Walby Farm Park
Enjoy a family day out at Walby Farm Park, only 15 minutes drive from Hidden River Cabins its and excellent place to take the kids. There is an indoor soft play if the weather is a little chilly and on a warmer day there is an outdoor play park with a large sand pit, trampolines, tractors, farm animals and our favourite goat racing at certain times of the year. Its definitely worth a full day there if you have children so go early and enjoy a fun filled day.
