Out on the farm Ferry Farm Park You'll find an educational and enjoyable fun day out for all the family at Ferry Farm Park. Set in the beautiful Trent Valley countryside the farm has two barns full of friendly animals. You can bottle feed lambs in spring, or hold a Kune Kune piglet, or a rabbit. Around the park youll find miniature ponies, the donkey family, rare breed sheep, and the largest ox in Britain - Arnie! Adventure playgrounds, zip lines, go karts, trampolines and large new indoor play area will further entertain the kids. And the first class tea room offers a wide range of home made food, from cream teas to lunch for all the family. Sherwood Forest Farm Park Located within 27 acres of countryside Sherwood Forest Farm Park is home to more than 30 different rare breeds of farm animals and several other more unusual species such as water buffalo, kune kune pigs and even wallabies. Among the many facilities at the farm park are a tearoom, gift shop and picnic spots (weather permitting), play areas for all age groups (including ball pools and a bouncy castle), beautiful water gardens and an impressive bird enclosure. White Post Farm Centre Crowned Visitor Attraction of the Year (over 100,000 visitors) in the East Midlands Tourism Excellence in England Awards 2005, White Post Farm Centre offers a great day out for all of the family. Come along and make friends with over 3,000 animals – from the instantly recognisable to the more unusual (including meerkats, reptiles, llamas and bats). And, of course, there are always lots of baby animals to see and hold! For refreshments during your visit, the burger barn and tea rooms offer hot or cold food and there are plenty of areas for picnics. And the kids will love the two play areas; a large indoor area including an Indoor Sledge Run – 60ft long! - and a new outdoor area featuring trampolines and a go-kart track.
