A great choice for everyone, this experience gives you the chance to meet and greet some of our friendly Farm residents. Our reindeer brothers welcome lots of attention, our foxes love to be hand-fed, Sly the barn owl loves to land on your arm (whilst wearing a glove of course) and many other animals are here waiting for you to meet them and give them a stoke or two.
Join one of our Rangers for a woodland safari to discover the wildlife that lives right under our noses! Then interact with some of the Farm residents, where you get to hand-feed our foxes, fly our eagle owl Margaret and meet lots of other resident animals. All of our visitors will love this experience from children to adults.
Meet Harry our harris hawk, Sly our barn owl, Margaret our eagle owl and lots of other amazing birds of prey. First you will learn about how we train these beautiful animals and then you’ll enjoy an explanation about the equipment we use. Finally, you will have the chance to fly the birds yourself (recommended for ages 8 years and upwards) to see them in action.
Settle down in our cosy hide for a sunset experience to see badgers and other nocturnal visitors in their natural habitat. Even if the animals don’t appear, you’ll see plenty of previous visits captured on our night vision Badger cam. Please note this experience requires you to be very quiet, so may not be suitable for very young children.
A classic seaside pastime, rock pooling is always fun but our Rangers add a new dimension to this activity. Learn about hermit crabs, starfish, blennies, sea anemones and sea hares and whatever else turns up on the day. You might even see a seal, a whale, a shark or catch a glimpse of a dolphin. You don’t even have to get wet!
Aimed at children and begins with a fantastic reading of the story of the ‘Gruffalo’. They will then have the opportunity to meet all the characters from this legendary book – they will hold a snake, cuddle a mouse, fly an owl and stroke a fox. They take a short walk into ‘Feadon Woods’ to find the real life homes of all the characters.
You'll meet all kinds of nocturnal creatures on our Night Walks...
So much wildlife comes alive only at night, but a night lamp and a little expert know-how can reveal this hidden and magical world.
Fly Sly our barn owl at dusk and go on to meet our spiky friendly hedgehogs and bat that will fascinate both young and old.
Then head out on an adventure to spot wild badgers, owls, deer and foxes that all live very close to the Farm.
