If you want to combine a day trip with children's play, Farm Duckling is the ultimate destination for children to play in a natural environment and for adults to have a pleasant day. In Karytaina of Arcadia in a lush green environment with plane and almond trees, you will find this oasis of joy and play, with everything children and parents need to be busy all day: playground, animals, ponds, easy supervision, a cafeteria and a tavern.

The treehouse

The games that children will spend the most time on are the treehouse and the cable car, there are also swings, seesaws, balance toys and a cable car for very young children. There is enough space for them to play whatever else they want.

Parents sit at the wooden tables in the playground so they can easily supervise their children under the shade of the trees and parasols. Water, coffee and soft drinks are available from the cafeteria.

The cute animals will delight children. The herd of deer will pique their interest as they can feed and pet them. In addition to deer, you will also see ostriches, donkeys, pheasants, partridges and turkeys.
