Folly Farm

“Best family day out in Wales, it has everything! I've been coming to Folly Farm all my life and now I bring my own kids. We come every year and always have the best time. We've occasionally had an annual pass if we come down West more than once a year but sometimes just opt for the day ticket which is fantastic value as you get to come back for free within 7 days for another day, so really it's a 2 day entrance fee which works out less than £12pp/pd! There's farm animals with talks and meet and greets, a full zoo, indoor soft play, indoor fairground, 5 fantastic parks outside (one of our favourite parts!), ride on cars, few other fairground rides outside, big sand box with Diggers, a real tractor ride, a few restaurants (can recommend the hungry farmer, the baguettes are lovely rustic bread and huge!), a couple of ice cream stands and plenty of picnic seating, grass areas, water refills stations and toilets! Also have great baby changing facilities! You can also rent buggys for the day but we've never done that. It's all pretty flat except for one hill down to the giraffes, so all accessible and easy for buggys and mobility chairs. The staff are friendly and you really couldn't wish for more under one "roof". It's mostly outdoor so make sure to cover up when sunny. Free parking on site. We visited on Tuesday in the summer holidays and the car park was only half full at 11am when we arrived, but have come all year round and have always got in. Can't wait to come back again!”

“Visited during our stay at nearby bluestone. Absolutely fantastic day out. The park and zoo is EXCELLENT. Couldn’t get over how many activities and animals were here - not enough opening hours to do everything so the ‘free return within seven days’ is definitely a great idea. Our 5, 3 and 1.5 year olds had a great day. Park and zoo is in excellent condition - clean and well maintained. Facilities excellent and food venues offered good value. Entry ticket prices may seem expensive when you first book but honestly they offer so much value for money. There is so much to do. The animals were all easily accessible/visible - the lions and giraffes being a highlight. We will certainly be returning. Diolch am ddiwrnod gret!”

“Folly Farm is easily one of the greatest attractions out there - There is just so much to do for all - not only is it just a zoo and a farm park but it has an indoor vintage fairground area and this really makes it unique. I love how the farm area is layed out too and it’s all inside (the farm) making it great for wet days too. Food is your average attraction type snacks but tasted great. I would love to see more Folly Farm branded souvenir gifts in the gift shop though, there is a lot of soft toys and plastic toys for kids - which is fine but Folly Farm needs more recognition so more branded stuff would be great.”
