Folly Farm story:
"We've always been farmers, but we're much more than a farm. You can visit over 750 animals at our zoo, and get up close to furry and feathery farmyard friends in our barn. Choose from 17 different rides in our vintage fairground, or enjoy our nine adventure play areas. We've got 120 acres of fun so there really is something for everyone!" Text Source: (

From the Visit Wales Website:
"Holders of the Best Family Day Out in Wales award, Folly Farm offers four fantastic reasons to visit… a friendly farmyard, spectacular zoo, enormous vintage funfair and an imaginative range of indoor and outdoor adventure play!
Set in the stunning Pembrokeshire countryside, Folly Farm is a farm diversification success story. In 1988, this former dairy farm with the same name, opened its doors to the public to demonstrate how its cows were milked. Nearly 25 years on, Folly Farm is one of the top paid-for visitor attractions in Wales and wins awards for it." Text Source: (
