Petrides Farm Park

Petrides Farm Park is a family destination in Marki, just outside Nicosia, where nature, play and animals come together for a full day out. Kids can meet friendly farm animals — donkeys, horses, ostriches, geese, goats and more — while roaming huge outdoor playgrounds with plenty of space to run safely. Visitors praise the clean, well-organised grounds, the welcoming staff and the relaxed setting among olive trees and greenery.

On site there's a restaurant and bar plus a cafeteria for snacks and drinks, and a spacious high-ceiling indoor area that hosts children's birthday parties and private events for large groups. The farm also sells its own produce, such as olive oil and free-range eggs. There is ample parking, and entrance is a small per-person fee.

The venue is open weekends and public holidays (Saturday and Sunday afternoons). Note the final approach includes a short dirt road. Whether you're planning a birthday celebration or a laid-back family afternoon in nature, Petrides Farm Park offers something for children and parents alike.
