📚HOMESCHOOLERS DAY!!! 🎒

We've noticed there are a lot of homeschooling families in Christchurch and as we are an educational farm park, we thought it'd be a cool idea to have a Homeschoolers day, where all children go for free.
So save the date:
Monday 25th August! One day only!! 🎒
We'll be open from 10-3pm

So, take this opportunity to come out to visit us here at Arion Farm Park this Monday

Adult entry and other costs remain as usual 🐴

We look forward to seeing you all then 🦙
