Had a brilliant day! The keepers are extremely knowledgeable and very approachable to answer any questions you may have about the animals. Special shout out to Melissa! We had a Capybara encounter and she was super friendly. Made the day one to remember. The whole park was great value for money and really interactive as you can feed many of the animals. Would 100% recommend!

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children aged 1 to 10 who want close contact with animals rather than just viewing them through barriers. Toddlers thrive on the Silver pass; children old enough for tractor rides get more from the Gold pass. Knowledgeable keepers make every encounter educational without feeling scripted.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Choose Silver pass for toddlers under 2, Gold pass for children who will enjoy the tractor ride and enhanced meet-and-greets
⏰Book capybara and owl encounters in advance as they fill quickly
🎟️Arrive early for lunch as the cafe is small and gets busy mid-session
πŸš—Ask keepers questions freely β€” they are consistently praised for approachability

β€œβ­οΈβ­οΈβ­οΈβ­οΈβ­οΈ We visited Greenacres Animal Park as a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children) and had the best day out! The kids (and us adults!) loved seeing such a wide variety of animals – from alpacas to axolotls, and from talking parrots to towering camels. There’s so much to see and do. The highlight for us was the animal meet and greet, where we got to see and stroke ferrets, skunks, guinea pigs, and even owls – the children were absolutely thrilled. The food was reasonably priced, tasty, and came out really quickly, which was a big bonus with little ones. All of the staff were so friendly and helpful, providing excellent customer service throughout – whether it was the ladies running the meet and greet, those at reception, or the team in the cafΓ©. We highly recommend Greenacres for a fun, family-friendly day out. We’ll definitely be back!”

β€œWe LOVE Greenacres. We decided to come see Santa too, the elves were incredibly welcoming, gave us information about the animals and really made the experience special for our son. Santa was THE BEST! He was so engaging and made our little man laugh, had him chatting about toys. 100% the best place we'll always be lifelong visitors of Greenacres. Thanks for making our sons Christmas visit so special!”
