About Lancaster Park & Animal Farm
There are so many animals to visit at Lancaster Park and Animal Farm, a family run children’s petting farm in Chadderton, near Oldham.
Animals include sheep, horses, rabbits, chickens, mice and ducks to name a few. Families can meet, touch and feed the animals even the babies as and when they arrive throughout the year!
In the farm grounds you can ride the Caterpillar – a single barrel cart pulled along by a quad bike, have a race on the Rooster Rally - a hale bale lined race-track with battery powered quad karts, or use the mini JCB digger look for buried treasure on Digger Island.
A great value day out for the whole family!
