A visit to Glendeer is a fun, interactive experience for all the family, offering the opportunity to feed, pet and even hold some of the animals, which include chicks, deer, pigs, llamas, emu, goats, donkeys, sheep, cows, two cheeky monkeys and much more. There are also several baby animals at Glendeer Pet Farm, including kid goats, rabbits and lambs, and more are arriving every day.
After the children feed the animals, they can play on the slide, swings, seesaws and a very popular zipline, while adults enjoy fresh coffee/tea and home-made treats.
Prepare to be amazed at how friendly all of the animals are as they wander around you looking for food. Each child will get a bag of food to feed the animals as you make your way around the six-acre farm. Why not bring a picnic along to enjoy? But beware of the greedy hens who can spot a picnic bag a mile away and will try to join you.
While visiting the farm, you can also stretch your legs along the unspoiled nature walk, keep your eyes open, and you might just see some fairies along the way.
A visit to Glendeer Pet Farm is guaranteed not to disappoint. With a number of amenities for kids of all ages, from the maze and obstacle course for the older kids to the ball pool and soft play toddler area for the small ones, visitors to Glendeer will find it hard to leave. Thanks to the large animal barn and indoor play area, the farm is suitable for any weather condition.
