Fun on the Farm with the Whole Family
winter ACTIVITIES FOR ALL AGES
Running around, playing and jumping. This is what great freedom looks like for children. Every day brings new adventures.
Collect eggs for breakfast from the henhouse first thing in the morning. Pay the animals a visit in the barn. The farmer is happy for a few helping hands picking raspberries - you're welcome to snack on the sweet berries! Make jam, bake bread, lend the farmer a hand while working in the shed. In between, you can jump on the trampoline, and then the rabbits want to be cuddled ...
Enough Space to Play
Boundless Adventures
Take some time off with your loved ones, surrounded by cows and horses grazing leisurely on the pastures, cackling hens and cute kittens. This is the ideal place to take a deep breath and relax. Do you also think so? Then choose your favourite family farm in Austria! Plenty of family-friendly farms and certified farms for babies and kids are inviting you to spend your holiday. Your hosts are looking forward to welcoming you, at a reasonable price!
We can make one promise already: radiant smiles and children’s eyes beaming with joy are part of an unforgettable holiday on the farm with the family. They are part of the deal just like the crumbs on the apple pie.
Good Reasons for a Family Holiday on the Farm
1. Unforgettable Experiences for All Ages
The hosts on our family farms in Austria enchant their summer guests with their warm-hearted nature, creative ideas and authentic lifestyle. And you won’t miss out on the fun outside the farmyard.
Depending on the region, you can engage in lots of outdoor activities close-by: swim in the lake, hike on themed walks or explore the countryside on your bicycle. There’s always something going on during a family holiday in Austria. You can do whatever you feel like! The little guest farmers learn a lot about farm life, working in the fields and the production of locally grown food.
2. A family holiday in Austria, that’s fun adventures in an idyllic natural setting
Discover deer and rabbit tracks, smell the flowers by the wayside, walk on a fallen tree, dip your feet into a refreshing stream or build a dam. In the enchanting countryside surrounding the farms, nature comes up with lots of little and big adventures. Instead of marvelling at farm animals in a picture book, you can watch cows, horses, pigs, goats and chicken from close up during your family holiday in Austria. When the farmers are near, you can stroke and pet them to your heart’s content.
While the young ones explore the exciting aspects of farm life, their parents can take a break and unwind, spending some quality time together. Whether you’re cycling, hiking, walking or simply lounging in the grass: spending time with your favourite person is priceless.
3. A summer holiday on the farm broadens your horizon and is easy on the wallet
Disconnect from the demands of everyday life. A delightful holiday is about to start! That’s on the agenda this summer? Perfect! The hosts on Austria’s family farms are waiting for you. Do you feel cramped? Leave city life and your small apartment for a while. Moments of joy in the endless expanses will soothe your soul. Now it’s time to come to rest with plenty of space all around.
Kids can romp happily on the vast lands, while the parents lounge underneath the apple trees that spend some shade ... or under a solid sunshade. Care for a refreshment? Enjoy a glass of cold elderflower juice and a Krapfen that comes right from the frying pan, with a copious amount of apricot jam. Everything’s home-made, of course!
The bottom line: a time of pure joy and delight is awaiting you during your farm holidays in Austria - at a reasonable price, easy on the family wallet.
Usually, it’s hard to get our kids out of bed in the morning. But here, on the farm, they wake up at dawn and sneak out of the bedroom without making a sound. Independently! They don’t want to miss out on helping in the barn.
Fun Activities for All Ages
Are you ready for jolly adventures in the sunshine or splashy fun in picturesque natural lakes? That’s part of the programme during your family holiday on the farm. A lot of farms are located close to natural lakes, shimmering turquoise waters of drinking water quality. If you’re lucky, you might see a carp or a frog swimming in the lake.
Not only do you need to pack your swimwear. Hiking boots and cycling shorts will also come in handy during your family holiday in Austria. A large network of cycle paths is the basis for great fun on two wheels for parents and children alike. On a number of farms, you can sleep close to a cycle path. Do you prefer to leisurely pedal the plains or more demanding cycle routes? It’s a tough choice! When your legs need a break from cycling, there are a lot of themed walks that invite you for a stroll through the woods. Or are you in the mood for pitching in on the farm?
In fact, you only need to do one thing: choose your favourite farm and immerse yourself in a family paradise during your farm holidays in Austria!
Side by Side with the Farmers
Grooming the horses, milking the cows, trying to catch the hens or picking blackberries: farming involves various tasks. There are plenty of jolly activities that will make especially the young guests happy. The cow really goes “moo”. The bunnies are within your grasp and you can pet them instead of just watching them hop in a picture book or on the screen.
Fruit and vegetables taste especially good because you’ve harvested and prepared them yourself. You can help the farmer wash the carefully picked berries and fruit and make a pot of delectable jam. The next morning, at breakfast, you can taste it by adding a thick layer on the home-made rye bread: you take a hearty bite and go “mmh, that’s tasty!” That makes the farmers smile.
A family holiday in Austria can be wonderfully relaxing, is light on the budget and very informative. You can decide to what extent you can or want to lend the farmers a hand. Support your hosts and learn about the daily life of a farmer! In the future, you might want to spend more time on holiday in Austria - on farms that uphold values and traditions and that offer affordable holidays for families!
