• No feeding the animals, so leave snacks in the bag; staff do take a bag of fresh-cut grass to hand out at feeding time
• Bikes and a playground on the yard by the canteen give younger kids something to do after the pens
• Coffee in the canteen for parents, with soft drinks for kids, so a short visit can stretch into a slow morning

Kinderboerderij De Werf is a small city farm on the edge of Watergraafsmeer, run by about forty volunteers and two part-time caretakers. Kids can see goats, ponies, rabbits, chickens and guinea pigs, then ride the farm's little bikes around the yard or play in the playground.

The canteen sells coffee and soft drinks. Visitors may not feed the animals, but staff gladly take a bag of fresh-cut grass.
