Farmer Parrs Animal World
About
Farmer Parrs Animal World is Lancashire’s premier family‑friendly farm attraction, offering a hands‑on experience that blends traditional farm life with a vibrant museum and a range of activities for visitors of all ages. Once you step onto the paddocks, you’ll meet a wide variety of traditional British breed animals, rare exotic species and farm‑yard companions that are eager to be pet and fed. The sprawling grounds also feature a full‑size tractor shed, a bouncy‑castle barn for indoor play, a café and a gift shop selling farm‑themed merchandise. The site’s large, colourful museum – the Fylde Country Life Museum – houses over 1 200 objects that trace the region’s agricultural history, from early villagers’ tools to modern farming equipment. Evening and special‑event tickets for meet‑and‑greet Santa visits are available through an online booking system. Whether you’re a school group, a family with children, or a community of nature lovers, Farmer Parrs Airport offers a relaxed, educational outing that encourages visitors to learn about animals, agriculture and sustainable rural living while enjoying day‑to‑day farm life. A visit typically lasts 3–4 hours and is best experienced between late spring and early autumn, when the weather is mild and the farm’s floral displays are in full bloom.
