It’s been a really busy few months around here , with lots of changes happening in the background 😊
We’ve also had lots of new arrivals, time to introduce a couple… starting with Katie 🥰
Katie had a very rough arrival , with us needing to assist one of our miniature white Galloway cows . After spending some time trying to convince her mum that she really was quite cute , her mum was showing no interest in her at all , so in her best interests the decision was made to get her warmed up and fed.
We decided Katie needed a wee friend , so Bella Belty has also joined us 😍

We’ve had lots of messages asking when we will be reopening, we’re pleased to say our doors will be opening again on Sat 9th Sept and Sun 10th , 10am-3 pm .
For the next couple of weeks we will be opening Sat/Sun only ( due to other commitments) , we will extend the hours again as time allows 😃

Thank you all for your continued support , we look forward to seeing you soon for some cuddles , pats and hand feeding with our furry and fluffy friends 🥰

Just a Reminder that we have CLOSED temporarily for a Winter break 😎 Wee Ducky loved having a wee dip yesterday in the sunshine 😃 Growing like a wee mushroom! Looking forward to seeing you all again soon, when it warms up! Have a fabulous long weekend 🥰

Daisy Loves having some fun in the Sprinkler on these Hot days!! We've decided to change our hours for Feb slightly, to try and beat some of the extreme heat for the Animals, so we will Open an hour earlier and Close an hour earlier 😎 Updated Feb Hours : Monday 9am-1pm Tuesday CLOSED Wednesday CLOSED Thurday 9am-1pm Friday 9am-2pm Saturday 9am-3pm Sunday 9am-3pm Hope everyone is have a Fantastic Long Weekend 😃

A few of you have been asking how Daisy is doing?? So I thought I would share some Piggy Love! She hasn't grown much, and is teeny compared to her siblings! But what she lacks in size, she sure makes up for with her Sass!! She is such a hard case, and has stolen a piece of every ones hearts! Even our Little Dog Tiggy absolutely adores her, they have a really special wee bond 🥰 #skiptonanimalpark #piggylove #daisythepig

Sorry , but we will be CLOSED tomorrow Friday 20th May. The forecast is looking awful and priority is going to be keeping all the animals snuggled and tummies full 🥰 Hopefully weather is better for Sat/Sun. Our Birthday celebrations continue this weekend, Complimentary Llama Cookie Drama Cookies to all visitors, and Sunday we will have Face Painting and Free Pony Rides for 2-8 year olds :) Remember to keep the votes going for our Baby Llama , voting closes tomorrow night 😁

Happy Monday Everyone! Thought I would jump on here quickly and update how we are effected with NZ moving into Red , under our Traffic Light System! As we are predominantly outside and have plenty of space for visitors to enjoy Fresh air and sunshine safely, the main changes for us from Orange to Red is gathering sizes, which we will continue to maintain! We have added some additional cleaning to our regime, to ensure we minimise any additional risk to visitors. As in Orange, Please continue to wear masks in Shop/entry area, Sign in, sanitise and wash hands , and where necessary , maintain social distancing with other groups. Everyone remains welcome, so If you prefer to visit with a group of your choosing (no group too small) ,outside of our normal hours, we will do our best to make this happen. Come on out and give Chubby a scratch on his tummy 😍 Open 10am-4pm daily till the 30th (weather Permitting!) Take care, stay safe! Our furry and feathered family are ready and waiting to make you Smile ! 🥰
