Animals at King Country Bayside

The Animal Farm is a clear draw card and instant attraction for all kids. There is a fenced animal petting farm which opens at 9.30am and again at 3.30pm. Here kids can go inside for FREE and say hello to the resident goats, chooks and shetland ponies. For a small fee you can also purchase a bag of feed for the animals.

Play Area at King Country Bayside

For smaller kids, the covered colourful and fun playground is an absolute winner. With slides, netted tunnels, swings and a soft floor matting, this is the perfect spot for kids to while away the day while the adults can sip a coffee alongside them. Fully fenced, it also has little bikes the kids can race around on.

Rainforest Walk and Nursery at King Country Bayside

The very calm and peaceful rainforest walk along tropical pathways will be sure to encourage conversations about plant types, flowers, colours and size. This is a child-friendly walk with small, flat paths. There is a nursery selling a range of plants if inspired to buy something for home.

The Food at King Country Bayside

The cafe at King Country Bayside has an extensive breakfast and lunch menu as well as a separate kids menu. Kids can choose from a range of delights such as nuggets, a slider, fish and cheese fingers all served with chips and salad. Or, for a little extra they can have a platter of pies, sausage rolls and cheerios.

Breakfast options include all the favourites and then some. If you are super hungry there is a Big Brekkie or if after something light, there is Raisin Toast.

For lunch, select from a range of burgers like a BLT or perhaps a bowl of chips for something smaller. For the sweet tooth, a delicious selection of cakes is displayed in the fridge.

For the coffee lovers, King Country Bayside cafe has all the usual caffeine hits for coffee drinkers. For kids there are juices, babyccinos, and milkshakes. There is even an after school special.

What We Loved About King Country Bayside

As a coffee loving parent I adore any venue where I can sit and relax while I sip my hot coffee while the kids are happily entertained. This cafe has plenty to keep the whole family occupied, and the coffee is good too.

We always start with a drink and snack at the cafe, while the kids play. Once our bellies are full we then have a stroll around the rainforest walk and of course we can’t visit without spending time with the friendly animals.

Visiting King Country Bayside is a great place to spend an hour or two and tick all the boxes with young kids – food, play, nature and animals!
