Folly Farm

If you are looking for a fun and educational family day out in Wales then there is nowhere better than Folly Farm! With a zoo, farm, fairground and indoor and outdoor adventure play you'll leave understanding why it has twice been voted 'Best Family Day Out in Pembrokeshire and Wales'.

Reviewed By Pinkpuma36 - Holbeach, United Kingdom

As far as days out with kids in the UK go this is one of the best. There were giraffes, zebras, penguins and camels that you could get up close to, and Hugo the lion is stunning. He even gave us our money’s worth when he fancied getting it on with the lioness :-D There is a petting farm indoors and a vintage funfair also indoors with many rides for all ages (great if the weather is poor) There are a few rides outside too including a twister and big wheel and also some go carts. We were there from opening to closing and were never bored once. There’s a big pirate ship to play in with an outdoor play area too. My son loved the huge sand area with the sit on diggers too. There really is so much to do and everything looked clean and well maintained. Even paying for the rides (token system) on top of the entry fee, I’d still say it was well worth the money considering what you get for your money. It was less than a third of the price we paid to get in to Legoland and value for money can’t be compared. We did so much more at Folly Farm as you don’t spend the whole day in a queue (even in the summer holidays) and it never felt overcrowded as it’s so spaced out, so a far more enjoyable fun day out. Can’t fault it.

Merthyr Farm Camping

Reviewed By rackers82 - Banbury, United Kingdom

This is an absolute gem of a campsite. Stunningly beautiful views that incorporate mountains, the estuary and the sea. Incredibly peaceful in the evening. Lizzie and Bryn were really helpful when booking, advice for travel and arrival and getting set up. Everything was well set up for social distancing and sanitation. Plenty of sanitiser everywhere and a range of options from using your own facilities to reserved bathrooms. We absolutely loved our stay here and would definitely recommend Merthyr Farm.

Manorafon Farm Park

Oodles of fun for all the family…….Experience the thrill of the sheep race, get up close to reptiles and creepy crawlies, cuddle the rabbits, feed the goats and greet the alpacas. Or join us as we welcome an array of new baby animals throughout the year - from adorable lambs to cheeky kids, fluffy chicks and cute piglets. Then discover the indoor play barn, the exciting off-road pedal go-karts and the giant sand pit. Get into character in Tiny Town, explore the Clamber Castle or let off steam on the bouncy pillows before stopping off at the Greedy Goat Snack Hut to refuel. There’s plenty to see and even more to do. Nestled in the picturesque parkland of Gwrych Castle, close to the stunning North Wales coastline and conveniently just off the A55. Visit Manorafon Farm for a memorable and fun-packed family day out.

Pembrokeshire Llamas

Advanced booking is required - email us now to reserve your llama! Pembrokeshire Llamas trekking centre provides guided llama walks and trekking expeditions throughout the year. Lead one of our haltered llamas on a guided tour through the valley of Rhydwilym.

Reviewed By lanieb787

Our visit to the Pembrokeshire llamas was absolutely fantastic and I just wish I lived closer to be able to enjoy this activity more regularly. After a welcome from our wonderful host Matt and guidance on how to handle your llama you are lead off for a beautiful walk in the wooded valley. There is something unique to leading your own llama. They are delightful with their own individual personalities. I had the pleasure of walking with Max, who with his presence I did not notice any elevated parts of the walk that I normally dislike. My partner was with Merlin who he really enjoyed the trek with. You will come away with a lasting memory, feeling stress free, happy and wanting to go again. Full advise is given re clothing and foot wear prior to your visit.

Amazing Alpacas

Reviewed By fatboyslim2018 - Rhondda Cynon Taf, United Kingdom

This was our second visit to see the Alpacas. Their owner Peter gave us an hour and a half on a beautiful sunny day showing us around the various Alpaca enclosures. Having been there before we were able ask Peter a lot more information about these beautiful animals having read up on them since our last visit. We enjoyed feeding them and would recommend to anyone wanting to get up close and learn about the Alpacas to contact Peter and arrange a visit. It is an ideal day out for all the family, and should you book your visit and the weather isn't very good on the day you booked, Peter will re-arrange another suitable day for you to visit.Contact Peter on 01291 650 655 .

From the minute we arrived at Cute Farm the sun was shining and the hospitality was incredible. Lisa, Miles, George & Amanda we’re by our sides throughout the day happily sharing the wealth of knowledge they have of all their animals, their passion is truly infectious!! Our boys 4 & 7 adored the Valais and loved their alpaca trekking experience, but it was the miniature donkey’s that stole the show for us, we are all now officially obsessed. In the words of a 7yr old it was a day in which his “best dreams came true”. Thank you all once again for such a warm welcome, we’ll definitely be back ????

We came here with our granddaughter wed. It brought back wonderful memories for us as we used to bring our children when they were young. We had a lovely few hours and we were lucky as the sun was shining (granddaughters fave was the chickens so we had to get her one from the gift shop). Sadly we were more tired than our GD ???? but she had a ball. We will come with a picnic next time ????

Long day trip from Llandudno, and easy to find. Nice cafe and very good welcome/service. Enjoyable walk around the farm trail and then the kites!! Absolutely fantastic spectacle, whether you are a twitcher or not!! Beautiful birds, and, as they say, must have been 300 plus there as well as the odd buzzard. Excellent.

Having break in Angelsey and looked for something to entertain our 2 year old grandson. Found reviews of Foel Farm on tripadvisor and thought we would give it a go. It was a great decision the Farm was stocked with well cared for animals, we could feed them and especially enjoyed the rabbit barn. Tractor and quad trailer rides were also excellent. The staff were great and the CoVid regs were very well implemented. There were loads of wash stations with low level sinks for toddlers. If it wasn’t 3 hours away from home we would be regulars. Had lunch in cafe that was nice too.....really enjoyed thanks Foel Farm
