Petting, feeding, riding: ADVENTURE FARMS FOR CHILDREN 🐴🐮
Do your children love animals?
If you want something different than the zoo or wildlife park , a visit to an adventure farm is just the thing for you and your kids.
Get involved yourself, pet , feed and groom animals, take a pony walk or collect eggs from the chickens ... all of this awaits you and your family if you just give it a go. 🥚🐔 And while you're there, you can often stock up on great products at the farm shop !
Today we present four - very different - farms where you can immerse yourself in the farm experience:
🐷 Animal world Rainguthof (Trentino-South Tyrol)
🦙 Alpacas at Waltersberg (Switzerland)
🐎 Equestrian and adventure farm Groß Briesen (Germany)

+++ Holiday on the adventure farm? 🌱🌿 +++
We have deliberately chosen adventure farms for day trips. If you are thinking of a holiday on an adventure farm , take a look at our partner platform www.bauernhofurlaub.info 🤗
👇 Here are our tips!
Tip 1: Farm with mountain panorama
Families with children will find a true paradise on the Rainguthof mountain farm . Many well-known and rare animals roam around in a large, lovingly designed outdoor area with many small stables. Children can pet many of the animals, some of which roam freely, and feed them with the food provided.
A snack stand with drinks and small meals provides refreshments in between. There is also a playground and a picnic area on site.
The Rainguthof is open all year round and admission is free - voluntary donations are of course welcome. It is located directly on the road leading to the Gampen Pass, about 2 km above the village of Gfrill in the municipality of Tisens. There is a free, spacious car park directly at the Rainguthof animal world.
