A Whole Summer of Folly Fun in Store
School Holiday Folly Fun this Summer…
We’re already into the first week of the summer holidays and the park is bustling with families and friends enjoying all we have to offer for a full day out with our zoo, farm, fair and various adventure play areas. But that’s not all! Over the summer holidays we have lots of extra Folly Fun in store that you simply cannot miss.
Card hunts and prize trails
Our daily card hunts and themed prize trails are back. Can you spot one of our cards hidden in the park? If you do, then hand them in and receive a special prize. Our themed prize trail can be entered using the QR codes – can you complete them all? Entries will be entered into a free prize draw to be in with a chance of winning some fab prizes.
Remember to check out our photo op area in the barn too to grab that perfect family photo.
Pop-up pirates and character appearances
Look out for our mischievous posse of pirates running pop-up pirate play sessions each afternoon at the Barti Ddu Black Bart play area from around 1.30 – 2.30pm. On rainy days they may ‘jump ship’ to Carousel Woods play area instead – so keep ‘yarrrrr’ eyes peeled and join in the fun!
You may spot some of our other cheeky characters during your day with us too. Make sure you grab a pic with them and tag us in when uploading on either Facebook or Instagram.
Meet and greets
Make sure you pop by our barn for plenty of meet and greet sessions, where you can get up close to a variety of furry favourites with our Jolly Farmers. Times and animals vary throughout the day so head on down and check out the daily timetable located at the barn entrance before hopping over the underpass to ride our Land Train tractor ride to check out our rare breeds!
Glitter tattoos
Get your sparkle on at our *glitter tattoo station based near the VR ride in the fairground daily from 2.30 – 4pm. From sloths, lions and sheep, to pirates and princesses – choose from a variety of stencils and SHINE like the star you are!
*Tattoos are subject to an additional charge of £5 per person, or you can get two for £8.
Lion Day
On 13 August we’ll be celebrating these beautiful big cats over at the Pride of Pembrokeshire enclosure. There’ll be keeper talks and feeding demonstrations, crafts and activities as well as a ‘roarsome’ raffle and fun with our Entertainments team.
As well as the above activities – at 3pm, our friend James from Safina Lion Conservation will also be on site and running a fascinating lion talk about their conservation work. This is bookable talk with a donation of £3 per person which will go directly to our conservation partners helping these amazing animals in the wild. Explore where donations collected at Folly Farm go and how they help lions in the wild. This will be an illustrated talk with time allocated to ask questions and quiz James on his knowledge.
All weather fun
We know the weather so far this summer has been a tad dreary – But don’t let that put you off.
Around HALF of our attractions are based undercover so we have plenty to see and do, whatever the weather throws at us! Our indoor Vintage Fairground, huge Carousel Woods play area, Jolly Barn and Tropical Trails enclosure are all undercover. We even have lots of sheltered sections when viewing the animals such as the Kifaru Reserve viewing gallery, underwater viewing at Penguin Coast and our Piggery in the farm. But we also encourage everyone to dress for the weather and although we’ll keep our fingers crossed for sunshine – you don’t have to let the rain dampen your spirits this summer!
FREE return
And last but not least – remember we offer a FREE RETURN within seven days. Perfect for when one day isn’t quite long enough to squeeze everything in – or if you simply want double the Folly fun! T’s and C’s apply – but please just ensure you keep hold of your receipt and see a member of staff at the admissions booths BEFORE exiting the park on your first day of visit to redeem this offer. We’ll be unable to admit you for free on your second visit without having a validated ticket so don’t be left disappointed. Full details over on our ‘Vouchers and Offers‘ page.
Have a great summer everyone!
