About Woodlands Alpaca Farm
Woodlands Alpaca Farm is a hands-on family petting farm at Thelwall, just outside Warrington, that has been voted a number-one family day out locally. The emphasis here is on getting close to the animals: visitors can meet and pet alpacas, donkeys, goats, chickens, guinea pigs and a miniature horse, and seasonal alpaca walks let families spend more time with the farm's gentle residents. A farm shop serves light refreshments, there are toilets on site, and a free car park with good access makes arriving easy. The farm is a designated green social prescribing site, part of NHS-supported nature activities, and staff are known for accommodating visitors with additional needs, so it is a welcoming place for a wide range of families. Opening is daily 10am to 4pm during school and bank holidays and Thursday to Sunday 10am to 4pm at other times. Admission is charged and booking is required, either online or by phone, with prices confirmed at the time of booking. Please note dogs are not permitted, to keep the resident animals calm. It makes a friendly, animal-focused outing for families with younger children near Warrington.
