The Barn Owl Cafe in Silvan will bring the kids joy!
They're worth scheduling this stop into a day trip in the Dandenongs! Firstly, the cafe is absolutely kid-friendly, with a spacious and fenced in yard where the kids can roam.
Since our visit - they've added chooks back to the family and have an outdoor sandpit for the kids to play in.
Their kid's menu was an absolute highlight for us, and the kids loved having a banana milkshake with their meal combo! They have options for babies, toddlers, and older kids. Think smashed, finger food, or meals.
You'll enjoy your meal too, with a substantial all-day menu, and great coffee! There are some tables inside, but we think the outside area is the winner. Either sit in their weatherproof covered pergola, or on one of their bench tables under a tall tree. The kids enjoyed collecting rocks and sticks during our stay! The service was absolutely friendly and fast too!
But wait, there's more! Seasonally, there is blueberry picking on location too! Silvan is known for wonderful DIY berry picking, so you can tick both of those options off at one location! The kids absolutely loved picking the blueberries. We also went past Chappies Berries down the road, to pick up some freshly picked raspberries and blackberries.
