10 Best Petting Farms in Singapore

Singapore's farming corner may be small, but its farms in Singapore still make a brilliant, low-cost family day out. This guide gathers currently-open petting and animal farms, most clustered around Kranji, Lim Chu Kang and Sungei Tengah, from goat and dairy farms to koi, crocodile, bee and turtle attractions. Several older farms have closed as land leases ended, so every place here was checked against its own website or official listing.

Hay Dairies is a working goat farm in the Kranji countryside that describes itself as Singapore's only goat farm, with a herd it says numbers more than 800 animals. Families can watch the early-morning milking, feed the goats with hay bought at the farm, and pick up its fresh bottled goat's milk. Entry is free, and the farm says it welcomes walk-in visits as well as booked educational tours for larger groups.
