Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo

Begelly, Wales, United Kingdom

---

Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo is a multi-award-winning family attraction located in Begelly, near Kilgetty in Pembrokeshire, Wales, United Kingdom, that combines a zoo with adventure play areas, a vintage fairground, and a farm experience.

Established in 1988 from a small viewing gallery over a milking parlour, it has grown into Wales' largest paid-for attraction with 120 acres of fun. The zoo houses over 750 animals from more than 90 different species, including magnificent African lions, the only giraffes in Wales, critically endangered Eastern black rhinos (one of only seven UK zoos caring for them), penguins, lemurs, meerkats, red pandas, sloths, and Bactrian camels.

The attraction was voted 10th Best Zoo in the World in 2017 and holds a five-star TripAdvisor rating with a Travellers' Choice award. Visitors can meet farmyard friends like pigs, ponies, sheep, donkeys, goats, and rabbits in the Jolly Barn, where Folly Farm is the only Welsh farm park approved by the Rare Breed Survival Trust for conserving rare livestock breeds.

The indoor Vintage Fairground features Europe's largest undercover collection of 18 lovingly restored classic rides including the Golden Gallopers and Dodgems, while eight adventure play areas offer options like the Pirate Play centre with life-size pirate ships. The park opens daily from 10am to 5pm and also includes an adjacent five-star Holiday Park with luxury lodges, safari tents, and touring pitches for family breaks.
