Birthday Party Package - Farm Entry

Celebrate your next birthday at Sheepworld Farm in Warkworth with hands-on animal feeding, an interactive farm tour, and party fun for kids and adults alike. Discover how this unique farm venue brings nature and celebration together seamlessly.

Sheepworld, located at 324 State Highway 1 in Warkworth, Auckland, New Zealand, offers a refreshing take on celebrating birthdays with an outdoor farm experience that appeals to families and animal lovers of all ages. This package combines hands-on interaction with friendly farm animals and a lively, kid-friendly setting that feels both adventurous and welcoming. Set on a spacious farm that thrives on education and engagement, Sheepworld invites visitors to spend about four hours immersed in nature’s rhythms.

Birthday parties enjoy exclusive use of a large marquee adjacent to the playground, making it easy for parents and children to mingle comfortably. During the visit, guests receive ten animal feed bags to hand-feed sheep, goats, rabbits, and chickens. A highlight of the visit is the guided 12:30pm Animal Feed-out Tour, led by an experienced farmer who shares insights while helping children meet the babies on the farm.

The farm’s layout includes a well-maintained Eco Trail, perfect for short walks and spotting native birdlife. Besides the animal interactions, guests can either bring their own food or opt for specially prepared kids’ party platters from the onsite cafe, offering a hassle-free meal option. The farm's attention to accessibility, with plenty of parking and pram-friendly paths, ensures that everyone can comfortably join the celebration.

Sheepworld is unique in the Auckland region for its hands-on approach to farm education combined with a lively party atmosphere.
