Feeding the goats at Monk Park Farm park in Yorkshire
Monk Park Farm park in Yorkshire welcomes Schools and Groups

You can meet so many of our favourites whether you’re stroking the guinea pigs and rabbits, feeding the lambs or petting the baby goats (subject to availability and restrictions).

You can also get up close with the wallabies, deer and alpacas as you take a barrel ride through their fields!

We have a 1 mile walk around the farm with feed stations (animal feed is available from the shop).

What a lovely day we had despite the rain. Farmer Laura was lovely with the children in the petting barn. Our 5 Yr old grandson had a great time. Lovely time at the Guinea pig tables. Hands on supervised session with chicks. Bottle feeding demonstration with the woolie wearing lambs! Lots if goats to feed too. Shame it was raining so much as there is lots of fun play outside. Lovely cafe. We will be back on a sunny day! Lovely clean child friendly attraction. Lots of clean handwashing sinks and soap in the petting barn.

There is so much to do here for children and adults. The petting barn is amazing and the kids get to hold baby chicks and feed the animals. Even when the ground is wet you can s have a great day out. Downside today was the food which was a let down. In October the quality was outstanding with beer battered fish and chips, plus the kids meal was really good quality. Today it was a tinned hotdog in a dry bin with fries. The burgers were quite average and not what you woukd expect for a farm. The coffees were good though
