School holiday activities

Winter School Holidays at Edendale.jpg
Winter School Holidays at Edendale Farm run weekdays Monday 7 July to Friday 18 July.
Get ready for frosty fun!

Put on your warm clothes and visit Edendale Farm for a winter break. Even though it's cold, Edendale is lively and waiting for you to explore. Come say hi to the animals every day from 10am to 430pm (entry by donation).

Bookings for our holiday activities are now open.

We have a range of activity sessions where you can get close to nature and animals and do some fun crafts! Bookings are required for these, see the list below and book early as places fill fast.

But remember, there's lots of free activities everyday too. Explore the farm, find new spots, check out the artworks and learn about the animals and plants at Edendale. It's great for curious kids of all ages to connect with nature.

A little note about parking during busy times:

Our car parks can get full during school holidays, so please allow extra time to find a spot.

If our main car park is full, overflow parking is available at the Eltham North Adventure Playground, a short walk to our North Entrance via the Diamond Creek trail.

We look forward to seeing you for winter fun!

Find out more about parking and planning your visit.
