Coffee printed with alpacas live in coffee printing machine is something fun to watch and then savour! How do we rate it : Its undoubtedly very huge farm / park with lot of things to see and do but unfortunately the maintenance is not very up to mark and some equipment’s are too dusty and old. Few things are done only when group visits are planned but despite of bit of downside its a must visit place at least once to enjoy being surrounded by lovely Alpacas and spending time seeing kids have fun while boating and playing amids huge playground surrounded by so much nature. Overall we rate it 7/10. Since its quite pricey and they should have kept the equipment’s more maintained.
It costs 200 HKD per person (Adult) and 150 HKD (3 to 11 years)
Tip: Its quite pricey but the costs include a welcome hamper (Puzzle, keychain, stamp redemption voucher, 3D model puzzle of alpaca), Pedal boat ride for 30 mins and everything else inside except feeding animals which costs extra 60 HKD. So overall it can be bit costly for family to visit but its definitely worth one time visit.
Under same management, the Cinderella farm and the Go green organic farm is created and ne can buy season ticket for all three farms for 598 HKD. Where to eat: Well there are lot of tables and chairs everywhere so its advisable to carry your own food. There is nothing much in the restaurant and its good enough just for drinks.
