Farm Parks in Northern Territory: Petting Farms and Family Days Out

27 Sep 2026 1 min read No comments Guides

Northern Territory has a good spread of farm parks and petting zoos, perfect for a relaxed family day outdoors. Whether you’re near Darwin or exploring further out, you’ll find places where kids can meet animals up close and wander around rural surroundings. These outings suit all ages and give everyone a break from the screen for a while.

Check each farm’s own website before you head off, as opening times and conditions can change with the seasons. Pack water, sun protection and comfortable shoes, since much of the visit happens outdoors. If you’re travelling during school holidays, it’s worth booking ahead to avoid disappointment.
