About White Post Farm
White Post Farm & Zoo at Farnsfield, on the edge of Sherwood Forest around 16 miles north of Nottingham, is one of the biggest animal days out in the county, home to more than 3,000 animals. Alongside farmyard favourites such as pigs, goats and sheep, children can meet deer, wallabies, meerkats, reptiles, birds of prey, armadillos and tortoises, with animal fields and barns to wander around. The play offering is just as strong: The Jungle Barn indoor play area is ideal for smaller children and houses the Jungle Cafe, while outdoors there is a sledge run, trampolines, pedal go-karts and a go-kart track, Merv's Lookout, Sky Jumpers and The Beach sand-play area. Seasonal events including a Pumpkin Festival and Christmas experiences run through the year. The farm is open daily from 10am to 5pm with some seasonal variation, so check the website before visiting. There is on-site parking with disabled bays near the entrance, toilets and catering, and tickets can be booked online or bought on arrival - booking ahead is sensible at busy times.
