Wonderful experience for the whole family! - Absolutely fantastic experience for the whole family! The alpacas were gorgeous and everyone loved them. They were so friendly and you had an opportunity to feed them. It lasted 1.5 hrs which gave you a lovely unrushed experience, and very reasonably priced. The staff were lovely and informative. You stop at a drinks snacks wagon along the way and its a peaceful lovely setting to relax. Limited numbers so no overcrowding. Very well organised and highly recommend visiting. We will be back.
