Farm Ventures

You have to make a trip to Farm Ventures and see these remarkable animals. This is a peace of heaven.

I recently hosted my son's third birthday party at Farm Ventures, and it was a fantastic experience! The day was filled with fun activities and adorable animals. We had the chance to pet and hold bunnies and guinea pigs, which the kids absolutely loved. The farm also had a variety of animals to see, including horses, ducks, a goat, peacocks, ponies, pigeons, and pigs. What I appreciated most was that they tailored the tour to our pace, ensuring we got to enjoy every moment. Highly recommended for family outings and celebrations!

Agreeing with many others here that it's a fun place for kids travelling to Sunshine Coast.

It happened to be drizzling on the day we went so many others had cancelled - Bette-Lyn was very kind to let my kids ride on separate ponies; in fact she let my son ride on the horse which was a huge highlight for him so thanks for making my kids day!

My kids also enjoyed hanging out with the bunnies; even though I'm not super into farms but man, when do you ever get to see not just one, but three peacocks, that up close!? Awesome!

Staff was very kind and helpful as well - will definitely come back for another visit with the kids!

Family trail ride; 40 minutes.

Super friendly and calm staff.
Appropriate instruction.

Had a great time doing a family trail ride at Farm Ventures. Staff were helpful and friendly. Horses have personality but never felt like they were skittish or uneasy. Was the highlight of our little trip on the Sunshine Coast.

We had the best time at Farm Ventures. The petting farm is wonderful for everyone - big and small. Louise looked after us and we had a great time.
My four year old went riding for the first time properly on Thunder the Shetland and loved it.
Bette-Lynne looked after us so well and runs a gorgeous proper happy family farm. I also went on a treck with her and had the best time, her horses are really very special not any old treck horses. It was a huge treat.
We highly recommend, it's a really special place. My son
wants to go riding again now - high praise from a boy who was not interested before this ride on Thunder!

Very warm and patient help. My daughter was quite anxious about the trail ride, and the trainers were very patient and helpful. Was a great experience.

We had a super time at Farm Ventures! Bette and Dustin were super hosts and their love of animals is so apparent and infectious ️ We got to play with rabbits, guinea pigs, chicken, ducks, goats, pigs and more, plus we got to feed them and hold them. My kids, 8 and 10, were in absolute heaven! Highly recommended for a great experience!

An absolutely amazing and enriching experience for my kids (ages 6 and 7) and I in Nov. The farm visit was immersive with feeding of lots of different types of animals, and the pony and horseback 1h 15min trail ride for us was excellent for my kids’ first rides.

The owner runs the farm with a lot of love and heart, which makes it an especially wonderful experience. The staff are great too.

If you’re willing to feed lots of animals and get a little dirty, it’s the perfect opportunity to help your kids overcome their fear of animals and get a chance to interact with an array of them.

Very highly recommend this as a kids activity in Gibsons. Possibly one of the top experiences for kids. Will definitely be returning.

Drove by their sign on the side of the highway and decided to do a "spontaneous" trail ride on horse back. Did not disappoint! Caring staff and happy animals made for an awesome experience.

We had the best day ever with Sheri my grandchildren were all smiles.pony rides and sunshine. You cant make it a better day. Thank you everyone.

We had an amazing experience at Farm Ventures. The horses were well behaved and gentle. We went on a trail ride up to the forest and had a very enjoyable time. It is clear that all the staff love the horses and take such pride in treating them well. We were also given treats to give our horses to further our bond with them. Seeing the pigs and other farm animals was an added bonus! Highly recommend!

Such a wonderful experience! Highly recommended, a must visit in Sunshine Coast. The owner, Bette was so informative, passionate and friendly. We had a huge group with many toddlers. They were running around, rowdy, but every staff was super patient and friendly with our group. All the animals were so gentle and friendly. It’s an very fun and interactive experience for all ages. We would definitely come back just for this experience! Hose back riding is a must!

We had an amazing tour with Jossie. We were a big group of 11 but handled exceptionally well. We have been to many farms and petting zoos but this experience was very intimate, educational, hands-on and uniquely designed.

Me and two friends of mine did the 4 hour mountain trailride yesterday. It was an absolutely amazing experience, as I've never been on such a long trailride before.
Our horses Gulliver, Linda and Walker did a really good job, they didn't trip once, even though the trail was quite challenging at some parts. And they're all pretty well-muscled, so they didn't seem to get tired at all in these four hours.
When we arrived at our destination both we and the horses had a nice picnic with ocean view:)
So it's been a really beautiful day and I can highly recommend this mountain trailride to everyone who loves spending lots of time in the saddle with lovely horses!

We had such an amazing day at the farm! So many amazing animals to interact with, feed and have fun with including peacocks, micro pigs, donkeys, horses, teeny tiny bunnies, lamas, ducks and many more. The private tour includes funny animal tricks & performances, everything from a horse singing happy birthday to a smiling pig. A day not to be missed. Jess was our tour guide and went above and beyond to make our day fun and memorable. So informative and friendly (& Irish!) Would definitely return. Highly recommend!

Our 4 year old had the best farm experience ever! Chicken, turkey, goat, peacock, mini pig, goose, lama, donkey, horse, bunnies. You name it. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Will visit again for sure.

We love visiting farm ventures when ever we get the chance. All the staff are such wonderful people and the animals are so friendly and cute. We always look forward to their events. Highly recommend checking them out!

I had an amazing ride with my friends and Bette-Lyn, the owner, at this place. The view was awesome and my horse Snowy was so gentle during the ride. I really recommend the farm!

I had a wonderful time on the trail ride today, we did the two hours ride up on the tree farm and I highly recommend it. Beautiful view, the horses were great and super sweet; I definitely recommend to check this farm out! I will come back soon for another visit.

My kids and I loved it! It was fantastic. We were able to feed the animals and look around the farm. We are definitely going back again

I had lot's of fun going on a ride there. The horses are well behaved and the trails are very beautiful. Definitely recommend to check the place out!:)

This is an awesome place for kids. My 3 year old daughter went for her birthday and won't stop talking about it. We will be back

We had a wonderful time trail riding. Bette-lyn and her team took great care of us, since we all are beginners. With 3 adults and 2 boys they had their hands full helping out with leading and encouraging us and the horses. All the horses were gentle and wonderful. Thank you so much for this great experience, we will be back!

We LOVE Farm Ventures so much - and have been there three times already - after our last visit, we decided to bring some of the animals home with us! After our kids (5,7 and 9) met some baby bunnies there, two months later we're now welcoming Marshmallow and Cinnamon into our home. They are so gentle and amazing, love being held. Thank you so much for raising such healthy and gentle bunnies. We promise to take good care of these Angora/Lion Lops! Looking forward to our next visit!

I went for a trail ride at this farm. I was with the horse Gulliver and he was amazing. The staff Pascal and Mylan are also very friendly. I recommend.

This is the BEST TIME you can have on the coast. BEST VALUE and INCREDIBLE EXPEREINCE. Pulling in, you have no idea what to expect. You open the doors to Narnia. The staff is beyond accommodating and makes the experience a super charged adventure. Do not deny yourself and your children of this place! I truly felt like a child again. Talking horses, smiling pigs and kind people. You cant recreate this.

Loved the trail ride and all the different animals hanging out together. Tetley & Licorice, the pigs, are awesome. The team here is great, highly recommend!

This place is amazing! I having been volunteering on the farm for 1 month now, I love every minute of my experience. The owners are super kind and patient. Its like temporarily being in a farm wonderland!

We had the best time here for my daughter's birthday party - amazing friendly staff and animals! Highly recommend for kids and grown ups!

The farm tour was so much fun for all ages! We were expecting to just roam around petting and feeding animals, not knowing the tour actually provide us feeds, information and have the animals do their special tricks. There is even a room of bunnies, Guinea pigs for you to enjoy. We had so much fun!

We had a great time at the farm today! My almost 6 year old and I did a trail ride while my almost 2 year old and wife did a farm tour. Everyone had a great time. The folks that run this place are so kind. It’s clear that they really care for the animals. Our trail ride guides, Pascal and Max were lovely.

Had an amazing visit here on the 1.5 hour ride. The staff are friendly, patient and great for anyone like me who has no prior experience with horses.

Our family has very different levels of riding experience and we were well matched to horses and personally escorted on the ride. The owners are very knowledgeable and patient, and their animals are clearly well loved. We all had a great time and will visit again.
