Cow Cuddling Animal Experience with Craft Activities

Come along and meet our Hoof Prints family, enjoy spending time with our calves, horses and guinea pigs



2 hours Location Dayboro Experience size 1 to 8 guests   $65 - $180 ($65 for Public class; $180 for Family) (Afterpay available)

Join us for a delightful morning filled with heartwarming animal experiences and craft activities in Dayboro.
In this experience, you will have the opportunity to meet our friendly calves Chino, Caramel, Milo and Little Red. Spend time bottle feeding the little red patting, cuddling, and grooming them, creating a mutual bond of joy and comfort.
For those seeking cuddly companionship, Reggie and Ronnie, our adorable guinea pigs, are always ready to share cuddles and gentle brushing. Feel the warmth and love as you connect with these furry friends.
Not just limited to small animals, we also introduce you to our beloved horse Nikita. Nikita will appreciate treats and enthusiastic pats!
Apart from the sheer pleasure of being around animals, cow cuddling has been known to have significant benefits for our own well-being. The elevated body temperature of cows can naturally lower our heart rate, inducing a soothing and calming effect. Additionally, this interaction stimulates the release of oxytocin, the hormone responsible for feelings of happiness and love.
But the fun doesn't stop there! We offer a range of craft activities to enhance your experience. You can try your hand at planting seedlings or even learn the art of making a dream catcher. Let your creativity flow as you engage in these hands-on activities.
Throughout the experience, you will be provided with all the necessary materials and guidance. Our team will ensure your comfort and safety during the activities, making sure you have an unforgettable and worry-free time.
Join this wonderful experience, where you can connect with animals, immerse yourself in nature, and engage in creative pursuits. As a memento, you will also have the opportunity to take home what you have made.
Note: This program is approved for NDIS participants and their carers/ support workers.

This was honestly a premium day for us, we got to help out with the bigger cows, cuddle and feed the babies and the guinea pigs. We opted not to do the craft activity, because we just wanted to hang with the cows but from what we could see she has an array of different crafts and supplies available. We will be back to get our fill of cow hugs and love again, thanks for the best day.

We got to bottle feed the 10 week old calves which was super cute and Sam answered any questions we had. It was a very overall comfortable experience and I would recommend it to any cow fan.
  • 5/5 from Claire Fogarty, attended Sep 2024: We had a wonderful morning with the cows, Guinea pigs and horse. Sam was a wonderful host and answered all our silly questions about the animals. The cows were so cute and gentle and the children all had smiles on their faces feeding them and rubbing/cuddling them. The Guinea pigs were also a huge hit. My girl loved the opportunity to do some craft, and my boy loved the home made brownie tum! Thank you Sam and all your animals for a wonderful morning.
  • 5/5 from Terry-Ann Tunks, attended Sep 2024: Such a great morning out i think i had just as much fun as the kids.
  • 5/5 from Isabella Smith, attended Sep 2024: We absolutely loved our visit! The cows were so gorgeous and so were the guneia pigs.

  • 5/5 from Janette Zlamal, attended Sep 2024: It was such a lovely way to spend a couple of hours! Kids didn’t want to leave! I also love that the cost of this experience supports someone who takes in and cares for rescue animals.
  • 5/5 from Samantha Tinker, attended Sep 2024: My daughter and her friends had a great afternoon with the calves. So much cuddling they didn't want to do any craft. Thanks to Sam for an amazing time.
  • 5/5 from Robert Lowe, attended Sep 2024: We had a lovely time with the beautiful cows, thanks sam, we enjoyed our visit
  • 4/5 from Samantha O’Donnell, attended Sep 2024: Kids absolutely loved it today! They got to feed the calves milk, brush them and give them pats. Had a snuggle with the adorable and super friendly Guinea pigs and did some painting with everything supplied for. Overall great experience, Sam the host was so kind and helpful. Only reason I give a 4 star as we thought it was a little on the more expensive side as it was just 2 adults a 2.5 year old and 3.5 year old. Price would be more suitable for a family of 5 with older kids so that was the only down fall, if the price was more affordable we would do it again.
