Read sloth feeding experience reviews

“Absolutely fantastic experience! My daughter is sloth obsessed and she has been waiting for this experience for over a year! Really informative and personable and the sloths really were adorable!”

“My daughters really loved the sloth experience, they most enjoyed the way the sloths turned and searched looking for their food with their cute faces and wide eyes and how they held the food. The experience was excellent value of money and they enjoyed their certificates and sloth soft toys after the experience was over. Martha was very informative on the sloths. Would definitely recommend.”

“This was an absolutely fantastic day out. The sloths were very cute and the zookeper who took our session was very knowledgeable and did a great job!”

“Both Sharon and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The keeper was friendly and took us to another enclosure when the first two sloths were not responding. The cuddly toy and the certificate were a nice surprise at the end. We had to book a year in advance but it was worth the wait. A once in a lifetime experience.”

“My daughter and son loved this experience, they loved feeding the sloths and being so close to Button and Nova. Martha was fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable and at no point did we feel rushed (a bit like the sloths). We enjoyed our day at Folly Farm and always do when we visit, I only wish it was closer to us and not 375 miles away.”

“My daughter thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the keeper Martha was very knowledgeable she also made you feel that no question was a silly one, a real credit to Folly Farm. Thankyou Martha.”

“I have always wanted to meet sloths, it made my dream come true, loved every minute, the sloth keeper was excellent. I would highly recommended it.”

“What an incredible experience! I would never in a million years, thought I’d be as close to a sloth as we were! You can only dream of these things! Button, and Nova were adorable! And it was a pleasure to meet them, and be able to feed them! And I feel honoured that they woke up for us! After all sloths do spend 15-20 hours a day sleeping! They both had such different personalities!”

“Martha spent so much time with us, telling us about each sloth. As Nova was totally asleep, after feeding Button, we went to meet Lightcap and Tuppee in their enclosure. They were ready for food and we got so close to them. It was a fantastic experience. We spent more time than we expected with the most loveable sloths. Brilliant morning!”

“What a fantastic experience. The staff member that accompanied us was brilliant. We have so many photos and videos of the experience. We will never forget it. It was very special!”

“I had the absolute best time. Kim the keeper so was knowledgeable and friendly. I learnt so much about sloths.”

“The experience was definitely worth every penny. Nova and Button were very active and curious when it came to feeding time. Natasha, our guide, was very knowledgeable and answered our many questions – nothing was rushed! She’s a credit to the team! We travelled from Yorkshire for this experience and I’m so glad that we did! We are already talking about coming back and doing another!”

“The sloth experience was absolutely amazing. It was so much fun and it was amazing to see the sloths up close, they were so cute. The keeper was really nice and friendly, and it was really interesting to learn even more about sloths.”

“Really enjoyed this experience the zoo keeper was very kind and helpful to make this experience for me and my daughter memorable. We were given ample time and didn’t feel rushed in any way.”

“Our experience was held by Kim who was really friendly and was happy answering all our questions. Absolutely fantastic day thank you.”

“We found Becky (I think that was her name) who greeted and briefed us and proceeded to deliver the most wonderful, interesting and enchanting encounter with Button and Nova. My wife and I had the most amazing time. We want to thank Becky for making this such a memorable occasion and looking after us so well.”

“The whole experience was an absolute joy, the zoo keeper was well informed about the sloths and made goodcrepour with us, we would recommend an animal experience, thank you.”

“Had a fantastic time at our sloth feeding experience. Never felt rushed so really felt it was good value.”

“Amazing experience.”

“I was given a sloth experience by my wife for my 40th last year, we had to wait a little while because they are so popular, however, the wait was SO worth it! It is by far the best experience I have ever had, Button was just perfect and I could not have asked for a better experience, Caroline who supervised the experience was amazing! Honestly you will not be disappointed! Thank you Folly Farm.”

“We had a wonderful time at Folly Farm. Meeting Button the sloth was for me like meeting my favourite rock star in person. Totally unforgettable. We loved how close we were able to get to the rest of the animals too. Great care is obviously taken over their welfare, and staff very helpful, friendly and informative. We will definitely be back.”

“Booked this for my fiancé’s 40th. It was a really amazing experience.”

“We had the sloth experience with Button. The whole experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish. It was so wonderful to be up so close to Button and feed her breakfast, definitely unforgettable. Rosie the keeper was so lovely, she was so jolly and showed her great love of sloths and gave us some amazing facts. Highly recommended and we will be back to enjoy this experience again.”

“Daughter and I loved the experience and was supper happy Button came out for a feed and we we’re able to feed her quite a bit. Kim was amazing throughout the whole experience.”

“Fantastic experience! Being a mega sloth fan it was incredible to be up close and personal. The team were fab and really knowledgeable. And of course Button was fab and very adorable!”

“Keeper Rosie was an absolute pleasure to be with during our sloth feeding experience and she is very clearly passionate about her job. We participated in the sloth feeding experience after waiting an entire year after booking at it was the wait! We love Folly Farm as a day out after participating in the giraffe experience last year with keeper Callum, also a pleasure to be with! We will be back soon!”

“I received this zoo experience for my birthday as I love sloths, it was amazing to get close to these beautiful animals and I look forward to visiting again soon.”

“For my 12 year old, meeting Button was a dream come true. He has always been a huge fan of sloths and we found out so much information that we didn’t know beforehand from her keeper, Natasha. Feeding Button was absolutely amazing, she was taking the food right out of my sons hand. She even opened her mouth at one point and let him feed her. He was on cloud nine and quite emotional. Thank you!”

“My son and I had a wonderful experience feeding button the beautiful sloth. The keeper was lovely and very knowledgeable. I cannot rate it highly enough. It was just the best.”

“The experience was purchased for my 11 year old grand-daughter. We were welcomed by the very knowledgeable and lovely keeper, who answered all our questions. Button hopefully enjoyed the experience even though she wasn’t fussed with the lettuce but enjoyed the other foods offered and gave us plenty of photo opportunities. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience.”

“I absolutely loved my sloth experience. The keeper was kind and informative, answering any questions that I had. I received a lovely souvenir cuddly sloth and certificate at the end which was lovely.”

“Rosie the keeper was absolutely brilliant and full of tons of knowledge on the sloth. Very happy friendly member of staff. Will highly recommend to anyone.”

“Loved getting to meet Button the sloth and feed her vegetables! It was a really special experience. I also learned a lot as the keeper was really knowledgeable and answered all my questions and even some I hadn’t thought of. I would totally recommend this experience if you’re a big sloth fan.”

“Fantastic experience, Natasha was very knowledgeable and friendly.”

“Our son had an excellent experience this morning, thank you very much! The zoo keeper was brilliant with him, offering valuable knowledge and answering all his questions. He didn’t stop smiling all day!”

“What a great experience, Button was a real star, we were able to feed her and interact and she loved eating upside-down. Natasha the zoo keeper was knowledgeable and made the whole time fun and enjoyable. Thanks.”

“I had an absolutely fantastic experience, Keeper Rosie was excellent, very friendly and knowledgeable. Made the experience that much more. Of course the sloths were fantastic too. Great day and one not to forget. Thank you.”

“Both my mother and I had the most amazing experience today meeting your new beautiful year old sloth Button. The guide today was outstanding and couldn’t do more to make us feel so welcome and enjoy our experience. This was a birthday present from my son and we loved every minute. Thank you so much!”

“Amazing visit which is highly recommended to all. The experience allows you to be up close and experience the true brilliance of sloths. Tuppee and Lightcap were both amazing too, coming out and engaging with their surroundings and food was incredible. Natasha (zoo keeper) was also brilliant! Very welcoming, knowledgeable and making you feel like its a true experience. You also get a sloth gift.”

“I was bought the sloth experience as a gift and it was amazing! The experience itself was fantastic, there was no feeling of rushing to keep to time. The staff were informative and you could tell they really care about the animals. The gift was fantastic too. I know others that have done the animal experiences here and have had the same fabulout time as me. Would highly recommend. Thank you Folly Farm.”

“My son loved and was thrilled with this short but amazing experience, however the price for such a short time is extremely expensive, and to have to pay to get into Folly Farm in the first place (particularly if you go regularly and don’t want to look round) is daylight robbery!”

“Would highly recommend this experience. I had a fantastic time in with the sloths. I was really surprised in how gently they took the food. It was a lovely experience being that close to them. Well done Folly Farm for the idea of the feeding experience. It was also my birthday wow what a day to spend it.”

“Amazing experience for my little girl, she absolutely loved it. The staff were so helpful and friendly. Thank you. We would definitely recommend.”

“Amazing experience we got to get up really close with the sloths and feed to mouth. We were given lots of facts and information and were really lucky to be able to see them move around.”

“Great experience, keeper was knowledgeable and answered all our questions, sloths were very easy to feed and responded well to us being there. This was for my daughter’s birthday and well worth the wait, highly recommended.”

“Absolutely amazing, we loved it! Would just like to give a big shout out to Kim who led our sloth experience! She was absolutely incredible. So passionate, upbeat, energetic and knowledgeable! Thank you so so much.”

“I loved the Sloth feeding. The keeper made me feel very welcome. She gave me so much information about sloths in general and about the two sloths kept at Folly Farm. She was happy and helpful. The enclosure for the sloths was lovely. I liked that it wasn’t behind a cage or plastic screen. It was nice to be able to feed both sloths during my visit. Loved the sloth toy and certificate to take home at the end.”

“A fab experience, Kim was knowledgeable and happy to answer our questions, we learned so much we would never have thought to ask aswell. It was lovely to get close to the sloths and be able to hand feed them, having never seen them so active before! Didn’t feel rushed at all and both had a cute souvenir at the end. We will be coming again for more animal experiences.”

“Wow! What an experience to be so close to such wonderful creatures. The keeper was lovely and we didn’t feel rushed at all. Tuppee and Lightcap were very gentle and enjoyed a gentle stroke. Could not recommend highly enough.”

“Fantastic experience from the welcome on arrival to leaving several hours later. Helpful staff throughout the farm. Amazingly knowledgeable Harry who escorted us for the experience and shared lots of information and made the whole experience a dream come true for my son who wants to become a zoologist. So much to see and do in addition to the experience which filled the whole day.”

“Child’s dream came true! Knowledgeable and friendly keeper. Great amount of time spent with Tuppee and Lightcap. If I could rate this 1000 stars I would! Loved that Candy the pink pigeon joined in too!”

“Fantastic experience, really enjoyed it.”

“This was a birthday present for my son, who loves sloths. He was so excited beforehand and it didn’t disappoint. The sloths were keen for their treats and actually interacted far more than I thought they might. Martha was lovely with him and we were given as much time as we wanted for photos etc. He thoroughly enjoyed it and hasn’t stopped chatting about it since.”

“My sloth experience was bought by my sister for my 40th birthday and was fantastic! Tuppee and Lightcap were absolutely gorgeous. Martha the zookeeper was brilliant too, she gave me so much interesting information about the sloths. I was able to feed them their breakfast which was such a fantastic, memorable experience which I will never forget! Thank you so much Martha and Folly Farm.”

“Really friendly staff, the keeper was informative and made me feel relaxed with the sloths. I had a wonderful experience and managed to feed both of the sloths which made my day even better! Great value and loved my gift!”

“I treated my partner to get up close and personal with the sloths for his special birthday and he wasn’t disappointed. It was an amazing experience and I would encourage anyone who loves sloths to do it. Jack was our guild and he was really friendly and informative. Thank you Jack and all the lovely staff at Folly Farm.”

“An absolutely amazing experience, we were really lucky that the sloths were hungry and wanted to interact. They are my favourite animals so to be able to hand feed and interact with such beautiful animals was amazing. Knowledgeable keepers who were a great host.”

“Amazing experience loved every minute keeper was amazing.”

“Where to start? The staff member was fantastic, helpful and explained loads about sloths. I cannot say anything bad or any suggestions as it was perfect. I love sloths and it was amazing. I will never forget that experience. I want to thank Folly Farm staff members for a brilliant family day out and a outstanding sloth experience. Thank you so much. Definitely recommend it to anyone.”

“Excellent experience with an excellent zoo keeper. Really enjoyed and well worth the money. Would highly recommend the experience and looking forward to returning to Folly Farm.”

“Excellent experience, especially the staff helping myself and my daughter whose birthday it was with the sloths. Very kind and making sure my daughter had a wonderful time! We were very surprised how close my daughter could get to the sloths, feeding the sloths and even touched them. The perfect length of time, wonderful gift at the end.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed my sloth feeding experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to all sloth lovers! I was guided by zookeeper Martha and she was amazing at answering all my questions. I fed both sloths aubergine and sweet potato and can’t believe how up close and personal I got to them! It was lovely being able to have my wife and son watch me feed them too, a lovely bonus!”

“Had a great time at the Folly Farm sloth experience. Was given so much information about the sloths. Would recommend to anyone.”

“Myself and my sister fed the sloths yesterday. What gentle, happy animals. We had the best experience. I feel like there is so much I’ve learnt about these amazing animals. The keeper was so knowledgeable. I would 100% recommend this experience. Thank you.”

“We honestly had a fantastic day, meeting Tuppee and Lightcap was truly amazing. I never thought I’d get the chance to do something like that so you have definitely made a 40 year old very happy. The experience itself was well organised, at the gate we were given all the information we needed and given directions on where to be for the start time. Your keepers were so friendly and knowledgeable, they made us feel welcome and explained how we needed to be around the sloths before we went in. They both seemed extremely confident and competent in their role. We didn’t feel rushed and in fact were surprised that we had been in there for 30 minutes, it really did seem a lot longer. We travelled from North Yorkshire to visit and it was definitely worth it. I was over the moon with the gift, it will hold some great memories. I can’t thank Folly Farm enough for the experience. I can’t wait to come back and do it again! We’re even talking about booking a giraffe feeding next time as well!”

“I won the sloth feeding competition on Facebook and went with my boyfriend, the best experience ever! If you love sloths this is the best opportunity, the lovely lady that was there with us was so chatty and answered all our questions and the sloths were so active for us! What an amazing experience, something I’ll never forget. Thank you Folly Farm!”

“A wonderful chance to get up close to these fascinating creatures. The new enclosure was really jaw-dropping and so well done, you can see the sloths were loving it there and it was a great setting for the experience. Becky, the zookeeper was so knowledgeable about Tuppee and Lightcap and told us some really interesting stories about them both, including their own little habits and quirks. We hand fed Lightcap (Tuppee was asleep!) and it was great to hand the food over and watch her take it from me. The way she clasped the food was so cute! The time we spent just flew by and it was really a memorable experience which I highly recommend.”

“Something to tick off the bucket list. The sloth experience definitely exceeded my expectations in many ways. I was able to stand right up close to Lightcap who was a huge fan of the carrots I was feeding her. She was ever so gentle taking them from my hand and nibbling away. I particularly loved the new enclosure, the sloths were far more visible and it was incredible to see how they had turned this space into the new Sloth Forest. The zoo keeper Becky was so knowledgeable, answering any questions that came to mind and informing me all about the weird and wonderful things sloths do! I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to everyone!”
