Kids will love exploring the whimsical play spaces at Bray Farm Park in Griffin.

The park sits beside the Osprey House Environmental Centre, where budding nature lovers can learn about local wildlife.

If a farm stay sounds like bliss, Fig Tree Farm is calling. Spend the weekend feeding miniature goats, cows and ducks, collecting eggs, roasting marshmallows over the fire and soaking in outdoor baths under a sky full of stars.
