About Woodside Animal Farm and Leisure Park
Woodside Animal Farm and Leisure Park is a family-run attraction at Aley Green on the outskirts of Luton, welcoming visitors since 1974. It pairs a hands-on animal farm with a lively leisure park, so children can get close to the animals and then burn off energy. Animals include llamas, alpacas, goats, sheep, pigs, rheas, donkeys, Shetland ponies, rabbits, guinea pigs, poultry and reptiles, with daily animal handling and demonstrations where children can feed and cuddle them. Beyond the animals there are tractor and trailer rides, a mini funfair, crazy golf, a sledge run, bouncing pillows and plenty of outdoor play, plus a heated indoor soft play centre that keeps the day going in any weather. There is a cafe serving hot and cold food, free parking with disabled bays, and toilets with accessible and baby-change facilities in several locations. Most of the park is wheelchair and pushchair accessible, though the upstairs climbing area is recommended for ages 3-11 only. Dogs are not allowed apart from assistance dogs. Open daily 10am-5pm, with online tickets cheaper than on the gate.
