FOLLY Farm is winner of the Best Day Out in Wales award at the National Tourism Awards Wales and the Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence award for 2016.

Upon entering the park through their brand-new visitor entrance and gift shop, visitors will get a real sense of the magic that awaits them.

Recently rated the 5th Best Zoo in the UK and the 16th Best Zoo in Europe in the TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice awards, Folly Farm's zoo is home to giraffes, penguins, African lions and eastern black rhino. Alongside the zoo sits the ever-popular Jolly Barn with all your favourite farmyard friends, including miniature pigs, ponies, giant rabbits, sheep, donkeys, goats and ferrets and not forgetting the piggery and land train tractor ride plus our ever-popular cwtch corner and the opportunity to milk a goat!

There is also a magical indoor vintage fairground and a whole host of indoor and outdoor adventure play areas. With around 50% of Folly Farm’s attractions being undercover there’s plenty to see and do whatever the weather.

New for 2017 - A fantastic Folly Farm theatre show will be held in the Follies Theatre during the school holidays and there’s the addition of a brand-new show for 2017 called Black Bart’s Pirate Folly, a pantomime style show that will get you shouting "shiver me timbers" with plenty of audience participation and thigh-slapping fun! The ever-popular Luke Jugglestruck will also be back for more hilarious family entertainment. Check out the website to find out show dates.

Also new for this year and in-keeping with the pirate theme, the park has introduced Black Bart’s Pirate Cove, an impressive new playground themed around Pembrokeshire pirate Bartholomew Roberts a.k.a. Black Bart. You can take command of his ship the Royal Fortune and search for treasure in the sandy cove. Go on, play pirate…it’s not just the stuff of legends.
