A working urban farm in the middle of Melbourne — here’s our complete family guide with everything you need to know.
Collingwood Children’s Farm is one of those Melbourne places that feels like a secret even though it’s been there for decades. A working farm — complete with cows, goats, pigs, and chickens — less than 4km from the CBD.
Getting there
Tram 86 or 96 to Johnston Street, then a short walk. Parking is very limited — public transport is strongly recommended on weekends.
What the kids love most
- Feeding the goats (bring your own veggie scraps)
- Meeting the pigs at feeding time (10am daily)
- The egg collecting experience on weekend mornings
- Running in the open paddocks — the freedom of space is rare this close to the CBD
