Ambury Farm

A free working farm managed by Auckland Council, where kids can meet sheep, cattle, pigs and chickens up close. Set on the Manukau Harbour with lovely coastal walkway access, it's a wonderful spot for little ones to discover where food comes from whilst enjoying fresh air and wide open spaces.

Great little outing for our little family. Went to see the animals. Baby is 16mo and loved it. Animals are friendly and there is clear signage to say which areas you can go into or not. It is an easy enough round track for small kids. Its mostly stroller friendly. There are bathrooms. They feed the animals so check the website for times. Parking gets full quickly. There is a good amount of picnic tables and shade available. We saw horses, goats, sheep, pigs and chickens.

FREE!!! And you get to pet the animals (if they are wanting). I fell in love w/ the sheep in NZ on this trip and was excited to learn I may be able to actually pet one here. I DID!💕 There was a small peeps school trip going on and we tagged along a bit. The guide was so informative and kind. He gave everyone (including us!) some food to feed the sheep. There are other animals: Horses, goats, pigs, chickens and roosters. There is a nice “bug garden” as well. Trails lead from here to the Watercare Coastal walkway. Bathrooms available. Easy access.

Truly amazing farm! Very well maintained, extremely friendly staff and loads of different animals that are so pleasant and friendly. They loved to be petted and fed grass, and was such a fun day for the whole family, kids and adults alike. An amazing seedling swap was going on in the barn and we totally loved that too, as they gave out lots of free seedlings, seeds and soil for kids to start doing their own planting. Very friendly staff at the seedling swap. Lots of picnic benches that we used to have the food we brought. Lovely place and highly recommend it to all. Great work by the council for keeping such places free for access to all !

A free for all farm in Auckland?! Amazing! We saw lots of farm animals: sheeps, chickens, goats, horses, pigs, and even a bunny! They even have an insect garden if that fancies you. There’s a trail you can follow and there are signs to be aware of. There are certain areas where you can go in and get up close with the animals, how cool is that! You can also enjoy the coastal walkway if you want to get your steps in or bring a feed since there are picnic tables around - however, the smell of the farm is quite strong as it would be. It’s quite a cool place to check out. I would recommend this to locals and visitors!
