    About

    Folly Farm is a fun-filled family day out in the heart of Pembrokeshire in beautiful South Wales. With four different zones available including zoo, barn, fairground and play - 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.

    A great day at the zoo for an active wheelchair user..

    This is a venue that has really put some thought into its accessibility to ensure guests with disabilities feel as comfortable and as safe as possible...

    Very good accessibility

    In the main, a wheelchair accessible venue with lots to see and do. The venue obviously has tried their best in making it accessible, but there are a few minor flaws that they may not have noticed.

    Great family day out!

    Completely scooter/wheelchair accessible and I don’t know what it is about Wales but everyone is so helpful and friendly. I was new to my scooter when I visited here and felt a little daunted but after an hour or so I was whizzing around looking at rhinos with my daughter on my lap! Restaurants and cafes are accessible for wheelchair/scooter users as is 99.9% of the whole park. This is a really good day out for all ages and there’s lots to do if the weather is bad. Probably the best animal/play park I’ve been to in the UK 🇬🇧

    Disabled Access Information Provided by Folly Farm

    Disabled Access at Folly Farm

    Folly Farm are now partnered with Nimbus Disability, operators of the widely recognised Access Card scheme. Through this scheme, disabled guests will receive a free Essential Companion admission if awarded a ‘+1’ symbol by Nimbus. This will replace their 'free carer' admission, on proof of disability, from 27 March 2026. Other forms of proof of disability to allow for a free carer place are still accepted but only until March 2026. The registration for a Folly Farm Digital Access Pass is FREE OF CHARGE and please make sure to apply for the Essential Companion ‘+1’ symbol. Standard wheelchairs and mobility scooters are available to hire from the entrance tills. Booking in advance is essential - you can do this online through the access page on the Folly Farm website. A refundable deposit applies for both wheelchair and scooter hire - £10 for a wheelchair and £30 for a mobility scooter. There is also a hire fee of £20 for the mobility scooter. Majority of the park is landscaped paths and ramps - but some areas on the zoo are gravel underfoot, Both the Big Wheel and Land Train rides have a disabled carriage which can accommodate a wheelchair. Staff will always try to help to provide access to fairground rides where possible. Animal experiences are also accessible for wheelchair users with the exception of the sloth feeding experience. Please note that fairground rides are traditionally restored vintage rides and not modern rides so access onto them may need assistance. If a disabled guest is awarded the '+1 Essential Companion' via the Access card from Nimbus then the companion will be able to accompany a disabled guest onto the rides free of charge if required. Please note that a wristband will be required - a paid for wristband for the disabled guest and a companion wristband for the 'carer'.

A fully serviced touring park, small camping field, glamping accommodation including Twiga (giraffe themed) safari tents or quirky Showman's Wagons, There are also a couple of holiday cottages with hot tubs and an array of themed luxury lodges all of varying sizes and themes - all with their own hot tub (from 'Simba' lion themed lodges, fairground lodges, 'Kifaru' rhino themed lodges and sheep themed 'Torwen' and 'Balwen' lodges).
