If you’re looking for a unique outing with the kids beyond the usual playgrounds and activities, how about a visit to a goat farm in Singapore or a local vegetable farm to learn about where veggies come from? It’s amazing to know there are so many animal farms in Singapore from fish farms to chicken, duck and quail farms, to the one and only goat farm in Singapore – most of which are clustered in the northwest part of Singapore in the Kranji/Lim Chu Kang countryside. There are over 100 farms in Singapore including some urban farms right in town – to those producing dairy (one of our favourites is the Hay Dairies goat farm in Singapore). While there aren’t any traditional ‘petting farms’, we round up all the places where kids can interact with animals – from feeding goats at the goat farm in Singapore, to feeding ducks and chickens and collecting eggs at Sprouts Hub Urban Farm – we even list where you can feed rhinos, elephants and tortoises! To get a slice of a slower pace of ‘kampung’ life, read on for our recommendations of some of the best animal farms in Singapore!
