If you fancy a bit of outdoor play, you can bounce as high as you can on the giant jumping pillows, experience the thrill of flying around on the twister ride, get wet and wild in the splash zone or try your skills at archery tag.
Children can enjoy the magic of a real farm – newborn lambs for most of the year and other baby farm animals to feed and cuddle at Pet’s Corner. Don’t forget to bring your camera to capture some magical moments and sheep selfies. All the resident animals in the animal barn – puppies, chicks, rabbits, lambs and miniature ponies allow you to get up close and personal.
