👍👍 Great place to come for a walk by yourself or with the kids. The parc is free to enter which can be a great break from working from this home in this new era. Who knew there was a farm in the middle of Brussels? People often mention animals, farm, city, children, small, park, nice, Brussels, middle, pour,

    A great idea, but implementation could be done better. It is great to have a place with live domestic animals in a city, so children have an idea what is going on on a farm. The location is also very convenient. I like the idea of using plastic and metal waste in design and decoration of the place. However, it could have been done with more aesthetic way. The building was closed for holidays, but the notice on it said they have workshops for children in other days. Worth visiting with small children if they like (to see) animals. Touching and feeding was not allowed there.

    What a sad place... so dirty, so unwelcoming, weeds everywhere, animals in pathetic situation, parts of the place dangerous for the kids. It is supposed to be a place of joy not only for kids, but actually it is a place to be avoided. Animal farms take a lot of work and love to be proper, and here it is obvious there is no care. We went very enthousiastic today to visit this place, but returned home dissapointed 😟

    This is a hidden gem in this part of Brussels. A must see while in the area! Chickens, ducks and other small animals walk around and are not shy to come to you. There are alpacas, sheep and horses as well. Beautiful small place for having a bit of a relaxing time.

  • 4/5 Ashley B. 5 years ago on Google
    A fantastic little quiet place to bring small children away from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding neighbourhood, even if it's just to sit quietly and enjoy a little break. At times the animals are looking a little scruffy, especially in winter, but they are taken care off, and the personnel on site are always very friendly.

    Lovely place to calm down and watch farm animals. I loved it. I wouldn't expect anything like that in the middle of Brussels

    HIDDEN GEM IN BRUSSELS Just outside the heart of the city, this park hosts an array of farm animals for all ages to see and enjoy. Whether you have kids or are traveling by yourself, you’ll find this park cute and peaceful. The best part, this park is free to all visitors.

  • 3/5 Mediterra P. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Something a bit run-down. Strange to see a farm in the center. Nice to walk with children. Few animals and dirty enclosures for the animals. (Original) Iets wat verloederd. Raar om een boerderijtje te zien in het centrum. Leuk om met kinderen door te wandelen. Weinig dieren en vuile verblijven voor de dieren.

  • 4/5 Marc M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Hardly believable a small educational farm, in the heart of Brussels ... and its automobile pollution. Admittedly, there are not as many animals as on a real farm ... but for a city-dweller, who has only known concrete, it is a real discovery. Doomed to disappear, in the medium term, under real estate pressure ??? I hope not ! (Original) A peine croyable une petite ferme pédagogique, en plein cœur de Bruxelles... et de sa pollution automobile. Certes, il n'y a pas autant d'animaux que dans une véritable ferme... mais pour un enfant citadin, qui n'a connu que du béton, c'est une véritable découverte. Vouée à disparaître, à moyen terme, sous la pression immobilière ??? J'espère que non !

    Who could have imagined that such a nice little farm exists in the heart of Brussels? Ideal place for family with kids. Professional & friendly staff. Easy to access via metro (Yser station is at 3 min walking distance). The animals all seem happy and are in good condition with a decent amount of space for them to run around in.

    A small animal farm in the heart of Brussels, just 4 minutes walk from the Grand Place. A good selection of animals, mainly domestic like donkeys, ducks and geese, bunnies, sheep, goats... free entrance, so a nice place to unwind during lunch break!

    Charming city farm, established over 30 years, surrounded by mature trees, providing bucolic home to various animals in a sustainable system. Run by admirably dedicated personnel.

  • 5/5 David M. 10 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    We visited with our 3 yr old and she loved to see the animals. Unfortunately you cannot really get up close and personal with any unless part of a group (e.g. school or some other "animation"), however the volunteers working there are very welcoming, super friendly and very knowledgeable. When time to leave, my daughter didn't want to go. Visiting the whole farm doesn't take longer than 1 to 2 hrs max

  • 5/5 Pierre V. 4 years ago on Google
    A little gem in the city. I just really hope this will still exists in 5 years, as it is really unique to have a farm in the center of a capital.

  • 5/5 Stefan M. 4 years ago on Google
    A perfectly situated animal farm inside the urban jungle of Brussels. Very accessible and kind staff, which was very informative about the animals, as well. Cute animals and good living conditions for them. Even though this habitat js meant for children, adults can have as much fun as them. A great innovative project and a perfect example of social entrepreneurship within the city.

  • 5/5 Sissy N. 2 years ago on Google

    My 3 year old daughter liked the farm and enjoyed watching the animals and birds. Unfortunately she couldn’t go near the animals and she wanted to touch and feed the animals. I am not sure how to register for such activity.
