What animals will I get to work with?
You will get the opportunity to work with the farm animals.  The session may be altered on any given day due to animal welfare or health issues, but Woodside will ensure that if this is the case then the activity will be replaced with another similar task.

Do I get to go in with the animals?
You will get to go in with some animals, where appropriate. You will still get a behind-the-scenes experience with the animals that you don’t get direct contact with.

What sort of activities will I be expected to do?
Activities vary from preparing feeds, cleaning enclosures and meeting the animals.

What if I don't want to do one of the specific tasks?
No-one will be forced to do anything they do not wish to, although most find that taking part in the full range of activities is the best way to get the most from the experience.

Will there be someone qualified with me?
