Kids love AppleCast Farm because it’s bursting with excitement, discovery, and hands-on fun. They can meet and feed friendly animals, giggle at the playful meerkats, and be amazed by the birds of prey. Our cheeky skunk always sparks curiosity, while petting times during half terms let little ones get even closer to their favourite animals. 🐐🦉
After making new furry and feathery friends, children can run, climb, and explore in the adventure play area before finishing the day with a tasty treat from the café.
At AppleCast Farm, every visit is an opportunity to laugh, learn, and create memories that last long after you’ve gone home. 💚
Animals, adventure, and events all year round! From Young Farmers clubs and unique meerkat, skunk, and bird of prey encounters, to summer festivals, spooky Halloween fun, and a magical Christmas Winter Wonderland—there’s always something happening at AppleCast Farm.
