Granary Road Exhibits
Farmyard Friends
Visit our Farm Friends Petting Zoo where you can get up close to pet our friendly herd of goats – be warned that they love to jump and climb! Say hello to our miniature ponies and Eeyore the donkey.
We’ve got a flock of chickens that like to wander around the grounds, woolly sheep and cheeky alpacas. See if you can spot our cute ducks and the pigs wallowing in their mud-baths. Learn all about animal husbandry and what it takes to look after a working farm!
Frog Pond Fun Pad
Our Frog Pond area teaches us all about frog metamorphosis, environment, and frog anatomy. Pretend to be a frog or toad while leaping across our lily pad spinners.
Slide down a slippery frog tongue and bounce along the trampolines to see how high you can frog-leap! Balance on tadpole spring boards and jump along our toad bumps.​
Arachnid Web
Watch out for our resident Spiders that have spun some giant webs for you to climb and swing on! Don’t worry they won’t bite, you can take a seat on the back of our spiders and see if you can escape the web before the spider catches you!
Learn all about these fascinating creatures, nature’s architects at Arachnid Web.​
Mushroom Meander
Honey, we blew up the Mushrooms! Feel like a tiny critter and weave your way through the giant mushrooms. Climb up to the Portobello Porch or through and on top of the Blue Oyster Log.
Play hide and seek amongst the mushroom stalks. There’s too much fun-gi to be had in Mushroom Meander!​
Ant Farm Adventure
Discover the fascinating world of Ants in our life-size Ant Farm. With 4 storeys to explore, interior slides, climbing nets and wobbly wooden walkways you can wander around the Ant Farm and go all the way to the top for a spectacular view of the park and the stunning valley landscape.

Orchard Treehouse
Our larger than life Orchard is a huge fruit tree waiting for you to climb up and slide down the 2 storey corkscrew apple slide.

Bee Hive Honeycomb
Bzzzz. There’s no stings here! Explore our life-size honeycomb, bee rollers and giant bees buzzing around the hive. Check out the local flowers in our honey bee garden area and if you are lucky you might spot a few bees collecting pollen to take back to the Granary Road hives.
Did you know we also sell our honey in our Farmer’s Market? Take some home and taste the difference – it’s bee-licious.​
Bat Cave Hangout
Take a trip through our bat caves learning all about the different species of bats, anatomy and echo-location.
