Animal farm can be a great place to visit rain or shine. lots of lovely animals to pet and feed…read more The farm has barns with rabbits,ferrets and all other fluffy things. In the 20+ acres you have all the reg farm animals to feed. Theres a couple of rides , bouncy castle and toy tractors to skoot around on. All this could be done in drizzly weather with wellys on but if its really bad theres a massive indoor play area. they have a small area for babys and toddlers thats well padded and keeps them entertained for ages. The older kids have lots to climb and the tallest slides i have ever seen. my heart was in my mouth watching the kids come down it , but they thought it was wicked. The farms very easy to find as burnham-on -sea isnt a big place to get lost in. well worth a visit :)

This is a brilliant place to take your kids to. My little girl is 2 1/2 now and we have been taking…read moreher there for over a year now and she loves it. You pay an entry price and then most of the things are free. It has a bouncy castle, trampaline,'cuddle club' where you can cuddle ginea pigs and rabbits, outdoor slides, swing boats, climbing frame, ride on tractors etc and a large indoor play area with ball pits, lots of slides and places to climb around. Also it has paddocks with animals in (such as cows, lamas etc.) which you can feed and indoor barns with pigs and horses in. It is a great day out and you can stay for hours without your kids geting bored.

Longleat Safari Park - The castle at Longleat - 4/17/2026

Longleat Safari Park

The fantastic Longleat Safari and Adventure Park in Wiltshire, England is the world's first…read moredrive-thru safari park outside of Africa. Longleat opened in 1966 on the grounds of the historic Longleat castle, a first of its kind in the UK. On the grounds one can enjoy riding in the safari tour bus to see the many exotic animals the estate has collected and bred over the years. There is quite an impressive array of lions, tigers, zebras, monkeys, parrots, grey wolves, ostriches, giraffes and rhinos, etc. In addition to the tour bus, there are walking areas, a boat safari, a railway, and the Elizabethan Longleat House castle to explore with its lush gardens and gorgeous manicured grounds. The tour takes approximately 2-3 hours and costs £40 for adults and £30 for children, from 3 years up to 16 years old. Children under 3 years old are free. There are also various kiosks and cafes around the grounds for dining or quick-bite options. Longleat is approximately 1.5 hours by train traveling from London proper, or roughly a 2 hour drive by car based on traffic. Hopefully you will have good weather when you visit. Enjoy!

I took my daughter here August '15 and it cost £60 to get in. I did not want Monkeys pulling bits…read morefrom my car so I paid the extra tenner for the bus ride around the safari park. We had something to eat ( it wasn't brilliant) so the whole day cost about £100. The place is clean and well kept, it has a butterfly house, some reptile places and a boat ride where you can feed the seals. There is also a big kids play area and maze ( reminds me of the shining!) Unfortunately the weather was not good so the play area was all wet, some of the rides were closed and it was cold and all muddy. We could not go on the boat ride it was too wet. The only draw back is that if it's cold and wet don't bother to go. We love in England so unfortunately that is most of the year. If you are an anal lover though you will like it, the annals are not just caged up and run freeley, so although it's not cheap I don't mind paying the money.

Went here with my family, first thing to note is the map they give you is 5 years out of date…read more Quite a few animals have moved cages and the park's changed slightly so can lead to confusion. Most notably, they advertise penguins on their brochure as a main attraction which one of our party was very much looking forward too and only came for the penguins but they all died a while ago. The talks are informative. A good day out for the family still and enough to take up your whole day. Petting zoo is fun for all ages.

We visited this zoo while on holiday at the end of the season, and had such a good day! The only…read moredownside which I'll mention now is the cafe seemed unable to cope with the lunchtime rush, and by 1pm had no sandwiches left and a half hour wait on hot meals! Great value tickets, nice little gift shop on the way out. They have such a wide range of animals for a fairly small space, all with wonderfully large enclosures, and all naturally managed - all the enclosures are as close as possible to their natural habitat, so the animals are happier and in better health. This can mean that they're hard to spot because they can be hiding in plant growth, but when you do see them they're so animated and fun to watch. Informative, educational and amusing talks are given by the keepers on the animals, there are various encounter sessions during the day where you get to hold some of the smaller animals, and reptiles and spiders and so on. The kids had a wonderful time, as did we, though we were surprised at how tired we were when we got back to the car - it's a deceptive space! Though on quite a small plot for a zoo, the paths and enclosures are arranged so that you get the impression you're walking round a much bigger place.

Have to say I agree with polobint, a very poor day out and as for sanctuary well we didn't see much…read moreevidence of the monkeys maybe they'd all been flown back to the wild. We did like the bats but that's about it. We were only there about an hour so we felt we'd wasted the entry fee, also it's got restricted disabled access which isn't great if you're in a wheelchair. Carer did get in free however, thankfully.

A Sat Nav won't even help you to find this place! It is in…read morethe middle of nowhere, between Seaton and Looe. It is right on the coast also with fabulous views. However, not much of a Monkey Sanctuary - I think they only have 3 Monkeys there now. Not much of a day out I am afraid. I was told by someone who works there that one of the Monkeys likes to smoke!!!! I would have liked to have seen that lol! This is totally different to other Animal Parks etc which I have visited with my daughter. She was bored within a few minutes and wanted to go home as she could not see any of the monkeys. There is plenty of room and lots of trees for them to hang about in, I was upset not to catch sight of one when we visited this summer holidays! The opening times are from 11.30 - 4.00pm I believe, yet (as this is cornwall) they do not stick to these times. Best call in advance to make sure it is open else it is a long drive back to civilization!!!! I must praise the factual learning information though, extremely informative and very fasinating to read. I would however, give this a miss and recommend checking out Porfell Animal Farm instead if you are looking for an all day outing with the kids.
