Activities for visitors to Crystal Palace Park Farm
Meet the farm animals
You can enjoy a range of activities and interactive experiences. Make new fluffy friends in the petting area where children can handle small animals such as rabbits and guinea pigs. Then, in the small yard and paddock there are also classic farm animals such as pigs, alpacas, goats and Shetland Ponies. We recommend you don't miss a visit to the reptile room-always a favourite with children.
Seasonal events
Throughout the year, the farm hosts a variety of special events and activities, from seasonal festivals to guided tours and educational visits. It also provides extracurricular activities as part of school visits teaching local children about rural life and animal care.
Why we recommend Crystal Palace Farm for
families
We think Crystal Palace Farm is ideal for young children. As it's only small this is a great way to introduce children to farm parks without it being overwhelming, which some larger attractions might be at first.
