Our favorite farm in the Zug area
We moved to Steinhausen in 2018 and since then I've seen a lot of beautiful, sweet, cute and interesting places in the canton of Zug, but when I think about which place my twin boys and I like the most, it's this farm!
About 10-15 minutes from Zug, you'll find this beautiful farm that's open year-round. Upon arrival, you'll find ample parking at two different farm entrances, and a bonus point, the parking is always free and always open!
The first thing we noticed when we came were the cows and horses. My boys love most animals, but they just adore cows and horses, which are in abundance here, so that was our first stop. The animals are generally clean and very friendly, and petting is, as they write on their website, not only allowed, but encouraged! They also have chickens that roam freely*, dogs, donkeys, goats and various poultry like ducks, geese, pigeons, peacocks, even some species that I don't even know the real names of
* Eggs can be bought in the little shop at the back (farm shop on site)
Playgrounds
This is why you come here in the first place if you have kids! That and the animals, of course! There are at least three playgrounds, so you can easily spend a whole day going from one to the other and so on. The main playground is in the middle, in front of the cafe. There are chairs and tables where you can sit and have something to eat or drink while the kids play. The huge sandpit has all the equipment, toys and a water source the kids need to have a great sand experience. We spent many hot summer days here, and a super useful tip is to bring spare clothes, because whether they're little or big, the kids WILL get wet (and this goes for slightly cooler days too; the kids just seem to always need extra clothes somehow)!
