Half Day Animal Tour

An amazing experience for the kids. Super friendly tour guys and the kids learnt so much. Really unique and lovely experience

Absolutely brilliant day. We visited for my daughters birthday and she was involved in preparing animal feed, walking animals, moving animals to different areas of the farm, feeding them and horse riding. Bryce was our tour guide for the 3 hour private tour and allowed us to do as much or as little as we liked. We loved all the goats, sheep, alpacas, donkeys, horses, rabbits, chicks, guinea pigs and of course Freckles the pig. Bryce is a lovely, personable, mature, responsible and friendly young man. He was very knowledgeable and very patient with the oodles of questions my daughter had and waiting for my 80yo Mum to keep up with us walking all over the farm. We chatted the entire time and nothing was too much trouble for him. Such a wonderful young man of only 18yo and Trevena are lucky to have him. All the staff were extremely friendly and the views over Mt Glorious are stunning. The suggestion to stop at Lake Samsonvale on the way home to watch the sunset was the perfect way to end the day. Highly recommend a visit to Trevena if you love animals. 10/10 from us!

We took our two kindy classes on an excursion to Trevena Glen farm for the day, and it was just the best experience from beginning to end. What a beautiful farm in an idyllic location! The facilities were well set up to accomodate our group (35 kids and about as many adults because of our keen parent helpers), including a fenced eating area and plenty of taps to wash little hands. We had animal experiences which included feeding and/or patting some goats, an alpaca, sheep, rabbits, chickens, pigs and guinea pigs, and brushing the mane and body of a gorgeous little horse. The animals were obviously well cared for, and for many children this was their first (but very memorable) experience up close with these gorgeous, calm creatures. The three farmers who took our three groups around did a fabulous and age-appropriate job of drawing the children’s attention to the ways animals were getting what they needed in the way of food and water and care, and the different shelters and enclosures each animal had which gave them space to roam and play and enjoy the sun and pasture. You’ve never seen a group of four year olds so engaged and calm and happy. It was a perfect experience, ran like clockwork, the staff were so warm and friendly, and the views of the surrounding hills and mountains was breathtaking. As a teacher I’ve been on lots of excursions in my time but this was by far the most memorable, and the children have been sharing so many wonderful learnings and experiences from the day with enthusiasm- and it’s inspired lots of extensions of this learning in their play back at kindy since. Thanks Jeanine and the rest of the team for such a great day out! Oh I can’t believe I almost forgot to include the tractor ride- which was a big hit with kids and adults too!
