Lovely day out with the kids and not that far away!
Wife and I went with two kids, Boy nearly 8 and girl nearly 5, we spent most of the day there and walking around the surrounding forest.
There’s plenty for the kids to see and touch! You can go in with the goats, in with the chickens and pick your own eggs (get there early) , you can walk around the pigs.
This place is a gem for young children. There are several playground areas to keep the kids burning energy and parents relaxing.
We used the (busy) cafe and had some lovely cake and a fantastic coffee!
They have a shop where you can purchase all sorts of toys, food made on site, take some €€ with you!
Finally, take some €20c pieces with you to buy plenty of food for the kids to feed the goats, and some €1 euro’s for milk to feed the goatey kids (not for the human kids)
take some bikes and ride around the extensive surrounding parklands / forests also. There’s a fantastic pancake place just a mile walk away!
You can easily spend half a day here, come rain or shine! Some kids would happily have a whole day in this area.
Well recommended
We got an Uber here as we were staying just 4km away :-)

A must visit when wandering around the Bos, where the kids can wander freely amongst the goats, pigs and chickens, feeding them and brushing the goats. Also a good play area and maze to run around. Fab restaurant to enjoy local produce.

After a nice walk you can chill while the kids play on the playground surrounded by goats and small farm animals. You can have goat milk icecream or cheese or have coffeee at the nearby restaurant if you prefer non goat milk food or drink.

Horrible. This place serving as a goat farm for children also serves meat products (little goat meat) . Very hypocrite and sad! Wouldnt recommend this place for children.

This (children’s) farm house is located in the middle of the ‘forest’. It can be visited by bicycle or by car. A few meters way from the farm there is a small car park, and a much bigger one is located a little further away. The farm is relatively big, as far as children are concerned. Many animals including chicken, goats, horses, pigs, etc. Children pick up chicken eggs (i.e. buy & take home!), feed milk to goats, or watch the farmer milking the goats. There is a sizable playground as well. In the weekends and holidays (with a bit sunny weather) it can be quite overcrowded. There is a very nice restaurant, serving organic food, but it is a kind of expensive (a kid and a couple can easily spend 25 euro for a small lunch!). However, it may not be surprising for most because this farm appears to be geared towards a bit of upper middle-class Dutch folks.
One thing we really disliked was: In the children’s playground, two Dutch blonde ladies were puffing cigarettes like a lizard, in front of dozens of children, and yet they looked so proud of their enjoyment. Worse, part of it all, no one said anything to them. In fact, our friends also told us that they encountered people smoking in the playground as well. It’s a bit of shame.

We spent a full Sunday afternoon here. We came on bikes, which in itself was a great experience. The kids played in the playground, bottled the young goats and brushed the goats. Then we spent a short half hour in the maze before we went for a goat’s milk ice cream for the kids and a lovely fresh mint tea for me. We had a really nice afternoon. On the way back we even cycled through the blossom park in the Amsterdam Forest, full in blossom at this time of year!

Our kids loved this little farm so much that we had to visit twice in the week we were in Holland! Not only was it free to enter, it wasnt overly touristy and the kids learnt alot whilst we were there. The playground was excellent and there were noce clean toilet facilities too. The goats were sweet if not a little tired of milk bottles being shoved in front of their faces! The pigs were my favorite and id quite willingly have take one home! Our daughter loved the cows too. We ate the delicious goat milk ice cream and took so of the goats cheese home with us. A place worthy of a visit if you have children with you.

The goatfarm is really great. There are hundrets of goats, some pigs, 2 cows, 2 horses and many chicken. The children can go in the compounds and stroke the animals. There are also many different playgrounds. The farm has a café where you can eat meals but also cake or homemade icecream out of the goat milk. There is also a shop with milk, cheese and other things from the farm. You don't pay entry for the farm. We passed a great day there!
