Must See
Sheep Grazing and Herding - watch flocks of goat and sheep coming out from their pens to graze and then herding back to their pens after finish grazing. Grazing time is scheduled at 10am, 1pm and 4pm everyday. It is advised to confirm again with the reception about the grazing and herding schedule.
Sunset Viewing - enjoy amazing sunset view over the vast green plain. Best spot to view sunset in my opinion is the Beer Garden/ Beer Area. If you are lucky, you might spot hornbill flying by :).
Must Do
Visit the sheep pen whereby you can feed baby goats with dry grass. Each pack of dry grass costs RM3. Here, you get to pet and hold a baby goat too if you would like to.
Feed baby goats with bottled milk in a separate outdoor pen. Each bottle of milk costs RM2. You might get to feed free milk if you were there around 5pm when the counter selling was about to close because they normally won't keep the balance of unsold milk and will just feed all of them to the baby goats.
Feed ostrich at Ostrich Park. Ostrich feed costs RM3 each.
Light a Good Fortune Lantern or "Kong Ming Deng" and fly it off at night.
Make a wish and throw it up onto the Wishing Tree in Mushroom Farm.
Sheep Challenge - try to catch the sheep in 3 minutes and win yourself a secret present.
Must Eat
Yummy mushroom snacks and grilled mushroom satay from Mushroom Farm restaurant. The restaurant also serves vegetarian food.
For those who love lamb and mutton, there are a variety of lamb/mutton dishes served at the restaurant next to the reception. Fresh goat milk and ice cream are sold too.
Must Buy Souvenirs
Passion fruit pickles, passion fruit juice and passion fruit jam sold at the farm mart or souvenir shop.
Mushroom sold at Mushroom Farm.

We were told that sometimes fireflies can be spotted at Mushroom Farm at night. We didn't go because it was too dark there.
