Golden Ridge Animal Farm Dural - Sydney - Review
During the July holidays, the kids and I were invited to visit the Golden Ridge Animal Farm in Dural. We were so happy to go as we’ve always had the visit on our to-do list!
On our arrival, the kids were so excited to see all the animals and couldn’t wait to hold and give cuddles to the baby chicks, rabbits and ducklings waiting for them in the barn! They also got to see a cow being milked under the barn too. Time under the barn is restricted due to covid19 restrictions.

We then took ourselves on a self guided tour around the farm outside where visitors can spend as much time as they want in the open air looking at and feeding the farm animals.

The kids really enjoyed feeding all the animals by the bucket load around the farm ha! You can purchase a bucket of feed for $5 each which includes hay, carrots and bread.

We really had the best time at the Golden Ridge Animal Farm and cannot wait to visit again. It is such a nice family run business and the kids and I had such a great time seeing, cuddling and feeding the farm animals. Don’t miss the little piglets while you’re there too - so so cute!
