GRIFTSTEEDE You can stroke animals in the city too: Griftsteede petting farm is in the middle of Grift park, within walking distance of the city centre. You won’t get bored here: they have animals of all sizes (from cows to bees), and plenty of places to play - both in and out of doors. And there’s a creative Kids’ Club for 6 to 12-year-olds every Wednesday afternoon. > Tuesday to Sunday, Van Swindenstraat 129 utrechtnatuurlijk.nl/locaties/ griftsteede

INQUISITIVE PEACOCKS
KOPPELSTEEDE
On the edge of the Lunetten district, to the south of Utrecht, you’ll find this urban farm. They have a natural playground, a ditch for fishing, an orchard full of fruit trees, a barefoot path and, of course, lots of animals: from cute rabbits and inquisitive peacocks to little lambs and a donkey. The coffee and cakes served in the KookKunst & Koffie espresso bar is a real bonus. > Tuesday to Sunday, Koppeldijk 115 utrechtnatuurlijk.nl/locaties/koppelsteede
