Choosing an Animal Encounter

Nature is part of daily life in the Tomaree towns: dolphins work the bay off Nelson Bay and Shoal Bay, and whales pass the headlands roughly from May to November. For a kids' birthday built around animals up close, families from across the region head to Port Stephens Animal Adventures at Bobs Farm.

Choosing a Tomaree animal outing for a child's birthday:

  • Bay and ocean wildlife depends on the season and the sea, so it suits a family day more than a fixed party time.
  • The Bobs Farm park is indoors, which gives a booked birthday a reliable plan in any weather.
  • Children there feed sharks and rays and hold reptiles for photos.
  • A party reserves a table area for an hour, and guests keep all-day entry.
  • Bookings need 10 guests or more, from $35 per person.

Families in Nelson Bay, Corlette, Anna Bay or One Mile can all reach Bobs Farm easily for a party.

Fitting a Bobs Farm party into a Tomaree weekend
