Families in Canberra looking for a day outdoors have some easy options just beyond the city. The surrounding region offers open countryside and rural properties that welcome visitors for a relaxed change of pace from the capital’s museums and galleries. It’s a simple way to get the kids outside, breathe some fresh air and enjoy the local landscape together.
Before you head off, check the farm’s own website or social media for current opening times, as these can change with the seasons. Wear sturdy shoes or wellies, as paths can be muddy, and pack a picnic in case there’s nowhere to buy food onsite. If you’re visiting during school holidays, booking ahead is a good idea.
Distances are measured in a straight line from Canberra city centre, so allow extra time by road.
