About Lee Valley Animal Adventure Park
Lee Valley Park Farms is home to all those classic family favourites, with fantastic beasts, Alpine adventures and a few prehistoric discoveries thrown in for good measure.
Visit three creature zones, like the land of exotic animals where bearded dragons roam. Then take part in a hawk walk or trek down to The Farmyard where little animal lovers can feed pigs, goats or try and lure a tortoise with a tasty leaf. Cute creatures and kids? Just think of the pictures!
Kick things up a gear in the adventure play zones where you can swing, slide and swoop your way through the Bundle Barn, or fly down the hillside on a toboggan built for two. A ride on Tex the Tractor might just then be the perfect way to cool off while making your way over to the Dino Dig & Splash: an adventurers’ essential.
- Three animal areas, from farmyard to far away
- Adventure play zones, including the Bundle Barm
- Don’t miss: Dino Dig & Splash
A family day out that everyone will love!
Lee Valley Animal Adventure Park is the perfect day out for kids from London, Hertfordshire and Essex.
So many adorable animals to see
Visit the marvellous meerkats and wonderful wallabies! Wander along a winding Wallaby Walkthrough, to get up close to the adorable animals and take a peek through the viewing windows into their amazing enclosures.
As fun as it is educational, kids will love meeting and learning about some fabulous furry friends. They can also check out exotic critters and unearth fascinating facts about where they come from.
So many events throughout the year.
Families will love exploring the new brand-new crazy golf and adventure play areas – not forgetting the other amazing activities on offer, too! Kids can bounce around on the giant inflatable pillow, get dizzy on the fairground rides, and (of course) meet the friendly farmyard animals.
Enjoy Lee Valley’s award-winning events this year, like Dino Day Out, KidsFest summer festival, Superheroes & Princesses, Halloween Festival and many more.
