WALLABY WALKABOUT

Wander down-under through the charming Wallaby Walkabout! Meet the friendly mob of wallabies as they hop around you and see the first joey that was born on the farm in 4 years – keep an eye out for the daily sessions, when the keepers will give you a personal introduction - and you might be able to feed them too. 

You’ll also get to see the herd of goats, and watch the mob of marvelous meerkats including the new adorable meerkat pups!

INDOOR SOFT PLAY BARN

Enjoy all the thrills and spills of the indoor Play Barn! With a large soft play zone, filled with slides, bridges, ball pits and more, there is loads for kids of all ages to swing, bounce, run and jump around. There is also a dedicated Toddlers soft play area for under 5s, ride-on tractor track, and lots more, stacked full of fun whatever the weather! 

OUTDOOR PLAY

Take off on our amazing Jumping Pillows! We've got one especially for the little ones so they don't get bounced by the bigger kids. We've also got slides, swings, sledge slides, farm park footy, a trim trail assault cause, and "The Lookout" climbing tower for you to scale your way to the top of.

ANIMAL BARN

Loads of farm fun, animal encounters and exciting play can be had in the Animal Barn! Meet the animals and enjoy Pets Corner sessions with the rabbits, guinea pigs and any of Tapnell Farm Park’s latest baby arrivals! Enter a world of imagination in “Tiny Tapnell” and create your own farm fun in miniature.

STRAW BALE ADVENTURE BARN

For excitement and adventure head straight to the Straw Bale Adventure Barn! Scramble up the Straw Bales, explore the fort, slide down and explore the tunnels underneath. Race your friends around the indoor/outdoor pedal go kart track.

TAPNELL FARM PARK CAFÉ

When you’ve worked up a thirst or an appetite head into Farm Park Coffee House, where you can top up on snacks, sandwiches, cakes, drinks and ice creams – enjoy these from our indoor and outdoor seating areas, including a raised mezzanine overlooking the Play Barn, which lets you keep an eye on the kids while they rush off to carry on playing.
