    Good as one off but quite expensive. Nice zoo area, penguins were the favourite. I'm not sure about farm yard, all the animals and not a person in sight anytime we were in. Anything could be happening. They no longer have any meet the animal style visits as part of normal tour. I asked specifically as we had met ferret and rabbits previously. Expensive as adults and children pay in, the 2 kids went on the diggers and cars and used up 18 of 20 tokens we had bought just on 2 rides, so you're looking at more costs to do any of the rides when there. Without any expenses aside from ticket and tokens it cost £103.80 vs £70.66 for same entrance and same tokens 3 yrs ago as I still have the emailed receipt. We probably spent another £10 on additional tokens as well as some rides cost more tokens now than previously. Playgrounds are nice and the kids d enjoy the boats and the large indoor play area. You can sit in middle of indoor area and see children run around you. We went on quiet day, so we had the best experience. We brought a packed lunch, lots of tables to eat at but beware the seagulls.

    One of, if not THE best place to take primary school aged kids, in the UK. There's everything! With the funfair and a huge kids play area undercover, it doesn't matter what the weather is doing. Our last trip it was pouring down and we still spent the day there. A fantastic selection of animals, loads of play areas. A fantastic place!

    Amazing day out for all the family, so much to see and do. The staff are always friendly and helpful, the areas are clean and safe with plenty of facilities dotted around the park. There are plenty of parking spaces with more than enough disabled parking towards the front of the entrance. Worth a visit every time we are in Wales, highly recommend to all.

    Incredible for a farm. Ultimately its a very decent zoo with indoor and outdoor adventur plays and activities. The lions, giraffes, Rhinos and penguins steal the show! Loads to do for all ages and an absolute gem in Pembrokeshire. We will continue to go again and again yo this place and we struggled to do everything I'm the full time span and see every animal. Kids loved it and it's great for the energetic adventurers.

  • 5/5 Olivia B. 8 months ago on Google
    Amazing! Absolutely gorgeous farm/zoo with tones of animals to see. Make sure you allow yourself plenty of time to get round everything. There's several places you can grab a bite to eat, (absolutely delicious) however slightly expensive so would maybe recommend taking a picnic with you. They have so many animals which all seemed quite content and happy, in pretty spacious enclosures. Especially loved the tropical trails as I am totally obsessed with sloths ❤️ they have several play areas for kids, a huge gift shop and also have a vintage fun fair with many old rides to enjoy, the ghost train was hilarious, not scary at all but absolutely loved it. Vintage fun fair also sells donuts which are delicious, definitely recommend buying some. The jolly barn was my favourite part, I absolutely love farm animals. Plenty of parking outside. Absolutely brilliant day out here, 100% worth a visit.

    What an absolutely amazing attraction. Very friendly staff who were really polite and welcoming. The site was impeccable, excellent facilities and the animals were kept in spacious and immaculate conditions. We've purchased a season ticket and will be returning many times throughout the season. Top quality attraction which is clearly run by excellent leaders with passion and foresight.

    A great place for young families in particular. Folly Farm has changed dramatically in the last ten years, and it's all been for the better. The farm is very much aimed at younger children with numerous play areas and interactive animal experiences which young children should really enjoy. But adults will also find plenty to see and do. If you are lucky to see the lions during one of the 'experiences' you will get to see them very close and see them being fed pieces of meat. The indoor fairground remains a great way to have fun from traditional arcade games through to fairground rides such as bumper cars, waltzes, etc. Fairground rides are additional cost, paid for by buying tokens. Most rides are two tokens = £1. Plenty of clean toilets available. Several well marked smoking areas. Free cash machine on site. Free parking. The whole site was very clean and well spaced out. Covid-19 signage very clear throughout.

    Tickets may seem pricey, especially when buying for a family but don't let that put you off. You can easily spend a full day here, with almost everything included with entry. Lovely walk around the park, amd you can get pretty close to many of the animals. The restaurants offer a decent range of food, presented well. Soft play and indoor play the biggest I've seen. Several outdoor play areas too. Highly recommended.

    Brilliant day out! We went as two adults to visit the zoo and were able to spend the whole day there taking everything in. Loads of animals to see and all seemed really happy and content. We were there in October, not half term, so the park wasn't too busy either which was perfect. The only negative for me was the piped music and speech which at times was grating, but otherwise it was a fabulous day out and we'll certainly be back again!

  • 5/5 Mareli G. 8 months ago on Google
    There is so much to do here it is impossible to cover it all in one day. It's a great place to visit whatever the weather, as the fairground rides and barn animals are all under cover. Our 6 year old loved the rides and watching the penguins swim. Everything very well looked after, and strong efforts for conservation and sustainability (check out the giant biomass boiler and the huge solar array!).

    A wonderful day out. The zoo was beautifully maintained with plenty of space for all the animals & very informative displays (the children enjoyed doing the free challenge trail.) I highly recommend the tropical house & sloths, a real hidden gem. So much to keep everybody happy with the rides as well. I only knocked off one star as you have to purchase tokens for the rides so this is an additional cost that soon mounts up!

    A great place to visit with all the family, although the entrance price is a little on the high side a whole day of experiences awaits. Plenty of animals, outdoor play areas, picnic areas and food outlets. Farm animals, tractor rides, go carts, mini diggers, indoor children's climbing and slides, show arena and a superb working collection of old fair ground rides and attractions. Free car parking.

    We love Folly Farm, they are constantly adding new attractions, we have been coming here for years, our children have now grown up and given us four lovely grandchildren who love it just as much. There is something to do whatever the weather, if it is dry then visit all the animals and have a picnic outside or if it is wet take a tour of the animals that are located inside and visit the beautifully restored vintage funfair rides. There is far too much to see and do in a day, it is a real gem of a place to visit, I thoughroughly recommend it.

    A wonderful family day out! Plenty of places to duck inside if it's raining too! So much for the children to see and do - animals are great, place is well kept and the indoor funfair is spectacular! We visit whenever we're in the area and we are never disappointed!

    A truly lovely day out. Mainly for families, however the Victorian Funfair is great for all ages. If you found this review/photos helpful, please click the like or helpful button. Thanks.

  • 5/5 Tamsin T. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing long weekend stay at Folly Farm Holiday Park with our 6+2yr old. So much to do at Folly Farm we were able to visit daily and still do different things each time we went. They have put so much attention to detail in to the areas the whole place is beautifully presented. The outdoor play areas were gorgeous, the zoo and farm were both lovely, the fairground was amazing and the holiday park far exceeded our expectations. Everything was spotlessly clean, the staff we met were incredibly friendly and we all had the best time. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to families with children, we will definitely return in a couple of years when the boys are a bit older! 🌟

    Great place for day out with kids. Huge indoor play area, nice vintage fair rides, takes me back to my childhood. Really big place, lots of walking but it is disabled friendly. They provide both classic and electric wheelchairs.

    Visited Folly Farm with my daughter and friends. Had a lovely day out. The zoo is great, but all the other bits make it even more special and fun. There's a lovely play park for the kids, plenty of picnic areas, plus cafes and the vintage fairground is amazing, though is an extra cost on top of ticket price.

    Very professional location. All clean, smart, matching livery and logos. More than a little expensive, but there is a lot there. Loads of animals, loads of children's activities; both inside and out. Highly recommended. Two adults, three children, three seniors cost £130.00 entrance. Rides are all extra, but cost £1 - 2 each ride and £4 for the Eclectic go carts. Very tasty looking food (we took a picnic) - burger and fries costs £7.95.

    We absolutely love Folly Farm and always visit when we are in pembrokeshire! The new sloth enclosure was an added bonus and allows you get closer to these fantastic animals! We had great service all day today, especially enjoyed our land train ride with Phil who was very informative! As always I loved the indoor fairground, a really unique experience! A great day out with lots to do 🐐🐄🐏

    Loved, great fun, good amount of animals. The vintage fair is a good price with the bands or without. Good size play areas outside and inn and if you return within 7 days you get free entry, we were were camping within the area so this was great for a rainy day whilst saving a bit of cash. My daughter also done a penguin experience here and it was well worth the money, the zoo keeper was amazing with my daughter and she had a little gift at the end with a certificate.

    Having been with the grandchildren first have now been twice more just two oldies!! Fabulous day out. No need to rush round , plenty of pit stops. Great seeing all the different animals and the indoor funfair. Didn't go on the land train this time but have done and it's worth the walk to get to it. Highly recommended.

    Absolutely fantastic! We had a great day for my sons 8th birthday. All the park has great accessibility with the pushchair. Lots of places to shelter if it rains (very possible in Wales). And lots of indoor activities too. Plenty of options for food as well as picnic areas (indoor and outdoor). All very well mapped out and easy to find your favourite residents ❤️

    Absolutely brilliant farm/zoo experience. Massive site, really clean with plenty of maps. Animals have really well maintained enclosures and seem very well looked after. Lots of variety, tons to see. We spent just over 3 hours there and we could have stayed longer! I absolutely loved the Vintage Fairground place - the old wooden rides and vintage games were right up my street. The entrance fee is quite high but then it must cost a fortune to run a site this big. Well worth a visit.

    Ideal day out for everyone, from kids to grandparents. Not a bank breaker in comparison to similar attractions, plus you can validate your receipt to get free access again within 7 days. And if you're local, an annual pass pays for itself within three visits, so why not? Enough to fill a day, different things to suit different ages, super clean and tidy, lots of play and picnic space. And though the car park was absolutely packed when we arrived, the park didn't seem overly busy. Genuinely a perfect day out.

    Great day out. Plenty of things to do. Lots of indoor activities for the kids if the weather isn't great. Food was good in the restaurant and great that you can come back again within 7 days for free making it half price if you come twice.

  • 5/5 Emily A. 5 months ago on Google • 44 reviews
    Booking in advance gives you 90days from point of purchase to use ticket. No way to book one day. No difference in price on the gate either. Get ticket validated when leaving gives you a free return visit within 7days. We have visited multiple times over the last 8years as part of our holiday to South Wales. The indoor fayre is beautiful and well maintained. The history is available to read by the rides also, or fun rides for everyone. I'd recommend the wristbands as the individual token price is expensive. The zoo side is smaller than the other local animal park but we loved the lions and penguins. Well worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Hayley P. 7 months ago on Google • 29 reviews
    Visit with 10 year old whilst on holiday in the area. Highly recommend a visit. Well sign-posted and parking plentiful. Reasonably priced in comparison to similar attractions elsewhere. Lots of animals to see. Clean and well cared for. Food offering was average. Lots of people (more organised than me!) with picnics which I'd say is the better option. Lots of places to sit and eat. Rides were an added bonus but BRING CASH! We wanted to buy tokens for individual rides and stalls rather than a wrist band and all of the machines only take cash. It took us ages to find somewhere staffed where we could buy tokens with a card and as a result we missed out on some rides. There is an ATM near the entrance but we only realised this on exit! Great that you can return free of charge within 7 days. We did the whole park in a day but I imagine with younger children, this would be useful.

  • 5/5 Andy B. 8 months ago on Google
    What a fantastic place to visit. The zoo is brilliant, plenty to see with great enclosures. The farm is great for younger children with all sorts of little animals that they can also stroke if they want. Lots of outdoor activities and themed play areas as well for when the weather is good. But also an enormous indoor vintage fairground and softplay area for when the weather isn't the best. The opportunity to come back within 7 days for free also meant we had 2 full days here, as there was just so much to see and do. This was a great find and something I would recommend to those with both older and younger children.

  • 5/5 Rosey C. 8 months ago on Google
    A wonderful little farm with plenty to do we went at opening time and stayed all the way until closure announcement, we could have also returned within a week for free due to the offer they run if you keep your receipt but we didn't have a free day to return, however I would recommend a day and a half if you have children who love animals, playing on play areas and arcade rides. If you have animal loving kids only then one day is perfect. Food places are decent value, the sweet stand that sells doughnuts is amazing. The indoor play area is huge and brilliant for kids, the outdoor play areas are also huge and just fantastic for high imagination playing. We were lucky enough to go on a quiet day so we didn't have any queues or crowds to worry about. There is also a play area for under 5s which is such a great idea as I used to struggle to find safe play areas when our daughter was young.

  • 4/5 Dean H. 8 months ago on Google
    Great park to come to with the kids. Loads of animals and rides to see. We have been several times before and it never disappoints. Especially as we have a tractor/digger obsessed child who could play to heats content. The animals are great and you always get a good view. The lost point is for the lack of smoking control on rides and in the park. Sat on a ride with people puffing away on vapes and blowing smoke over everyone and people freely smoking around children by rides and parks. Small detail I know but not pleasant. Other than this this place is great and well recommended to come and visit.

  • 4/5 Tia Y. 2 years ago on Google
    If you are an animal lover it's the best place you can go in the area amazing animal exhibits and they all get nice large areas so the animals are treated nicely. On top of many many different animals from around the world there is also a little fair with a few rides like the waltzer ( & mini waltzer) cyclone, catapiller, carousel, big wheel and a few others.. Just a little over priced but a great day all in all

  • 5/5 Honest M. 7 months ago on Google
    We had such a lovely time here. Lots to do for all ages. The kids loved the vintage funfair and we all loved the zoo. Seeing the lions was the best part for me. We also took up the offer of free return tickets.

  • 5/5 Rose H. 7 months ago on Google
    We went as a couple (age 24), and both had a fantastic time! We went during the holiday, which meant that there were lots of children, but it is such a large place that you could definitely find quiet spots. Large array of animals, both farm and zoo, so you won't go home feeling like you didn't see anything.

  • 5/5 Maria S. 7 months ago on Google
    Great place more of a full zoo then a farm. Amazing on a quiet day, good value for money and we didn't try the vintage style funfair but it looked good with a free soft play area. Food good for speed of service.

  • 5/5 Nikki P. 2 years ago on Google
    Folly "Farm" doesn't do it justice - this place is huge with so much to do! We arrived at 11 and hadn't done/seen everything by closing at 5. Lucky to have great weather too, so lots of the animals were out sunbathing.

  • 5/5 Faye R. 7 months ago on Google • 16 reviews
    We are so lucky to have this incredible place on our doorstep. It' has everything you could want in a day out, plenty of things to see, do and eat! We always start our day with the walk around the zoo, make our way back to the jolly barn and other attractions in that vicinity, we head to the fair to get our fudge and donuts, have a little play in the play area (which is huge!) And head outside again to finish the day with the outdoor fair and adventure parks. This is an all day thing for new visitors if you want to see everything arrive promptly as soon as it opens! I've been several times a year for about 10 years now and we don't see everything in one visit as we spend a lot of time doing the things we know we love first, Absolutely plan your day. Especially if you have children of different ages, ride wristbands are cheaper if your children love rides. I don't bother because mine only like 1 or 2 so not worth the wrist band each. Check out the website for further info on their rides and heights etc. They usually have a boomerang offer where you can come back for less than half the price if you return within 7 days. I strongly advise this if your holidaying near folly, you can enjoy 2 days there without rushing around to see everything in 1. Eating facilities are spread throughout the park as well as toilet facilities. Food isn't cheap, but is nice. Toilet facilities are always clean!

    Great family day out. Have visited quite a few times over the last 12 years and you never get bored. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Online booking easy to do. Would recommend a visit, if you are in the area.

  • 5/5 Kerry F. 2 years ago on Google
    So much to do, so much to see easy to walk around to see the animals, fantastic indoor and outdoor play areas for all ages if children, good clean facilities and cafés to eat with plenty of seating. We spent all day there with a 7 Yr old and 18 mth old who had so much fun. And the the funfair with old traditional rides was loved by all. With bumper cars where you can actually bump into each other 😁. A fantastic day was had by all.

  • 5/5 Cliff H. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a wonderful time with my wife daughter and 5yr old twin granddaughter's. They absolutely loved the whole day, and we will definitely return. And a special thanks to Adam the train driver 🤗 he was funny knowledgeable and excellent at his job, a very nice man. Thank you from myself and family 😃

  • 5/5 barrie t. 2 years ago on Google
    My daughter loves Folly Farm, we first went when she was 2 years old and we visit a few times a year. As she gets older it just gets better as she discovers more and more that she can do and see there. I love it too and have especially enjoyed watching Glyn the baby rhino grow over the last 2 years.

  • 4/5 Mark H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great day out for the family lots to do for all ages. Make sure you take extra money as the rides take tokens majority are 2 tokens, I would prefer to pay extra for the tickets or have the option to get the rides included

  • 5/5 Liz B. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a great day in Folly Farm yesterday. Our Grandsons are tractor mad and loved the tractor ride with Adam, great with the children and so knowledgeable about the animals. The giraffe's were fabulous, we loved them. Plenty of places to eat and areas to have a picnic, plenty of toilets around the park and areas kept very clean. Can't wait for our next visit. Highly recommend a visit.

    Fantastic place to visit with the family. Staff are so friendly and the animals are adorable. They also have fun activities for the little ones to do such as a Halloween Themed Scavenger Hunt. Would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Sebastian 10 months ago on Google
    A very nice zoo and very fun for your families as well. I loved the food there. There was even a shop I've went to. I had a nice hot chocolate. The animals looked really nice. It was a really nice place to explore. The rides were also really fun! Would rate 6 stars if I could.

  • 5/5 andrew h. 2 years ago on Google
    a great day out for the family lots of animals and some old fashioned fair rides and a few parks for the kids to play on

  • 5/5 Adam C. 1 year ago on Google
    Went here on a weekday and it was very quiet. A lot to go around and it's more of a zoo than a farm. Was able to see Lions, Rhinos, Sloths, Reptiles, Giraffes and many more. Very surprised with how close we were able to get to all the animals. The place is well suited to young children. There's places to buy food and also indoor and outdoor picnic areas with seating.

  • 5/5 Tracy H. 2 years ago on Google
    Brilliant day out so much to do, it's quite spread out though and not very well signposted everything was, we nearly missed the end with the Rhino's! Maybe they should give you a map when you go in! Really enjoyed the farm bit for our little one. Ice creams well priced😊 would come again 😊

  • 5/5 Jennifer F. 1 year ago on Google
    Great farm. Love how much effort that put into the decor. Lots to do but I was annoyed but the extra cost to the fun fair rides. I think there could charge more for admission which includes the fun rides. Due to short staff the rides were on a rotation so some weren't working. We brought 10 token for a £10. Farm animals and zoo all look we looked after too. They also had lots of ground space too.

  • 5/5 Paul R. 1 year ago on Google
    A magnificent place for young kids and maybe even better for the adults! The range of animals is incredible and there's a lot of other things to do - including a lot to do indoors, which is good on rainy days. Also good for rainy days is the current 'Free return visit offer', which allows you to visit again within seven days for free (well, it was good apart from a bizarre argument with the girl at the entrance, whose first instinct was to not honour it despite us doing everything right). Check the website to see whether that offer is available and how to claim it. There are good food options, including the burgers.

  • 5/5 Paula B. 8 months ago on Google
    We had a really great day out with our 3 yr old nephew and 7yr old niece. There are so many animals to see and lots of things for the little ones to do. The seagulls were annoying for those people that were eating outside, we had our lunch in the picnic barn. There is an awesome shop with so much choice of merchandise.

  • 5/5 Melanie 9 months ago on Google
    Absolutely fantastic. Easy to find and such a lot to see and do. Had never been before and our grandsons had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Definitely no hesitation in recommending.
