School holidays are for family adventures, trying something new, and getting outside in the fresh air!
If you’ve never visited us before, you’ll find our Care Farm just off Five Mile Lane in Barry. There’s plenty of parking, and we are a Farm setting, so please remember to wear suitable shoes and clothing.
When you visit, you’ll be able to play in our outdoor park, see our little fluffy animals in the Animal Centre, say hello to our larger animals in the outdoor paddocks, and explore our beautiful semi-ancient woodland. There are trails to discover, wildlife to spot, and a seasonal trail to try to solve!
Farm Visits
Farm visits begin at 10am every day and we ask all visitors to be offsite by 4:30pm. Entry to the Farm (when pre-booked) costs £5.50 per person including a donation, or £5 per person without a donation. We also offer group tickets for 4 people at discounted prices.
The money we receive from ticket sales goes back into helping us run the GROW programme for local teenagers, take care of our animals, and keep the Farm open for everyone to enjoy.

Share The Love With The Small Animals
During this 30 minute activity, children will get the chance to meet and interact with some of our smaller fluffy animals. A member of our Animal Care Team will lead the session and children will be able to hold and stroke some of our small animals. They’ll have the chance to ask questions and learn all about these little cute creatures.
Meet the Small Animals is an ideal introduction to animals, especially if you are considering getting a pet. Being with animals is a great way to build confidence and relax.
Please note: This activity is aimed at children over the age of 4 years old. Children must be accompanied by an adult, but adults will not need a ticket for the Meet the Small Animals session but everyone visiting the Farm will need an entrance ticket.
