Chesterfield Farm

This place is so much fun, not just for kids but for adults to. My favourite was where you could pat the animals and the kids loved climbing on the hay.

Great farm for all kids especially kinder garden aged children. They have a wide range of activities for children and its fairly cheap. Have been here plenty of times with the local kinder.

Many animals to see and little kids adore feeding them and looking at them. Admission price is great and have been there many times and everyone enjoys the experience.

I have been here many times and kids love it there is no better place to interact with the animals and there are emus! This is a very popular attraction and would recommended it as a holiday activity!

Such an amusing place for the little ones, to get them into an animal spirit. It shows how to care for various canines and can teach them alot about farms. I recommend to anyone in that local area or anywhere in melbourne

I visited Chesterfield Farm with my 5 year old over the Christmas break. She had already been earlier in the year with her class so wanted to show me around. To be honest it was a hot day and I wasn't that keen. Happy to say however we had so much fun!

We watched the working dog show, saw a sheep being shorn, took a tractor ride around the farm, visited the market garden, patted as many animals as we could, collected feathers of every size and shape and of course wandered around the animal enclosures.

There were lots of shaded tables also so could easily have taken a picnic of our own but we made do with an ice cream from the Cafe.

A really nice day out!

I was amazed at how much my daughter recalled about her school visit also so from that perspective it was obviously a great learning experience for small children.

I visited Chesterfield Farm with my family a few months ago, and I was pleasantly surprised with my experience. I had heard it was a "real working farm" however I doubted its authenticity, given it's suburban location.
However, any expectations I had were definitely surpassed, and I genuinely enjoyed my day.

It was exciting for all members of the family - even the teenagers - to experience milking a cow, petting the rabbits and guinea pigs, a tractor ride tour, and helping to feed the animals.

Entry costs were reasonable, and staff were friendly and informative. There was learning all round, even some new fun facts for the adults in the group.

I would definitely recommend this for families with a wide range of ages, from pre-schoolers up, and for anyone looking for a fun and unique day out.

A fully working farm in the suburbs is a great place to take the kids without having to travel far. The staff are friendly and the kids just love it. The kids can handle some of the animals and the shows are in an enclosed area so it's weather-safe.

I take the kids here 1-2 times every year. It's simple & the kids love it. Nice little hobby farm. The show are great for the kids. It took my daughter 3 visits to finally want to milk the cow, but then I couldn't stop her. Great life experiences for them in the fresh outdoors. I believe they had new owners move in earlier in the year, but I don't believe it has faulted.

This is a great small farm on Ferntree Gully Road. Great for young children. Spend time just learning about all sorts of common farm animals and patting and feeding them. Milk a cow maybe or just pat a rabbit or guinea pig, Not to entertaining for the older ones. But great for the little kids. Staff here are fantastic with Children.

Small farm on ferntree gully road. Great family day out, we loved the farm show and walking round seeing all the animals. best for younger children under 10.

Chesterfield farm has always been a family favorite. Great environment and nice to be able to explore the facilities freely. The petting nursery is a big hit with out family! Over all a great time with the family! Love the free BBQ's and undercover areas for lunch!

i went to chestefiled farm for my sons birthday and thay had great staff and my son loved the sheep dog and the pigs and piglets it was a great day out for the hole family.

Friendly staff, not to good petting zoo, farm show with cows. Very muddy but my children aged 3 and 6 loved it. I think you can have birthday partys for kids here to. Located in scoresby.

A great place to take the family for a fun day out. Lots of animals to see, pat and feed. Make sure you wear boots and a jacket in winter as it can be quite muddy and windy.

Farm on Ferntree -gully road scoresby. A fun day out for younger children. There is many different animals. If your nearby check it out, but there are other childrens farms that are better. Daily farm shows.

Small farm in scoresby. Younger children love this place. There is also a show that runs a couple of times a day. You can take your own picnic lunch. If you go in winter, make sure you take your gumboots. Worth a visit. I have been 3 times to take my son.

Smaller type of farm. Very muddy, and interesting.
You can take your own food so it's great for a day out with kids.
The animals are nice, very cute, definitely a place I'd go again!

We went here for my daughters birthday, and she loved it! Because we live in the city, we don't see many animals and dirt, so this was a good opportunity!

i have been to a clothing swap held here. entry was $2 and you could swap as many pieces of clothing as you like. it was a great way to get new stuff and to clear out my cupboard.
such a nice farm setting also.

A friend and I took our kids (2 babies and 2 older children) here recently. I love that you can take your own food, we packed a picnic lunch and ate on the grass, we weren't pressured into buying food from a cafe etc. The animals were gorgeous and gentle, we had a lot of fun feeding them and interacting with them. The animal nursery was great, we loved petting the baby animals and looking at the newly hatched chickens. The peacocks and roosters that roam the grounds are gorgeous, and it was nice to be left alone to explore instead of having to go on a guided tour. Would definitely come here again, was a great day out.

Chesterfield farm is a terrific place to take the kids to and unlike Myuna Farm, the kids can interact with the animals like miling cows. It gets a bit dirty though here and makes it feel like a real farm.

This is a great place to take children for a little taste of the farm life. You get to milk the cows and the kids absolutely loved this. It is a nice change for the kids to get grubby and to get back to nature.

About 3 years ago I took my children to this farm after here lots of great things about it.

We had a buy one get one free voucher so this helped to pay for the day.

My children had fun looking around the farm at the various animals and they also got to milk a cow (which was fun).

A good day out.

Make sure to wear gum boots when it has been raining as it gets very slushy there also bring some hand sanitizer so your kids don't get any bugs after handling the animals.

Great place to take children. The animal nursery was great, for our young children, who loved getting in and patting the baby animals. The staff were also very friendly.

We had the best morning there. The kid loved it & so did we. Would highly recommend to anyone. Well kept & well run. The show was fantastic & the kids loved being able to milk a cow. Very reasonable entry price too.

Approximate cost: $35.00

A great place for a fun day out. A little bit more expensive than myuna farm but still very affordable (and better than a playcentre!) My daughter actually got to milk a cow when she was only 2 years old. She loved it. I wish I video taped it! Will be going back there to do that again. Lots of animals and fun to be had.

I took my toddler here several times, he loves it. The staff are very friendly my toddler got to milk a cow, did the tractor ride which was great fun. You can buy free range farm eggs from here too, which we did and they were very delicous. We feed the animals, held the baby goats. Plenty of room for a BBQ or take a picnic. Cafe there is okay very breezy if you sit down.

Been here many a time, it's not too costly, the kids love it and the staff love animals. It's not the most glamorous of places, but then a farm shouldn't have to be! Kids can touch some of the animals in the nursery, the tractor ride is fun!

we took our 7 year old daughter and 5 and 1 year old sons to chesterfield farm.

There was plenty for them to see and do. They were able to hold and pat baby lambs a baby goat and a baby cow. They could hand feed goats, cows, chickens, alpacas, deers and kangaroos. There was a farm show which taught the kids how to milk a cow and they got to have a try and doing so.

There were lots of picnic areas some covered some not and also a sandpit for the kids to play in. We bought bags of feed for $1.00 each and the kids also had a tractor ride which costs $2.00 per person

A great and inexpensive day out which is hard to find these days

Approximate cost: $30.00
