Choosing an Animal Encounter

On the Ipswich side of Brisbane, the region's animal encounter for groups is EWE Nique Hobby Farm at Haigslea. It is a working 20-acre rural property, set up for small, hands-on visits rather than a big wildlife park.

Which kind of farm visit fits your group:

  • A handful of kids: join a weekend morning session at the farm.
  • A party of 30 or more: book exclusive use on a weekend afternoon.
  • Little ones who love baby animals: winter lambing brings lambs and kids to cuddle.
  • Dinosaur fans: the Fins n Wings n the D's section adds dinosaur models, birds and fish.
  • Budget: entry starts from $12.50 per person, with the dinosaur section included.

Food platters for both adults and children come with the exclusive afternoon parties.
