Families in Hobart looking for a proper day outdoors have some good options close by. The countryside around the city offers a mix of farm parks where kids can wander through paddocks, meet animals up close and enjoy fresh Tasmanian air away from screens. It’s an easy way to fill a day without a long drive.
Before you head off, check the farm’s own website for opening times and any seasonal closures. Pack wellies or old shoes, as paddocks can get muddy, and bring a jacket since Tasmanian weather can turn quickly.
Distances are measured in a straight line from Hobart city centre, so allow extra time by road.
