This free working farm park lets kids feed and interact with sheep, goats, pigs, and chickens — no tickets or bookings required. Arrive during weekend morning feeding sessions around 10am and 2pm for the best animal interaction. The coastal walkway is mostly flat and paved for the first kilometre, making it very stroller-friendly with stunning Manukau Harbour views. Facilities include clean toilets near the main carpark and grassy areas perfect for a packed lunch. Mud and animal mess are guaranteed, so bring a change of clothes for toddlers.
