Mudgee Honey Haven

The Mudgee Honey Haven is one of Mudgee's premier tourist attractions with a range of experiences for the whole family. With the widest selection of honeys available you can taste trial each variety of honey before you decide on your favourites. Even the kids get to have a good time with a game of putt putt on our new 18 hole course with beeboxes painted by local primary schools. They'll also love watching the bees hard at work through a special glass window which shows a cross section of a real working bee hive. There's a wide selection of gifts, crafts and pottery and local Mudgee produce for which the region is well known. If wine tasting is more your style, sample some of our honey wines and liqueurs. And if that's not enough, why not enjoy a cuppa, coffee or light meal at the adjoining Honey Haven Cafe - the food's fresh and home baked. The first stop for the discerning tourist, the Mudgee Honey Haven has it all.

Orange Adventure Playground

Reviewed By KateGareth

We visited this fabulous playground with 5 children aged between 6-12 years old. Everyone LOVED it. Lots of swings, slides and places for imagination plus a scooter track too! We spent a few hours here and this kids still weren’t ready to leave. There are lovely places to have a picnic too with picnic tables. It’s right next door to the Botanical Gardens which we enjoyed a walk through to get to the playground ( even though it can be accessed via car with a car park next to it )

Tamworth Marsupial Park

The Marsupial Park is a native animal experience unlike any other in NSW, the 14-hectare park has free entry. Children can get close to kangaroos, wallabies, cockatoos and emus, spot the species in the free-flight aviary and hand feed the Indian peacocks. Within the Marsupial Park is the community-built Adventure Playground which has two distinct areas: one for under-5s and another for over-5s. It encourages children to use their fine and gross motor-skills – and of course, their imagination. There are barbecue facilities and bathrooms.

This free attraction is the BEST attraction in town if you have young kids. The park inside is fun and well maintained, the animals are great and interactive. It’s all run by volunteers (make sure you help out in the little red box on the way out) and a lot of the animals are rescued. Whilst you see more animals with damaged wings or singe legs the character of these cheeky residents shine through. Go and give it a go, I promise you will not be disappointed.

Lovely area for families and friends to have some outdoor time close to the town. The park has a water way with ducks, which amuse adults and children alike. There are undercover areas - some have bbq's, and play areas for children, plus amenities. What more could you want for a relaxing time. There is even a gazebo where wedding ceromonies are often performed (weddings are also just in the park not in the gazebo)

Zippity Doo is a kid’s playhouse where you just let your kids entertain themselves while you can have time by yourself or with friends, eating and relaxing with a hot coffee in our cafe. Let’s face it, kids need serious stimulation and if they don’t have things to play with to keep them distracted, things can spiral out of control.

Rainy day time out or just any time, kids have a great time, good food at reasonable prices and staff very friendly and helpful. Going to have birthday party there, great deal and no worries about weather or kids getting bored. Fantastic and will go regularly
