Tick off an essential kiwi adventure as you experience typical rural farm life at the beautiful Bullswool Farm Park!
Bullswool Farm is a slice of Kiwi paradise and a must-do for those wanting to experience typical Kiwi rural farm life.
Perfectly positioned just minutes from the famous Karangahake Gorge walking tracks and set amongst wild and beautiful landscapes with stunning views, this unique working farm is the perfect way to disconnect in the peace and tranquility of nature.
You'll get to meet many rare-breed farm animals which include; miniature horses, emus, goats, alpacas, llamas, deer, paint horses, kune-kune pigs, miniature cattle, rabbits, rare breed chickens, ducks, pheasants, coloured sheep and donkeys. All the animals are friendly and well-cared for so you can get right up close and hand-feed them - even the biggest animals!
The kids will absolutely love the play area, with wooden play structures built by award-winning sculptor, Tony Howse. When you feel like exploring, there are many walkways to roam at your leisure offering amazing farmland and bush views, or you can check out the native bird reserve and the Gold & Kauri Museum.
To top it all off, why not bring lunch and enjoy it at one of the several picnic areas? There really is something for everyone!

We took the grandkids and had the best day out. Such a beautiful farm and so much for the kids to see and do. Loved the wooden excavator and hut. Just a magical place . Thank you so much.
Fun for the kids. Neat and tidy. Friendly staff
Amazing experience! The place is very nice and well maintained. The animals are kind and gentle. Definitely would recommend to our friends and family.
Second visit to this amazing place. The animals are so friendly and beautiful and so well looked after. We love and appreciate all the extra details that make this such a special place to connect with the animals - brushes for the ponies and interesting ways to feed them. We were lucky enough to see a gorgeous wee donkey foal too. Aside from the animals the play creations are unsuppased anywhere! Our 7 and 4 year old boys loved each and every part of it. The hunting hide, rocket and bike tracks were particular favourites. This is such a safe, clean and pleasant place to let the kids loose to imagine and create their own worlds and have the best kind of fun! We will be back again and again and again! Thank you Bullswool for what you do!

Family fun
I have brought international students to Bullswool Farm many, many times as it is a very unique experience for them to be able to see, touch and explore so many animals in one space. They love being able to get up close and feel the animals, and being able to feed them is an awesome bonus. Bullswool never fails to delight and most of my guests are in their late teens or early 20's. Combined with a walk through the Karangahake gorge rail tunne,l and also the Windows walk, it is a great day out. If you have extra time make a full day of it and ride the train as well.
