Beltana Farm

Last updated April 2026

Beltana Farm in Canberra transforms a working farm visit into a hands-on adventure where kids can feed goats, collect fresh eggs, and meet baby chicks in the pens. The farm’s open spaces invite little explorers to wander between the orchard and vegetable gardens, while parents relax by the picnic tables under the big gum trees. Seasonal activities like pumpkin picking in autumn or strawberry picking in summer make every visit feel special. With wide grassy areas and shaded spots, it’s a place where families can spend hours without feeling cramped. This is the kind of farm visit that turns screen time into muddy boots and happy memories. What to Bring Dress for outdoor play—closed shoes and a hat are essential. Bring a water bottle to refill at the farm stand. Pack a picnic or grab snacks from the farm’s honesty box when hunger strikes. Wipes and a change of clothes come in handy after messy farm encounters. Best Age Range Perfect for 2–8 year olds who love animals and space to run. Toddlers will adore the gentle petting area and short walks. Good to Know Entry is free to explore the farmyard and gardens. Small fees apply for activities like pony rides or picking seasonal produce. Weekday mornings are quieter than weekends. The farm closes at dusk year-round. Nearby Tiley’s Devine Bakery in Pialligo, Canberra, for fresh pies and treats after your visit. The Pialligo Estate cellar door is a five-minute drive away for parents who fancy a local wine tasting. Tips From Other Parents Go early on weekends—it gets busy by 10am. Bring a spare change of clothes; kids always end up with messy hands and new friends.
