Why We Think Woodside Animal Farm is a Must-Visit for Families
Animal Activities
At Woodside Animal Farm, children get the chance to interact closely with a range of animals. From cuddling guinea pigs to feeding goats, these hands-on experiences are not only fun but also educational.
Woodside Animal Farm offers a great opportunity for children to learn about different species, their habitats, and their care. From hands-on sessions and animal demonstrations, where you can pet, stroke and cuddle. To animal feeding - just purchase a bag of feed and let them have a munch.
At the farm you can meet cute baby ducklings and fluffy bunnies, but also exotic animals like giant lizards too!
Family-Friendly Activities
Looking for more fun-filled activity types? We think the mini funfair rides will be right up your street with the carousel and chair-o-plane.
You can also climb aboard and enjoy a tractor ride! It'll be a bumpy journey as you take a tour of Woodside Animal Park, but the trailer rides will be running whatever the weather.
Putt a hole-in-one and enjoy a round of crazy golf! With a fantastic mini-golf course, you and the kids can enjoy a bit of friendly competition and tee off!
Reach for the sky on the bouncing high jumping pillows!! You'll find 2 pillows, one for the little ones and another for those over 5. It's time to bo-bo-boing up and down as you soar high.
Wizz down our new Sledge Run and see who's the winner and you speed down. Not for the faint hearted!!
But that's not all! You can head inside to the Playbarn, where you'll find a soft play centre for tiny tots and little ones. It's heated too, so it'll always be toasty. Swing high, zoom down sliders and face fun obstacles!
If you like to zoom around, why not hop on a bike, trike or scooter? They have a wide range of them for all ages - so every kid can have a go!
Last but not least, there's the outdoor play area where the kiddies can spend hours exploring and having fun. From a woodland activity trail with a GIANT wooden pirate ship to basket swings, a cable runway and even a sand pit!!
There's so much fun to be had, your kids will only leave with the biggest smiles on their faces.
Poultry Centre
Did you know Woodside Animal Farm also has a poultry centre? You can buy a whole range of poultry there, from fertile eggs and day-old chicks to livestock (probably only best to buy if you also have farmland).
Farm Shop
But anyone can take home farm produce! From fresh eggs and handmade chutneys to sweet jams, organic juice, delicious cakes and bakes and all sorts of goodies.
Food & Drink
At the farm coffee shop, it's not just a wide range of gifts you can snap up, but also some grub.
Whether you're in the mood for hot meals or a tempting range of snacks.
