Our shed has a fantastic selection of birds and animals and is indoors so no matter what the weather is like you can come and have fun and see all the cute little animals in the barn such as rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, mice and rats!!

We also have a really cool tractor area where the younger children can trundle about and even do a bit of digging in our special digging pit! For the slightly older kids we have a special racing track to race our rough riders on and it is all enclosed so they can race without fear of bumping into anyone small. They can also race to milk our milking cow.

CAMERAS AND PICNICS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME AT KIA ORA OPEN FARM.



Enjoy a sing-a-long ride in our Red Fire Engine, see the open farm!!    Ideal for school tours in Wexford, Wicklow and the South East.

Kia Ora Mini Farm is a fabulous open farm and an old favourite for a great family day out !

Children can Ride around on their own toy farm tractors and play with diggers in the sand-pits. Try racing each other around our rough rider track. For the more senior citizens, there is an interesting Museum-type Exhibition of farm memorabelia and, if you're interested, even an old threshing Mill.

We have a Cosy Countrystyle Café with  refreshments, sweets, drinks, sandwiches and cakes - you can enjoy your delicious snack sitting inside or outside and you can even keep an eye on the younger folks whilst doing so.

NEW ADDITION...The Milking Cow - Race and see who can milk the most!

Our new addition to our pet farm.

is a life size milking cow but here at Kia Ora we are not sure at the moment what to name her so perhaps you could help us...Please email all suggestions to us - the best suggestion for this competition can come and milk the cow themselves and have their picture taken and uploaded onto our website and be immortalised forever as part of Kia Ora Mini Farms history. Why not pop along and have a go at giving the cow a milk! just like the real thing but without the worry of a kick!

NOV 28th 09 SANTA HAS ARRIVED

Visit our winter wonderland and sip a steaming hot chocolate/tea/coffee/mulled wine from our cosy cafe whilst the children can visit all the exciting cute and cuddly pets that we have here at Kia Ora and get a fantastic present from Santa Claus. Cameras and Camcorders are very welcome.

Many of the farm animals have really funny personalities (which you'll find out for yourselves!) including our darlings Bella and Babe the pot bellied pigs not to mention our trickster parrots who just love to whistle the dog down to the barn only for her to wonder why she's sent back to bed again..
