The Gold Coast hinterland and surrounding countryside offer a handful of farm parks perfect for a relaxed family outing. These spots give kids space to roam, see rural life up close, and enjoy fresh country air away from the beach crowds. Whether you’re after a morning activity or a full day trip, the region’s farm parks make a refreshing change of pace.
Before you head off, check the farm’s own website for opening times and what’s on, as details can change with the seasons. Pack comfortable shoes suited to muddy or uneven ground, and consider booking ahead during school holidays when spots can fill quickly.
Distances are measured in a straight line from Gold Coast city centre, so allow extra time by road.
