Animal Experiences

Trying to find a gift for the animal enthusiast in your life? Or maybe you just want to give a gift that is a little bit different.

We offer a range of experiences at the farm and wildlife park where you can get up close and personal to some of our charismatic animals.

A truly memorable experience for all involved.

  • Spending some time in the enclosure with the animals
  • Feeding the animals
  • Providing some enrichment for them
  • Grooming or bathing the animals

Please note that some experiences aren’t suitable for those in a wheelchair. Please email [email protected] if you have any questions.
