Learn
It’s a known fact that when a child is happy and having fun, they are more likely to be open to learn and absorb information.
Learning is effortless and easy when you’re doing something you like!
Animals are one of the best ways to open a child’s imagination, sense of care and nurture as well as curiosity about their world. At the Dick Whittington Farm Park we bring children right into a farm environment to allow them to explore, question and experience the life of animals first hand and up close.
Our animals are well cared for and chosen for a friendly disposition that is safe and suitable for proximity to children. We handle our animals regularly to encourage them to be confident and people friendly, giving our visitors the maximum chance to see them, touch them and interact.
Don’t be surprised if your child gets very curious and questioning during and after a visit here!
It’s quite normal to want to know ‘why a rabbit waffles its nose’, or how a cow produces so much milk. We have trained staff always on hand to help answer your questions and provide useful learning material for you and your children.
We realise that many children may not even have a pet or don’t have the opportunity to get close to animals in their normal everyday life. It’s our pleasure to open the doors to learning through fun and first hand experience for you and your child.
