Visit the Margaret River Chocolate Company , the Candy Cow or Millers Ice Cream in Cowaramup, The Margaret River Fudge Factory or the Margaret River Nougat Company - all of these places have tours and tastings.

9. Farm Life. Visit one of the local farms and pat the cute animals, feed the animals, learn how to milk cows and collect eggs. Fun for kids of all ages. Places such as Country Life Farm in Dunsborough, Sunflowers Animal Farm and Farmstay in Margaret River or the Wonky Windmill Farm in Yelverton are great places to visit.
