Arion Farm Education Park

The pony rides were great and the ladies were really friendly and accommodating. The animal layout was good and so cool that we were actually able to go into some of the pens and feed them. Was cool to have Crowntastic events there doing face painting as well

What a phenomenal experience. The staff is hands down the best out there we’ve experienced so far. Thank you so much!!

Can't recommend this place highly enough. Great place to take kids. Helpful staff and well maintained grounds. Lots of livestock around and kids will love feeding the animals! A must visit spot in Christchurch for families with young kids.

Nice day out with the kids. We were there I Easter Sunday. The family fa ilities were not fit to handle the crowds. 40 minute queue to get in, 20 minute queue for the toilet and 30 minute queue for facepainting. Would be a lovely day out at a quieter time. Would recommend the organizers source Portaloos for the next busy day , as 40 dollars per family should allow for this.

If you appreciate a good variety of happy, contended, well cared for, delightful farm animals (that you are encouraged by staff to engage with), friendly, helpful, caring workers, wonderful natural environment for animals and visitors, not to mention the special quiet picnic spot , the children's old tractors for energetic wee ones to clamour over, then the tuck shop for great hot coffees and treats to cool u down or energize you then Arion Farm Park is the place to go with all the family. We all loved our farm animal experience, didn't even need gum boots after the rain. Definitely going back. Adored the sooo cute piglets and baby bunnies! Thank you all at Arion Farm Park for the wonderful care you give the animals. Your the best! ❤️

This place is excellent for a day outdoors, meet farm animals and interact with them, it does not have its own food service, so it is a good idea to have a picnic, it has parking lots and clean bathrooms

Went here for grandsons birthday, you can take your own picnic or hire BBQ area, kids can feed and pat the farm animals, play in play area or take a pony ride. They enjoyed visiting this petting zoo.

Great experience and chance to feed and pet the farm animals. Reasonable prices and feed can be bought. We had a party hut, hired for a birthday. Toilets near office.Friendly animals and hungry at 10am. Spring baby animals were a favourite.

Congratulations on the brilliant changes like many 1 star reviews it had lost its spark but now Def 5 star. Can spend hours here now

Great family experience for small children. Hands on farm animal petting and feeding. Picnic areas and play area. Great place to spend a day and take a lunch. Cafe has coffees and some snacks. Pony rides were the highlight of our day trip to Arion Farm today.
