Tatum Hills Farm visit
Join us for a fun private tour of the farm where you get an opportunity to meet and interact with our animals while learning about them. BOOK HERE
What noise do llamas make? What are llama slippers? Do all goats have horns? How do chickens chew their food? These are just some of the fun facts you’ll learn while visiting Tatum Hills. You will also get an opportunity to feed and pat the llamas and goats, collect some fresh eggs, feed the chickens and ducks, learn about how feathers work and how a chick develops, cuddle a guinea pig and much more. Occasionally we may have some baby animals for you to cuddle.
Bring morning or afternoon tea to enjoy while the children play in the sand pit and make some llama crafts. Lots of wild kangaroos live at Tatum Hills so you may also get a chance to observe them.

The tour- BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
Tatum Hills is located in Bywong, NSW, an easy 30 minute drive from the centre of Canberra.
Our farm is not a farmyard nursery, but a pet farm aiming to show adults and children how to interact respectfully with the animals. The focus is to learn about them and to understand their behaviour. Only one group of people is allowed on the property at any one time to ensure a personal and more enjoyable experience.
The animal tour lasts about 1 hour and takes you around the farm to meet all the animals and spend time with them.
The farm tour PLUS lasts about 1.5 hours. For the first hour, visitors enjoy meeting and interacting with the animals as in the animal tour, then they can choose to do some craft activities while the parents have a rest; or have a picnic near the animals (BYO Food and drinks).
Tours are mostly aimed at children 2-12 years old and their families, but we think others will enjoy visiting Tatum Hills too. We are always happy to discuss each group's needs during the booking process to customise your visit as much as we can.

Your host
I live at Tatum Hills Farm with my partner and our young daughter. I am a science communicator and mad animal lover.
I worked at CSIRO education for many years making science fun for both adults and children and I am now applying that experience to our farm tours. I greatly enjoy caring for our animals, observing them and getting to know them and I’d like to share my passion with a wider audience.
You can read more about our farm philosophy here.
I look forward to your visit!
