$7 for an Entry to Bullswool Farm Park, Bike Track & Kauri Museum

When the boundaries of the backyard just aren't big enough these school holidays, take the kids for an adventure to Bullswool Farm Park! The Southern Coromandel's favourite family spot just keeps bringing the fun with a fresh play area added to its array of experiences. The area was designed and created by an award-winning sculptor. It includes a Fun Cart Track, Hunter's Hut, Digger & Truck (with bits that honk, lift, open and turn!) and the King of the Mountain Climbing Hill. Bullswool Farm Park is not just a farm - it's one step from being a zoo, with a wide range of animals to see with picnic and play areas for the kids! The farm is near to Waihi, Paeroa and the famous Karangahake Gorge, whose walkway was voted one of the 101 Must-Dos for Kiwis. Bullswool Farm Park was recently voted one of The Coromandel's top attractions. Get up close to a large variety of rare breed farm animals. All are friendly and can be hand-fed. Follow the 1 km walkway around the farm and on your way meet: miniature horses, donkeys, deer, coloured sheep, emus, ducks, chickens, llamas, kunekune pigs, paint horses, miniature cattle, alpacas, and pygmy goats. This is a chance to enjoy a unique hands-on, authentic working farm experience. This treat also includes admission to the Big Hills and Thrills Bike Track - a mountain bike track for kids aged 6 - 12, where they'll take a pedal-free balance bike on a wild ride downhill! Don't forget to pop into The Gold & Kauri Heritage Museum and Bush Discovery Walk to spot native birds, as they come in to nest in the reserve. Learn about native New Zealand birds, trees and aquatic life, and about the fascinating history of the Karangahake Gorge's first miners and kauri bushmen.
