If you fancy a bit of outdoor play, you can bounce as high as you can on the giant jumping pillows, experience the thrill of flying around on the Twister Ride, get wet and wild in the Splash Zone or try your skills at archery.

Children can enjoy the magic of a real farm – new born lambs around for most of the year, and other baby farm animals, are on hand to feed and cuddle at Pets’ Corner.  Don’t forget to bring your camera to capture some magical moments and sheep selfies. All the resident animals in the animal barn, puppies, chicks, rabbits, lambs and miniature ponies, allow you to get up close and personal.

Gentle rides for toddlers and younger children include the Piggy Pull-a-Long, Tractor Safari, self-drive Tractor Track, Pony Rides and Vintage Pony and Swan Carousel.
