Family Fun

These smaller, and more affordable experiences make for the perfect family adventure! All our experiences are private and are perfect for the whole family to enjoy, we can tailor the experience to fit your needs and preferences. Whether you've always wanted to cuddle a valais blacknose sheep, groom a miniature shetland, or meet a variety of exotic species we have the experience for you! These experiences are based on farm (with the exception of the at home visit) in Husthwaithe, North Yorkshire overlooking the Vale of York and the North York Moors. It is the perfect rural location for a peaceful moment with some adorable animals!

For experiences based on the farm, our morning meet and greets start at either 10am or 11:30am and the afternoon meet and greets start at either 1pm or 2:30pm. We are open for bookings Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

For mobile experiences, the start time can be tailored for you (between 10am and 4pm) and we are open for bookings 7 days a week!
