Countryside farm in Thelwall offering hands-on petting and feeding experiences with alpacas, pygmy goats, pigs, donkeys, and reindeer. Indoor petting area plus outdoor field walks. Staff let children enter enclosures directly with the animals.
π Funzaroo Verdict
The best choice in the North West for families wanting a genuinely close animal encounter rather than a zoo-style viewing experience. Children from 19 months have been brought successfully - staff adapt the experience to the child's confidence level and age.

βWe booked the petting experience for my friendβs birthday! We fed and pet so many animals, it made our day! Our favourites were the pygmy goats, the pigs, Bobby and George (alpacas) and Monty! We visited during the week so it wasnβt too busy. It was a rainy day but that didnβt get in the way of our excitement. We will definitely go back with our partners to do the same or the alpaca walk. Suzie was lovely, informative and helpful. I also sent a message with a question prior to our visit, this received a prompt response. Would definitely recommend!!β

βGreat idea for couples, family or friends, especially those animal lovers! I have been a few times in different seasons. The adventure starts with a little cute petting zoo indoors then you walk around to the other animals e.g pigs, reindeers in the outdoors feeding them all. The Alpacas, Donkeys and Pony are quite the cheeky bunch, they will follow you around for some treats if loose in their pen or the main field, even when you have fed them but itβs super cute and give you some entertainment.β

βSuch a lovely place out in the countryside! All the animals are super cute, we did the feeding experience and there were so friendly. We were walking around with the animals in the field, the alpacas and donkeys kept following us around with our food buckets π they really showed their personalities. It was muddy, just a warning. We would definitely come back hereβ
