Easter Holiday Fun – Down On The Farm

Children always seem to love visiting farms and petting the animals or feeding them. Here are a couple of suggestions of where they can do just that – and more.

South Of England Rare Breeds Centre, Ashford, Kent adults and children from £5.45 (winter ticket price without Gift Aid). Plenty of animals to see, including some rare breeds no longer bred for commercial farming, alpacas, a walk-in aviary and a selection of insects, snakes and lizards at Creepy Crawly World. There is also a butterfly tunnel, but this doesn’t open until May. Other attractions include trailer rides, play parks, woodland walks (which we really enjoy on a warm day and have discovered grass snakes along the way) and the Mysterious Marsh Trail, which you are meant to negotiate without your feet touching the ground – quite a challenge! This makes a really fun day out, especially on a warm, dry day when you can take a picnic and enjoy all the trails and activities on offer.

Knockhatch Adventure Park, East Sussex, admission adults £1.99 - £7.99 (depending on day) children £4.99 - £9.49 (Tesco Days Out vouchers accepted). The children’s farm has a large number of animals including alpacas, chinchillas, deer, goats, guinea pigs, wallabies, pigs etc, whilst there are a number of activities on offer too. Have a ride on the Go-Karts or a row on the boating lake; children can enjoy adventure play or get daring on the ‘devil-drop’ slide; or have a game of crazy golf or relax while the children enjoy the soft play area. With all this and more to do, it’s a great family day out with something for everyone.
