Is there a minimum amount of children required...?

No, there is no minimum number however you will still be required to pay the set cost. If you are having difficulties getting numbers for your party, why not consider having a joint party with a friend.

Will the children be able to touch the animals...?

Yes. All children will be able to touch the animals. We feel a hands on approach helps children learn and gain valuable knowledge about our animals. All we ask is that children refrain from coming near the animals during set up and pack up times and follow instructions from our staff.  We do retain the right to refuse any child touching or interacting with any animal if we feel the child’s conduct is harmful to the animal.

What age does Aussie Farm 4 Kids suit...?

Aussie Farm 4 Kids suits people of all ages. We tailor our presentations to specifically suit the age range and needs of our guests in mind. For example at birthday parties we structure the games to suit the age range of the children, and at a retirement village we set up so that we can pass the animals around and spend time chatting with the residents.

How long does the party go for...?

Our standard birthday party, preschool or school presentation runs for 1.5 hours.  Corporate Events often run for 4 hours.  At the time of your enquiry, please advise us of the length of time you would like, estimated number attending, and suburb where the presentation will be held.  We will then promptly provide you with a package to suit your specific needs. 

We believe Aussie Farm 4 Kids packages are great value for money as we provide ample professional and friendly staffing, and depending on the event we offer a minimum of 2 of the following:- hands on time with the animals, dog tricks, party games, dog safety education and farm animal education.

Yes we are.

Why do I have to pay via cash/bank cheque or direct deposit...?

You will find that Aussie Farm 4 Kids is very competitively priced. Part of the reason for this is that we try to keep costs down to make it more affordable for our customers. Having credit card and eftpos facilities is time consuming and adds to our costs which will mean a higher price for you. Our main goal on the party day is to ensure that the animals are happy and so are your children. Cash, bank cheque and direct deposit are simple transaction methods and you will receive a valid receipt for all monies paid.

Does Aussie Farm 4 Kids cater for children with special needs or disabilities...?

Yes, we do.  We find it very rewarding to see how much joy and excitement people gain from our lovely animals. Please do not hesitate to speak with us to discuss any particular needs you have

What do you do at Retirement Villages/Nursing Homes...?

We have a lovely time chatting with the residents whilst we pass the animals around.  We enjoy hearing the residents reminisce about their past experiences and our Labrador "Aussie" loves to entertain with some of his "tricks".
