Customer Reviews
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.
Huge! We were very surprised at the scale of Folly Farm. We visited specifically to see the giraffes but enjoyed a long morning exploring and seeing the other animals in their large, well designed enclosures. You can see much investment and top class maintenance here. It is a big site, apart from the zoo there are farm animals, a fairground and plenty of indoor spaces if the weather is iffy. A wonderful place for families and anyone else for that matter. The site has good paths for pushchairs, buggies, mobility scooters and wheelchairs. Everywhere is accessible and there are plenty of toilets. You can even revisit for free within a week, just validate your ticket as you leave. We charged our electric car whilst in the park, 12 Pod points available at a reasonable 55p kWh. They are at the far end of the car park though so drop off passengers first.
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.
