What You'll Find

Fermanagh Fun Farm is so much more than your average petting farm. Home to over 150 rescued and adopted animals, every visit is packed with interactive experiences that little adventurers absolutely love.

Children can feed friendly goats, sheep, alpacas, donkeys and many more animals, cuddle rabbits and guinea pigs during the pet handling sessions, and even enjoy pony grooming and pony walking. One of the highlights is the little train ride to visit the larger animals, always a favourite with younger visitors.

There's also an indoor play area, outdoor playground, role play area and plenty of picnic space, so it's easy to spend several hours here.

For The Grown Ups

Parents will love the relaxed atmosphere. The café serves hot drinks, lunches, traybakes and ice cream, making it the perfect place to recharge while the children play.

What makes this farm extra special is its mission. It's a not-for-profit social enterprise that provides lifelong homes for rescued animals while supporting education and volunteering opportunities within the local community. It really is a place you can feel good about supporting.

Why We Loved It

✅We loved how interactive the whole experience was. Rather than simply walking around looking at animals, children are encouraged to get involved, feeding, stroking, grooming and learning all about the animals along the way.

✅The variety of activities means there's always something happening, and the combination of animals, play areas and train ride makes it fantastic value for a family day out.

Wee Adventurers Top Tips

⭐ Wear old shoes or wellies if there's been rain, the farm can get muddy.

⭐ Arrive early so you don't miss any of the scheduled animal experiences.

⭐ Bring a picnic if the weather is nice, although the café is well worth a visit too.

⭐ Keep an eye on their social media for seasonal events like Easter, Halloween and Christmas, they're hugely popular and often sell out.

⭐ Allow at least 3–4 hours to enjoy everything without rushing.

Overall Verdict

Fermanagh Fun Farm is one of those attractions that offers something for every member of the family. It's educational, interactive, welcoming and packed with activities that keep children entertained from the moment they arrive until it's time to head home.

If your little adventurers love animals, this is an absolute must-visit when you're exploring County Fermanagh.
