Chesterfield Farm- PLEASE PRE PURCHASE TICKETS
๐ Scoresby, VIC
Working farm in Scoresby open seven days with hands-on animal feeding, tractor rides, sheep shearing and working dog demonstrations in an all-weather show barn. Pre-purchased tickets required.
Amazingly quite fun for the kids in the chilly weather. We were late for our tractor ride due to unexpected congestions but they kindly allowed us to ride on later. Able to purchase the feed at 5aud and was gone immediately at the ostrichโs. There were horse, ponies, donkey, goats, sheep, alpaca, lizard, cows, kangaroos, deers, pigs outside in the farm. They have a nursery too, which does not allow feeding, includes birds, parrots, mice, smaller animals like bunnies , Guinea pigs, chicks. The milking session and sheepdog performance were quite informative too. Delicious food and coffee!! Overall enjoyable farm with the kids.
๐ Family Action Verdict
Best for primary-age kids and curious toddlers who want genuine hands-on contact with farm animals rather than a zoo-style viewing experience. The tractor ride and show barn demonstrations add structure to the visit. Pre-purchase tickets before leaving home โ the online booking step catches some visitors off guard.

โThis is a great place to enjoy farm life and to take the family to experience rural farm life, open to the public 7 days a week. Entry fees apply at Farm and concession and family tickets are available. Watch working dogs, milking and sheep shearing demonstrations in the all-weather show barn. Coffee was great. Open at 10 am till 3 pmโ

โConsidering that this is a paid entrance fee farm I think they couldโve did some improvements. Staff I didnโt feel the staff was that friendly. I had some issues purchasing the tickets online as I am from overseas. The staff expected me to know someone from Australia and use the address. Wasnโt too pleased when in the end had to pay cash. Perhaps they didnโt expect overseas tourist to visit. Online Payment There was no benefit from purchasing online, itโs not like you get a free foodie bag per person. I didnโt see the point of purchasing online. Tractor (Purchase Tickets) They did share that if taking the tractor will need to pay. However I saw how big the farm is and how little animals there were, I didnโt feel I missed out on it. Probably wasnโt that worth it. Animals For the well being of the field animals, itโs lovely. Great space for them to run around and rest. I respect that. But if youโre unlucky, the animals maybe far away and donโt get to see them. Duration I felt the duration was probably 1-2hrs and thatโs more than enough. Overall I felt for a paying farm, and Iโve been to a few others before. It wasnโt that worth it. Considering that itโs a paid farm, they could do with some improvement works. I wouldnโt return.โ
