The farm is clean and tidy, the air filled with the scent of green grass, and adorable animal decorations and themed sculptures are everywhere, perfect for Instagramming. Light-colored or casual clothing is recommended, as it not only complements the environment but also makes it easier for you to interact with the animals.
One of Swiss Sheep Farm's signature activities is feeding the sheep. There's a hay stand at the entrance, where you can buy a large handful of hay for a small fee. Once the sheep notice you're holding hay, they'll immediately gather around, staring at you with their wide eyes – a scene both hilarious and comforting.

Please be careful when feeding the sheep. Sheep are stronger than you might think, so don't push your fingers too far in to avoid being bitten. Parents with children are advised to demonstrate first, letting them feed with their palms for safer feeding. Besides sheep, the farm also offers ponies, rabbits, and donkeys, each with its own feeding area, ensuring children have a blast.
For a more enjoyable farm experience, try horseback riding or a pony cart. The farm has a dedicated equestrian area where visitors can experience horseback riding around the farm for a small fee. Staff will lead the horses, ensuring safety. A pony-drawn carriage is a great option for children, with the horses slowly pulling the carriages forward, giving the impression of a bucolic adventure.
The horseback riding experience is not only fun but also creates atmospheric photos. It's recommended to wear a hat and comfortable shoes for easy access on and off the horses.
Swiss Sheep Farm features scheduled sheep and sheepdog shows daily. Show times are usually posted at the entrance or on a sign. During the shows, sheepdogs herd the sheep under the guidance of their trainers, creating a truly entertaining experience. In addition to the sheep shows, there are also street-style clown performances and folk dances, offering visitors even more interactive fun.
It's recommended to confirm show times in advance and plan your route accordingly to avoid missing the exciting performances. There are usually shaded seating available in the show area, but on holidays, it's recommended to arrive early to secure a spot.
If you're tired from playing, why not stop by the small café on the farm? They offer freshly made pizzas, sandwiches, milk tea, coffee, and the farm's signature goat milk ice cream and drinks, which are rich and delicious. The prices are affordable and the portions are generous, making it a great place for families to take a break before continuing their adventures.
There's also a souvenir shop at the farm exit, where you can buy goat milk soap, woolen dolls, farm goods, and other small gifts—perfect souvenirs or gifts for friends.
