Noahs Ark Farm Zoo

A great day out with picnic areas, and a small food court that caters to Gluten-Free people with a large choice of foods. Noah's Ark Zoo is large so not easy for those with mobility issues unless they have a wheelchair, However, Noah's Ark offers the use of free standard wheelchairs on a first come first served basis and also offers the use of mobility scooters for £10.00 per day ( booked in advance ). The staff is great and always happy to help. There is a disabled toilet on site which is close to the entrance/exit of the park that when I visited was clean, the only issue was I could see no emergency cord should you need assistance, ( pictured below ) aside from that Noah's Ark Zoo was a fabulous day out and I would recommend a visit. Carers have free entrance to the park.
