hrs here visiting everything and doing 2 electric rides (far from a day out as they say).
If travelling over an hour, make sure you have made other plans for the day nearby.

This is better than 5 stars. Our toddler bottle fed goats, piglets, went on a little train, loved jumping castle and ice cream to finish it all of. One of the best places to visit in perth for a toddler and very much worth the drive.
There wasn't a lot of options for lunch so maybe bring something to eat if you are staying longer than the morning.

Visited last week for the first time, it's a great setup and animals are well cared for.
Barn time was fantastic, great opportunity for little kids to get up close and interact with the smaller animals.
All the staff were friendly but I want to acknowledge Chloe in particular who was at the Barn time session we attended and ran the animal feeding session and cart rides afterwards.
Great customer service Chloe! Thanks for making visiting Landsdale Farm extra fun and special. We will be back!

We stayed at their Airbnb and what an experience. Seeing the sunset overlooking the mountains and beautiful scenery. The farm was another experience. It was so good to connect with animals and the view was also amazing. Close to Hahndorf village and town.
Went for the Saturday Easter festivities.
All the farm animals, sausage sizzle, bouncy castle, crazy golf, face painting and a tractor ride! So much fun and a very tired out little lady.
Fantastic day out and can clearly see the improvements the farm has undergone over the last months.
Look forward to our next visit.

Nice produce, good price and friendly staff.
I took my friend's four year old. She had a great time. We fed animals (animal food is $3 at the entry) ,went on the tractor train and played in the playground. I would recommend to people with young children.
Absolutely beautiful experience with so much to see and do during the trip. We waited in no line to enter and but we did purchase in advance online (but would have been no wait to buy there). I would recommend 2x buckets of food because there are so many animals to feed! All the farmers were wonderful and we had a great time feeding, patting and going on the tractor. Farmer Bailey (sorry if spelt wrong) was our tractor driver and she was so engaging and fun. Very family friendly and paths are wide enough for all to move around comfortably. It was raining slightly but that only made the day nicer! Plenty of food and gift options at the shop with even some GF options which was great to see!
Absolutely loved this farm. Came with my 1 year old and not sure who had more fun. Feeding the animals was a blast and they were all so gentle. My daughter got to brush a goat and thought it was the best thing ever. Everyone we encountered was lovely and super helpful and I can't wait to come back and buy a yearly pass. Would highly recommend!!!
We had our daughter’s birthday here and the team was amazing! Everything was run very smoothly and the kids loved the food. They gave us a great little party welcome pack with all the info we needed and a little gift, which was super sweet! The animals were friendly and there’s a great playground on site too. Staff were insanely helpful and friendly.
This is an excellent place to bring your family or partner to for a fun-filled activity, theres lots to see and do and it is a very good value activity. All the animals are super friendly and dont shy away from attention, this makes it great for children to interact with animals they otherwise might not get to meet and is also a great therapy as its extremely relaxingand enjoyable. Parking on a weekend can be tricky but its well worth the visit!
Very fresh n delicious strawberry at Mount baker 🍓🍓🍓 old guys very nice
Sydneysider who dropped in to visit the place while I was in Perth for a few days. Lovely place to be. Animals looked well cared for and peaceful.
The entry fee and cafe are reasonably priced, there's activities to participate in like animal feeding and while I went by myself, a lot of families were around who seemed to be enjoying their time.

We booked purely because our 2yr old is utterly obsessed with rabbits and they were listed as one of the attractions 🐇
We had a great day out feeding all the animals and went on the tractor ride several times because the girls loved it so much. Brushing the angora rabbit was definitely our little one's highlight but our 4 yr old couldn't decide which part she loved the most.
All the animals looked very well cared for and very happy and there were people-free areas they could move into if they needed a break. Most of them were up for a gentle pat or scratch as well as a handful of food.
The donkey is incredibly loud!
Highly recommended, and we'll be back!

Great strawberries, very juicy, fresh and fragrant! Good price too!
Fantastic birthday outing with my 9 year old animal-loving granddaughter. We spent 5 full hours enjoying all aspects of this beautifully established farm-experience site. Healthy and happy animals cared for in excellent conditions and all the amenities were constantly kept clean and tidy, from picnic areas to play grounds to toilets. Highly recommend.
Such a good day out! We spent the whole morning here petting and feeding the baby animals. My 3 year old was in love. The milking and the kids rides and playground were also a big hit.
Great place for kids, super easy and not over the top. Great price. Staff are lovely. My kids loved the farm animals and feeding them and patting the chickens. Loved the tractor and train ride. It was a great day out. Definitely go again
A nice, spacious farm with friendly staff and friendly animals. Good entry price, a program upon entry that you can follow too which includes the 10am-11am ‘Barn Time’. This was a great session where we got to sit and the farmer gave us friendly ginnea pigs and chickens to hold. The 11am-12pm session was ‘Animal Enrichment’ where we were offered to walk the calves! I loved that this place was not packed like other places and you could take your time to see everything.
They also have a cafe, a huge seated picnic area, two playgrounds, a kids book borrowing area, a tracktor cart ride, chickens, pigs, goats, sheep, donkey, calves, rabbits, ginnea pigs, cockatoos and many more.
Thanks!

We recently visited White Ridge Farm, and it was an absolutely delightful experience for the whole family. Here's what made our visit so special:
1. **Exceptional Staff**: Led by the ever-smiling Farmer David, the staff were incredibly friendly and engaging. They went out of their way to ensure our kids had a fantastic time, especially during the animal feeding sessions. It's not every day you see a team so dedicated to their visitors' enjoyment.
2. **Kid-Friendly Adventures**: Our kids were thrilled with the wide variety of animals they got to feed. The farm has done a remarkable job in creating an environment where children can safely interact with and learn about different animals.
3. **Fun Rides**: The tractor and small train rides were a hit, particularly with the younger children. These rides provided a gentle thrill and a great way to see the farm.
4. **Engaging Activities for All Ages**: The mini-golf course was a pleasant surprise, offering a fun challenge for older kids and adults. It's a great way to take a break from the animals and enjoy some light-hearted competition.
5. **Warm and Welcoming Atmosphere**: The overall vibe of this family-run business is incredibly welcoming. We spent a fantastic 3 hours here, feeling more like guests than customers.
6. **A Perfect City Escape**: For those living in the city, White Ridge Farm is the perfect escape. It offers a wonderful opportunity for city kids to connect with nature and experience farm life.
White Ridge Farm is a gem of a place, offering fun, education, and relaxation in equal measure. It's a must-visit for families looking to create lasting memories. Thank you, Farmer David and team, for such a memorable day!

Very much for kids, best to go on a weekday. Feeding the animals was fun and it was a laugh seeing the goats interact with everyone (at times like dogs, highly affectionate). With the interior pens with the smaller animals, we found the guinea pigs & bunnies seemed quite timid and I was reluctant to pick any up. I loved the artwork on the wall with the life cycle of a chicken egg - Very educational for the nerds! The llamas gave a few kids a fright and I was surprised to see people taking little babies with prams into those pens and getting terrorised, we actually had to step in and help them. I think more supervision from staff is needed to support people in each section, or at least some signage to stop people being silly. Good little gift shop with a decent range for kids.
Landsdale Farm has become one of our favourite locations for our weekly catch ups with our friends! Affordable entry price, and so many things to see and do - even with the little kids! It’s amazing to see the animals are all so cared for! We were even lucky enough to see some of the new baby Guinea Pigs!
A great place to bring a picnic, grab a spot in one of the tables, or bring a mat for some of the beautiful grassed areas, and enjoy a day on the farm!

Wonderful juicy strawberries and great price at $2.50 a big punnet.
Riding for children on ponies. Kids loved it. Can get great coffee as well now.
Breakfast was awsome.

Day visit with family. Children's ages ranged from 6 to 19. Everyone had a wonderful day thanks to Janelle and her husband. The tour provided us with information on all of the animals at the park, and most importantly, which ones were huggable. Although, the miniature baby goats were adorable, seeing my highly anxious daughter curled up on the ground snuggling with a cow was my highlight. Definitely worth the interesting dirt road drive to get there, and the small entry fee. We will be back.
We loved our yesterday visit with family and friends, we really had a very good time spend with all your farm animals, specifically the little 🐐. We will keep visiting you guyz. What are you doing is really amazing and hard job to do.
Went and bought some jam strawberries and got a bargain! Very generous. Thank you! The strawberries were delicious! The man in packing shed was very friendly. Super service. When I see Mt Barker strawberries in the supermarket I always buy them. Fresh fragrant and tastes like strawberries!
Four Oaks has to be one of the nicest country venues in Adelaide Hills. Massive thanks to our wonderful and accomodating hosts Sue and Doug who allowed our Four Oaks country Music festival to take over the set for the day - everybody had a magical time including friends, families and children. The mix of great music, food, kids pony rides, fire truck rides within the beautiful manicured farm setting made for a perfect day out - we look forward to doing it all again soonest.
i had an amazing time with Sue, i went on a 1hr trail ride, the horse was amazing and Sue was super helpful in helping me improve and get more confident as i hadn’t been on a horse for a few years
Just purchased 4 punnets from Woolworths. They are the most fragrant and delicious strawberries I've had in a long time. They taste like the strawberries from my childhood.
Edit: I went to the farm to buy directly, not really worth the drive. They only have the same strawberries you can get at the supermarket and you don't get to choose so the guy ended up picking punnets with whiter ones and different shapes. Cost $3 a punnet direct from the farm, but you can get them cheaper at the local supermarket. Also the parking for Greeks only is just a joke sign.

They only take cash to avoid tax or something, the old guy is extremely rude and the parking is only for Greeks which is racist.
The strawberries are ok.

A quick getaway from Adelaide, great outdoor venue for any events literally. We went for 10th birthday. There are lots of activities that kids and even adults would enjoy - horseriding, pony riding, fire engine ride on a mini van. There are birds, pony, horses, ducks in the farm. A ground for football or cricket, barbecue hut, hall for indoor events, toilet facility. Good parking space as well. It's a nice place. Highly recommended.
Good selection of animals and plenty of hands-on fun for the kids.
Animals are all kept in clean circumstances and are all very friendly. The farm itself is a bit run down though and could do with a serious facelift to make it a bit more of an enjoyable experience. Just a few minor organisational tweaks and a bit of streamlining could make it more relaxing for the owners and the visitors

Hi! I would like to let you know that my family and I absolutely love your strawberries!
One of the main reasons is that they actually taste like strawberries and are nice and juicy and a perfect size! Keep producing the best because we love your work! 🍓
Tracie
P.S please don't spray the fruit to make them shiny we love your strawberries the way they are!

Not open 7 days
A really great venue for families and for groups. the people are really friendly and we had a great day with my 2-year-old nephew. the owners couldn't be more friendly and more accommodating. There are heaps of baby animals here and it's worth bringing a picnic lunch as there is a table to sit and eat. My nephew loved the ride on mower of course, but also fascinated by all the baby animals and fed the kids(baby goats-not humans lol)
Nice place to visit.. Kids gonna love miniature horses and goats! Old school bus available those who want to camp !
Beautiful place. Set up under some trees with the family. The predicted hot weather kept many stall holders away. In the end apart fro a little thunder and spring rain the day turned out great. There were still some stall holders from whomwe bought some nice cheeses and jam.
For the kids there were pony rides, feeding the animals and a ride in a fir truck.
All up a great afternoon in a nice part of SA

Lovely place and nice scenery, lots of animals to see and pet.
Friendly staff who carefully matched me to a quiet horse. I really enjoyed the trail ride and it took me back to my childhood. The ponies were cute and watching the kids having a ball on the fire engine was great.
Didn't find the owner friendly over the phone I think she's actually over it. Told me she's been in the business for over 30 years and tried to give me advice on how I should run my daughter's birthday. I cancelled via email after she demanded I deposit money into her account to secure the booking. That wasn't enough, she called and left a message giving advice on how I should run the birthday and hoping it fails. Charming. Don't want that attitude around my daughter's friends. Called another pony company owned by a young girl in McLaren Vale who was friendly, enthusiastic and went above and beyond to make my daughter's birthday memorable. I just found them a little unprofessional for my liking. Looks like they have good reviews, maybe I caught her on a bad day. So giving the benefit of the doubt.
I booked a party for my daughter. I needed to cancel. I gave two weeks notice of cancellation.
They refused to give my money back. There was only a mention of 24hrs notice of cancellation on their website. I had to pursue them legally to get it back. This is not ok.
They claimed they had spoken to consumer affairs, this was not true.
I am glad I did not have the party there, not good vibes.
I can leave a review because a consumer's experience should be good through the whole process. I would have liked to try to go there at a later date, but now I can firmly say I will not go or recommend this place to anyone.
