Our Arrival & First Impressions

A great big outdoor space, great to let your little ones explore

It was easy to find and had lots of parking space. Getting out of the car, we found different wooden shed like buildings, one for the entrance to the animals, another for dog grooming and another for the cafe/butchers. Prices were clear to see. This place is such a great find for younger children!

Activities Breakdown

Feeding the llamas and alpacas
Up close with our furry friends

We paid £3 for a bucket of food for the animals. Both boys had fun taking turns to feed the llamas, alpacas, sheep and goats.

Half way round, the boys enjoyed jumping on the bouncy pillows and play area.

  1. 1

    Feeding the animals

    We didn’t realise how interactive the animals were, they were so friendly and came over to feed. The boys loved this!
    Feeding time😊
  2. 2

    Being chased around the field by llamas

    The llamas and alpacas were positioned in the middle of the area and there was a walk way to allow you to walk around their pen. Seeing animals on each side. At first the boys found this very funny and enjoyed the up close interaction, but they are quite big and can put their heads between the fence to get closer to you

Food & Drink

We arrived at 1pm and the boys wanted to go and see the animals straight away. The cafe closes at 2:30 we didn’t get chance to try their food, even drinks were very limited.

Money-Saving Tip

Take a picnic. There are lots of benches dotted around and a nice sheltered area near the play area for eating and drinking.

Overall Verdict & Ratings

A Tried & Tested - Day Out With The Kids
Safety & Cleanliness4.0

There is one hand washing area in the main entrance where you pay for admission

Rides & Entertainment4.0

There are various talks throughout the day where you can meet the different animals.

Food & Drink3.0

I feel there should be options to get food and drinks when the cafe is shut, but seemed a little limited for us.

Queues & Crowds5.0

It wasn’t too busy at all. We had a nice time.

Fun & Delight5.0

The children moved their time here. They had lots of fun!

Value for Money4.0

Good value. It’s not somewhere you could spend the whole day, but seems reasonably priced for the experience you get

The Final Verdict:

It was great, a nice place to visit which is local. We look forward to visiting again.

Yellow Line
"Getting close to llamas is an adventure of its own — feeding them, earning their trust, sharing a few cuddles… and occasionally getting a face full of spit! 🦙😂❤️"
