Trevena Glen Half Day Animal Tour

We recently visited Trevena Glen Farm for a corporate team building day, and it was sensational! The team were incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable and made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. The activities were relaxed, engaging and full of laughter, while the animal encounters were definitely the highlight. There were plenty of smiles, a few people stepping outside their comfort zones, and lots of moments we'll all remember. It was such a lovely way to spend time together away from the office in a beautiful setting. If you're looking for something a little different, Trevena Glen Farm is well worth a visit. We'll certainly be back.

An amazing experience for the kids. Super friendly tour guys and the kids learnt so much. Really unique and lovely experience

Absolutely brilliant day. We visited for my daughters birthday and she was involved in preparing animal feed, walking animals, moving animals to different areas of the farm, feeding them and horse riding. Bryce was our tour guide for the 3 hour private tour and allowed us to do as much or as little as we liked. We loved all the goats, sheep, alpacas, donkeys, horses, rabbits, chicks, guinea pigs and of course Freckles the pig. Bryce is a lovely, personable, mature, responsible and friendly young man. He was very knowledgeable and very patient with the oodles of questions my daughter had and waiting for my 80yo Mum to keep up with us walking all over the farm. We chatted the entire time and nothing was too much trouble for him. Such a wonderful young man of only 18yo and Trevena are lucky to have him. All the staff were extremely friendly and the views over Mt Glorious are stunning. The suggestion to stop at Lake Samsonvale on the way home to watch the sunset was the perfect way to end the day. Highly recommend a visit to Trevena if you love animals. 10/10 from us!

We took our two kindy classes on an excursion to Trevena Glen farm for the day, and it was just the best experience from beginning to end. What a beautiful farm in an idyllic location! The facilities were well set up to accomodate our group (35 kids and about as many adults because of our keen parent helpers), including a fenced eating area and plenty of taps to wash little hands. We had animal experiences which included feeding and/or patting some goats, an alpaca, sheep, rabbits, chickens, pigs and guinea pigs, and brushing the mane and body of a gorgeous little horse. The animals were obviously well cared for, and for many children this was their first (but very memorable) experience up close with these gorgeous, calm creatures. The three farmers who took our three groups around did a fabulous and age-appropriate job of drawing the children’s attention to the ways animals were getting what they needed in the way of food and water and care, and the different shelters and enclosures each animal had which gave them space to roam and play and enjoy the sun and pasture. You’ve never seen a group of four year olds so engaged and calm and happy. It was a perfect experience, ran like clockwork, the staff were so warm and friendly, and the views of the surrounding hills and mountains was breathtaking. As a teacher I’ve been on lots of excursions in my time but this was by far the most memorable, and the children have been sharing so many wonderful learnings and experiences from the day with enthusiasm- and it’s inspired lots of extensions of this learning in their play back at kindy since. Thanks Jeanine and the rest of the team for such a great day out! Oh I can’t believe I almost forgot to include the tractor ride- which was a big hit with kids and adults too!

I could not have loved this place more. My son and I did a 3 hour private tour and we got to spend time with all of the animals with our own private guide. My son rode the donkey. We walked the alpacas and both rode horses. Cuddled guinea pigs and chickens and pat a bunny. Saw an egg in the incubator starting to hatch and all the baby chick's. Fed the pigs. Brushed the goats. Pat a sheep. They also have the grandest tree turned into a treehouse/playground. The place just felt so warm and loved and just beautiful with the mountains behind it and the staff were all wonderful. Particularly our guide Suzie. Well worth the experience and I can't wait to go back and do it again. Getting up close with the animals like that is like therapy! Even my 8 year old said it was a 10 out of 10 and we may need to get some guinea pigs of our own now.

We brought a group of gorgeous Intellectually Disabled adults to Trevena Glen farm and we had a fabulous day! We chose the 3hr animal tour and got to wash miniature horses, lead Alpacas and a Llama, feed Guinea pigs, rabbits, donkeys, sheep, chooks, 2 hilarious pigs (Thanks Peppa and Freckles for some great belly laughs) and had a short horse ride. Afternoon tea was included with a drink, fruit, cake and pikelets with jam. We were so lucky to have Peter for our guide. He made our guys so comfortable and they loved him. He used to be a teacher and he must have been the most fun teacher ever!) The ladies helping us with the horses we're lovely. The staff are experienced with disability, and happily chatted away with all nof us. We will definitely be back, and will be bringing our Grandkids up as well. Thanks to all at the farm. 🥰

My 15 year old daughter went to Trevena Glen farm for the farmer half day experience and had a wonderful time, she would highly recommend it. The small groups and the friendly staff really made it an enjoyable experience.

Absolutely loved our experiance, we got to see and do so much. We met so many animals and got a real hands on experience! Sarah was an amazing guide really knowledgeable about the entire farm and made us feel so welcome.

We did the half day animal tour, it was amazing!! My kids loved all the animals, our guide was wonderful, so chatty and informative. Well worth the money, I would highly recommend.

My daughter and I did the 3hr private farm tour with Maddy today and it was a wonderful experience. We both absolutely loved the relaxed pace of the tour, the time with the animals and the peaceful atmosphere that this beautiful farm has. A wonderful experience and one I know that my daughter and I will always remember. Thanks Maddy, you are wonderful at your job :)
