Description

Our ponies, chickens, sheep and goats are looking forward to meeting the kids! Let RSPCA’s qualified teachers take the kids on a visit to our super fun on-site barn and guide them through a range of interactive animal activities.  Your child will discover what small pets need to be happy and healthy and feed some snacks to our friendly farm animals. Let's do some animal themed art and craft too!

* This program is available only to children aged 5 – 7 years. 

 NB:  All programs are delivered and facilitated by qualified staff and do not require that parents/guardians stay during the session.  If you feel that your child needs additional support, please discuss with a member of our team.

We are a non-government, community based charity that works to prevent cruelty to animals by actively promoting their care and protection. RSPCA Victoria was established in Melbourne in 1871. Since this time, the RSPCA has become Australia's leading animal welfare charity.

Our community services include work in education, advocacy, animal care and protection. In Victoria, we operate nine animal Adoption Care Centres and one community pet care centre, providing refuge and care to more than 20,000 animals every year. 

As a not-for-profit organisation, we rely on community support to care for 'all creatures great and small'.  More than 90% of our funding is due to the generous support of the Victorian community.
