Farm Parks in New South Wales: Petting Farms and Family Days Out

27 Sep 2026 6 min read No comments Guides

New South Wales has plenty of options for a family day out on a farm. From the coast to the tablelands and out toward the inland plains, you’ll find working properties and open farm parks that welcome visitors for a look at rural life, some open-air exploring and a change of pace from the city.

Before you head off, check the farm’s own website for current opening times and any booking requirements, especially during school holidays. Wear sturdy shoes, bring a hat and sunscreen, and pack layers since weather on rural properties can shift quickly.

This guide features a selection of farms from across New South Wales. See all 175 farm parks in New South Wales on the map.
