Back to Animals

An area that has proved very popular with families is our Familiar Friends. In this area you will find donkeys, alpacas and llamas, PLUS our Colenso Village goat and sheep walkthrough, and our Wallaby Walkabout walkthrough. (Click on the walkthrough names to find out more)

We offer the chance to hand feed some of the animals yourself by purchasing special farm animal food.

We also have a number of animal model photo points, such as a wallaby pouch to pop out of and a turtle shell to climb into, so don’t forget to take that selfie!

We also have a number of musical stations and children’s small climbing apparatus throughout the area.
