Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Richard is very knowledgeable answering all our inquisitive questions patiently! His animals are family to him and is evident in his passion and love for them! Totally enjoyed the tour and well worth our 2 hours spent. Thank you Richard for having us! We miss Mandy, the miniature horse.

We decided to make a short stop over at Timaru on the way to Christchurch and paid this lovely farm a visit. My husband and I had so much fun here interacting with the sheep, cows, chicken, alpacas, goats and rabbits. The owner was very welcoming and he took the time to give us a short tour as well as a very insightful commentary about every single one of his farm animals. He even lent my husband gum boots to wear into the goat pen! If you're ever in Timaru, this is a place you HAVE to visit!!

Always wanted to visit a farm to learn how farm animals live, the owner Richard was very accommodating and he gave us an educational tour where we got to touch and feed the lovely animals! Beautiful friendly chickens, sheep, pigs, miniature horses, ponies, alpaca, lambs, goats and favourite is the beautiful Zoe the rabbit! Most memorable experience!

But I loved every minute of it.
Beautiful little spot, the owners are super nice and very welcoming.
Lots of animals and "most" are well behaved.
Had a great morning there, lots to see and do.

We had our August itinerary completely planned out, but my husband suggested that we (2 grown adults without children) make a stop at Famlan on the way back to Christchurch and I am so glad he did! It was the middle of winter and it had rained the few days before we visited, so we were the only ones at the farm on this day. Thankfully, they had boots for us to borrow. The owner (I don't think we caught his name but I named him Farmer Dan!) was nice enough to show us around the farm, take us into the goat pen, and introduce us to all the animals! I felt a little like Snow White because there were chickens and ducks following us everywhere! Farmer Dan even said that on a usual dry day, some of the horses could be found roaming free also. We went to a total of 3 farms in New Zealand and I have to say this one was very reasonably priced compared to the others, plus it was probably the best for animals! I wish they would add a gift shop!!

My boyfriend and I (25 and 26) loved visiting here so much. The animals were all so friendly and it was amazing being able to get so close to them. I fell in love with the miniature horse 😍. The owner was lovely and very informative. I visited today and want to go back again already!

We came here over the holidays. We had a blast! Kids loved getting to pat/ feed the animals. Hope trouble is behaving himself! Highly recommend for anyone young and old to visit :)

We are thankful we found this attraction, close to town, a neat setting, great fun and very educational well equiped mini farm. I saw gumboots to borrow and lots of bikes and ride-ons for children. We enjoyed a variety of well mannered happy animals. Very friendly hosts and we were made to feel very welcome. Great knowledge is shared so the trip can be very educational if you wish. There are picnic tables for a picnic (bathroom also). I was also impressed with animal welfare. I can see a lot of effort is invested here and we appreciate it all. I highly recommend visiting Famlan Farm Park. There is something around every corner! Even a bug hotel!
