🏝️ Little’s Hobby Hut: A hidden animal sanctuary and interactive fish farm where nature meets therapy.

✨ Vibe Check: Relaxing, educational, and perfect for facing your fears!

If you’re looking for something unique to do in Old Harbour, St. Catherine, let me put you on to a hidden gem — Little’s Hobby Hut Safari & Fish Farm.

This family-owned attraction is more than just a fish farm. It’s a relaxing, hands-on nature experience where you can interact with animals, learn something new, go fishing, and even cook your catch on-site. Whether you're planning a weekend outing with friends, a family day trip, or even a casual date, this spot delivers.

A Family-Owned Experience in Nature

Little’s Hobby Hut Safari & Fish Farm is known for its welcoming atmosphere and interactive experiences. The space is designed for visitors to spend the entire day outdoors — connecting with animals, fishing, relaxing, and enjoying good food.

One of the standout features of this location is the animal interaction experience. Visitors don’t just look at animals from a distance — you actually get to engage with them, learn about them, and understand how they are cared for.

The owners also share how some animals can be used in therapy settings, particularly for children with autism, highlighting the calming and therapeutic benefits of animal interaction.

It’s educational, relaxing, and surprisingly heartwarming.

Up Close with the Animals

If you’re even slightly nervous about birds or snakes — you’re not alone. But this might just be the place where you face that fear.

Visitors get the chance to:

• Hold and interact with friendly birds
• Touch and learn about snakes
• Play with adorable, soft bunnies
• See turtles and other animals on the property

Many guests leave saying they surprised themselves. Birds perch comfortably on shoulders, snakes aren’t as scary as expected, and the bunnies quickly become everyone’s favorite.

It’s a safe, supervised environment, making it ideal for kids and adults alike.

Fishing for Everyone (Beginner or Pro!)

Fishing is one of the main attractions at Little’s Hobby Hut — and the best part?

You don’t need to know how to fish.

If you're a beginner, the staff will teach you how to:

• Use live bait
• Use dough bait
• Cast your line properly

If you're experienced, you can grab their gear and spend hours enjoying the ponds at your own pace.

The fish can be a little sneaky (they sometimes steal the bait!), but that just adds to the fun. Eventually, with a little patience, you’ll land your catch.

Cook What You Catch

Here’s where it gets even better.

After fishing, you have the option to:

• Weigh your fish
• Purchase it per pound
• Take it home OR
• Have it cooked fresh on-site

You can choose how your fish is prepared:

• Fried
• Curried
• Steamed

There’s also a kitchen and bar on the property, so you can grab a cold drink or beer while you wait. If fish isn’t your thing, the menu also includes options like shrimp and chicken.

Small fish are sometimes used to feed the turtles on-site, which is another fun experience to watch.

Fresh fish, cooked your way, in the middle of nature — it doesn’t get much better than that.

Relax, Play & Spend the Day

Little’s Hobby Hut isn’t a rush-in, rush-out kind of place. It’s a spend-the-whole-day experience.

While waiting for food, visitors can:

• Explore more of the property
• Visit the animals again
• Relax by the ponds
• Enjoy the play area (great for kids — and adults who are young at heart!)

It’s the kind of environment where time slows down.
