Noahs Ark Farm Zoo

A great day out with picnic areas, and a small food court that caters to Gluten-Free people with a large choice of foods. Noah's Ark Zoo is large so not easy for those with mobility issues unless they have a wheelchair, However, Noah's Ark offers the use of free standard wheelchairs on a first come first served basis and also offers the use of mobility scooters for £10.00 per day ( booked in advance ). The staff is great and always happy to help. There is a disabled toilet on site which is close to the entrance/exit of the park that when I visited was clean, the only issue was I could see no emergency cord should you need assistance, ( pictured below ) aside from that Noah's Ark Zoo was a fabulous day out and I would recommend a visit. Carers have free entrance to the park.

Great first visit

I looked on the website before I arrived and used the accessible map to plan our day. The route worked well as we got to see all the animals. The elephants were my favourite. The paths are gravel but it was easy enough to get around and there were lots of benches to stop for a rest on. I was impressed by the animal signs that were really clear and easy to read for the children. All staff said hello whilst we were walking around which was nice!
