a day trip to our unique children’s farm

a must-do for families looking for the perfect Mallorca tour

Our children’s farm on Mallorca opened its gates in 2020. We have to admit that we were almost a little surprised, but all the more delighted to see with what great enthusiasm visitors have embraced our concept, which is unique on the island. Our idea for Fresopolis was nurtured by our own love for animals and passion for nature. We created this place under the motto “Learn. Play. Grow”. Offering strawberry fields for self-picking, an animal farm with over 200 livestock and exciting, interactive workshops for children and adults, we have created a place for tourists and residents alike to experience nature in a fun and pleasurable way. Visit our family farm and enjoy a unique day full of special moments at Fresopolis!

Mallorca and its top activities for families

our children’s farm is a simple alternative for a beach day

A day at our family farm Fresopolis on Mallorca is one of the most pleasurable tours for families on the island and far from being a day like any other! Here we enjoy playing, discovering, laughing, harvesting, picking strawberries and petting animals. We are free to dream and enjoy ourselves. You can relax with a clear conscience, as to spend a day like this with the family in the open air is just as beneficial for adults as it is for children. That’s how a day at Fresopolis has a number of positive effects on every single member of the family, whether young or old.

a unique option in Mallorca excursions

Fresopolis is an option with a unique farm concept for families

Learning something through play is the best way to promote our children’s development. This has been knowingly proven by professional educators and psychologists. Isn’t that very welcome news for children? And it’s more: Scientists have found out in a long-term study that contact with animals has a positive effect on a kid’s mental and physical health. Our concept is based on these splendid facts. We combined them with our own childhood experiences and the passion for nature, creating a place that our visitors of all ages will remember with a smile on their face. Here, our little ones enjoy being as free as a child should be while interacting and gathering positive experiences learning from nature. In the meantime, our adult guests recall positive childhood memories. Whether on holiday in Mallorca or as a simple break from everyday life – a visit to our farm is a beautiful experience for all family members.

Animals are stress relievers. Stroking an animal lowers the blood pressure and also calms the pulse. Even the most fidgety kid can learn to relax and experience the advantages of shifting down when dealing with animals. If you stroke slowly and carefully, the animal will respond positively and become your friend. This is a good possibility to exercise patience and a valuable lesson for life.
Cuddles strengthen the immune system and lift the general mood. Endorphins are released when we cuddle or pet animals. Another fact: Kids that grow up in close contact with animals tend to have a stronger immune system and are less prone to allergies or intolerances. Children who grow up in the city sometimes lack this important training of the body’s natural defenses.
Animals are comforters of the soul. Close contact with animals not only demonstrably promotes health, but also helps to overcome loneliness. Due to a more and more digitized world, parents often have to actively seek for a social environment in which the kid learns to channel and express feelings. Interacting with our animals can help them to do this. Animals offer our little ones the opportunity to open up to them. And they accept the child for who it is.
Animals can strengthen self-confidence. In a world in which performance is becoming more and more important, it is easy to lose oneself and to get the impression of losing control. If you can’t follow the rhythm, it often leads to self-doubt, which might accompany our children later on throughout their lives. Animals are grateful for interaction. They don’t judge you by your academic degree or social status.
The farm teaches us to slow down. Watching our farm animals chewing peacefully and moving relaxed in the open air has a decelerating effect. Out in nature, it’s the animals and plants that set the rhythm and show us in a friendly way how well things can work if we act at a calm and mindful pace. We can learn a lot from this natural rhythm when we apply it to our city life.
Farm life and animal interaction teaches children to have consideration and empathy. Animals in our care depend on us to provide them with more than just food. They need us and have their own needs, just like any human being. Sensing this reminds us how important it is to show consideration for others in a society. Animals kindly ask us to understand their sensations, emotions and behaviours, and to use our capacity for empathy to get on well with them.

Our workshop "pony shower"

learn to wash a pony in our fun pony workshop

Would you like to ride a horse skillfully along the beach one day? Then prepare yourself for that now in our special workshop for pony lovers. Before you get on the back of a pony or a big horse, it’s important to get to know each other. Our summer workshop “Pony shower” is a pleasurable opportunity to do this. Here you will learn how to make friends with your pony in just a few steps:

Prepare your cleaning tools: You’ll need a water hose, mane comb, coat brush, hoof scraper, rubber brush, shampoo, fly spray and a bucket.

Begin to apply water to the pony: Always start with the legs, this way the pony calms down and understands that you are going to shower it now.

Scrape the dirt from the hoofs: Your pony’s hooves should always be free of dirt. A pony does not feel comfortable if it feels dirt under its hooves.

Next, soap the pony! Avoid the sensitive areas and stick to the legs, neck and body. You can use your hands or a brush to work up a soap lather.

Rinse out the soap: Now rinse the soap out of the pony’s coat. You do this very simply with water and by brushing the soap out of the pony’s coat with your hand.

Brush your pony now! Always brush in the same direction and remove loose hairs from the body. Comb out any stray hair so the mane is clean too.

By the way: the winter edition of our workshop “pony shower” is our workshop “pony care”: learn all about how to feed, groom and care for a pony!
