Step into the world of giraffes with an unforgettable 15-minute encounter with Shaba and Mzungu in our open-range area. Guided by one of our experienced keepers, you’ll step onto a raised feeding platform and get face-to-face with these gentle giants. Watch in awe as Shaba eagerly pulls leaves from your hands or see Mzungu delicately take each leaf with her dexterous tongue. This behind-the-scenes experience allows you to learn about giraffe behaviour, diet, and care while enjoying a safe and up-close interaction with two of the zoo’s most impressive residents.
Please note that zoo entry is not included and must be purchased separately. The experience is suitable for children aged 6 and above, with those under 16 required to be accompanied by a paying adult. Guests are encouraged to bring a sense of adventure and wear comfortable walking shoes, as some movement around the platform and open-range area may be involved. This encounter offers a rare opportunity to connect with giraffes in an educational and thrilling way, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

I honestly love folly farm. It has so much to see and do. Perfect for couples or families. You can buy food there which is very nice. Overpriced but fine if you have the budget but easy to take a backpack with a picnic. Indoor fairground and outdoor fair rides are good fun but again, you need tokens which will cost extra. Even without those the animals are really easy to look at. The park is huge and the indoor play area and softplay and really great for big and young children. It's worth paying and returning in 7 days to get the most our of your ticket.

Just got back from an absolutely amazing family day out at Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo in Pembrokeshire, Wales. My wife, son and I have visited many family farms over the years, but this one is on another level! At first, we thought the admission price was a little steep, but once we arrived (around 10am) we realised just how much there is to see and do — we were genuinely pushed for time trying to fit it all in! From the petting barn, where you can get hands-on with friendly farm animals, to the zoo area where we got up close to the lionesses, every part of the day was unforgettable. My son was over the moon – it was the first time he’d seen lions this close (his favourite animal!) and it made the whole experience even more special. All of the animals looked really well cared for, and the enclosures were clean, spacious and beautifully maintained. You can tell how much effort goes into ensuring both the animals and visitors have the best possible experience. After exploring the zoo, we discovered the indoor fairground and soft play area — both were incredible! The fairground had all the classic rides, from dodgems and waltzers to carousels and tons more, bringing back such nostalgic memories of my own childhood. The play zones are thoughtfully split by age, so there’s something for every child. Seeing my son’s face light up was priceless. By the end of the day, we agreed the admission was absolutely worth it. If we lived closer, we’d 100% get the annual pass so we could visit again and try one of the animal experience days next time. Huge thanks to all the staff for such a wonderful experience — everything was clean, safe, friendly, and full of fun. If you’re looking for things to do in Wales or a family-friendly day out near Tenby or Pembrokeshire, I can’t recommend Folly Farm highly enough.

We visited with my parents and my one year old daughter and we all really enjoyed it. You could hire a mobility scooter which was fantastic for my Dad who struggles to walk far (think it was £20 with refundable £30 deposit?). Also you could hire single/ double buggies if you needed. Everywhere is really accessible for wheelchairs/ buggies and there is soo much to see. You can get your ticket validated to visit again within 7 days, which we would have done had the weather not been so shocking the week we were away. Loads of animals and so many great play areas for children of all ages!! Even the cafe for lunch exceeded our expectations, thought it would be a bit basic but we all really enjoyed the food and the kids grazing platter was a great array of ‘picky bits’ for our daughter. Would really recommend!! We visited on a weekday outside of school holidays so it was relatively quiet which was great.

Lovely family day out for sure and with staying at the holiday park it was included in our price so even better. So much to see and do, all very well laid out, clean tidy and all children play equipment seemed well looked after and safe for us. The animals seemed happy and loved. Only down side I do think it is an expensive day out even with this included in our holiday, however I would still pay again for the fair ground when we go again.

Such a lovely way to spend an afternoon. Having just arrived in Pembroke and driving towards Swansea, I spotted the sign on a roundabout and thought 'why not!' So my mum and I decided to take a detour and had such a wonderful experience ☺️ Beautifully maintained and so well laid out. Around every turn was another gorgeous animal or attraction. There was a great variety of animals and all were clearly well cared for. The gift shop and food options were also a lovely treat and reasonably priced
