Alpaca Experiences for Families & Children
Get up close to our friendly alpaca herd with a fun-filled countryside experience perfect for children, families and animal lovers of all ages!
Our award winning alpaca experiences give guests the chance to meet and walk our beautiful alpacas while learning all about their quirky personalities. From family alpaca walks to unforgettable alpaca birthday parties, it’s a unique experience packed with fresh air, fluffy faces and plenty of photo opportunities.
Children are very welcome to join our alpaca walks and experiences. For the safety and wellbeing of both guests and animals, children under 10 are welcome but cannot lead an alpaca independently. They are welcome to walk alongside an alpaca, but an accompanying adult must also hold the lead rope at all times.
Whether you’re planning a family adventure, celebrating a birthday or simply looking for something a little different, our alpaca experiences offer a relaxed, hands-on activity that children absolutely love.
Suitable for families, groups and curious animal enthusiasts - come and make some unforgettable alpaca memories!
