Venue Description

Folly Farm is a fun-filled family day out in the heart of Pembrokeshire in beautiful South Wales. With four different zones available there is something for everyone to enjoy – whether young or young at heart! Winners of numerous awards, the zoo is home to penguins, African lions, eastern black rhino and Wales’ only giraffes. Alongside the zoo sits the ever-popular Jolly Barn with all your favourite farmyard friends and not forgetting the piggery and land train tractor ride plus the ever-popular Cwtch Corner and the opportunity to meet some furry friends during one of their meet and greet sessions! There is also a magical indoor vintage fairground and a whole host of indoor and outdoor adventure play areas. With around 50% of attractions being undercover there’s plenty to see and do whatever the weather.
