Teaching children to respect animals

Published by Secret Family Farm

Contact with animals is a wonderful learning experience — as long as a few simple rules are followed.

At the farm, the animals roam free and can always withdraw. That's the first lesson to pass on to children: an animal that walks away is not to be chased, carried or forced.

Only the food provided in the basket or approved by the team is given, zones and instructions are respected, children are accompanied, and hands are washed after contact. Feedings and workshops recall these rules before starting.

Our animal welfare charter details all our commitments: respected rest rhythms, permanent access to water, clean shaded spaces, health monitoring and supervised interactions.

Your questions, answered

The questions we hear most often — answered openly, so you can plan your visit with peace of mind.

Families: parents and children spend the day at the farm, between animal encounters, supervised creative workshops and lunch on site.
Admission is 80 DH per adult and 50 DH per child aged 2 to 11; under-2s enter free. It includes the free-roaming visit and the food basket to feed the animals. La Secret Beach guests enjoy a preferential rate: 50 DH per adult and 30 DH per child. Booking is done online in a few steps; for a same-day visit, confirmation happens on WhatsApp.
The farm is open every day from 10am to 6pm. In summer, we recommend the visit and workshops in the morning from 10am, before the heat — or in the late afternoon.
At the entrance, each child receives a food basket to go and meet the rabbits, hens, baby goats, ducks, tortoises and deer — and, subject to availability, bottle-feed the kid goat, the calf or the baby camel. Always gently and under supervision, following our animal welfare charter: respected rest cycles, shaded and clean spaces, supervised interactions. "They live here. We are their guests."
Yes, supervised creative workshops are booked à la carte, on top of admission: pottery painting for ages 1 to 3 (50 DH), plaster moulding from age 4 (100 DH), ceramics from age 5 (150 DH), candle making from age 6 (200 DH), plus an introductory pony ride for little ones. Full details are on the Workshops page.
No — Secret Family Farm is a place of family discovery and sharing. Children explore, create and marvel, and parents enjoy it with them: the presence and attention of an accompanying adult are required throughout the visit. Supervised guidance by the team during workshops is available on request (from age 5, 150 DH per hour).
Yes: the farm restaurant serves fresh, generous family cooking — breakfasts, tajines, salads, wood-fired pizzas, crêpes, homemade juices and a children's menu — on the shaded terrace, à la carte, so you can stay on site without breaking up the day.
Yes — La Secret Beach is right next door. The combined day (farm in the morning, pool in the afternoon or the other way round) is chosen directly in the booking flow, at a preferential rate.
The farm's family card: free online sign-up with each child's first name and birthday, digital card with QR, visit history and loyalty progress in your member area.
Yes, free wifi is available throughout the domain.
