Kids' Farming & Feeding Alpaca Experiences 

Your children will adore seeing our babies this summer! This experience is for children age 4 to 11 years old. We spend time getting close to the alpacas by feeding them, either with scoops or out of hands - depending on what the young person is comfortable with. We start from behind a fence so the children can build their confidence with the alpacas. We talk about what the alpacas need to keep them healthy and do some of the practical jobs such as raking up old hay and putting fresh hay out. This is a super fun and practical session with the entire focus on the participating children. Supervising adults are very welcome to take photographs of their little ones! 

 

The experience lasts for around 30 to 40 minutes and costs £9 per child. We ask that one adult supervises a maximum of two children. There is no charge for the adult. In busy sessions, we can only allow one adult per two children in to the session. Appropriate footwear (wellies or water proof shoes) and clothing (water-proofs if a chance of rain) are required. Please do not wear open-toe sandals, crocs or flip-flops.

Family or Private Group Experience

This is a private session for you and your family or group, and we will have the chance to see the babies during your visit. We can tailor the session to your needs and interests and spend longer on the things you choose to. For example, if someone has a birthday, they can spend longer handling the alpacas or choose which alpacas we spend more time with. If you are interested in owning alpacas we can discuss more specific elements of farming alpacas and the husbandry jobs required.

The experience takes around 45 to 65 minutes, depending on the group size.

Midday is the available time to book online. Please email info@wolfridgealpaca.co.uk if you are keen to book another time of the day. If you have a larger group and are also considering an afternoon tea or craft workshop, please also email us at info@wolfridgealpaca.co.uk.

We require one adult for every two children age 4 to 12 years old. Unfortunately this experience is not suitable for children aged 3 and under.

Up Close Experience

Get hands on with our lovely alpacas! Depending on what you are comfortable with, you can learn how to hold an alpaca; do basic health checks; look closely and feel for yourself the amazing fibre and feed them out of scoops/your hands.  We also spend some time learning about what makes alpacas special, in terms of both their fibre and the animal itself.  You can ask any questions you might have about alpacas and of course get some fun photos! 

The experience takes around 50 to 60 minutes depending on the size of the group (maximum of 8 people). This Experience is not suitable for children under the age of 10 years old. Please see the Farming & Feeding Experience for younger ones, or book a Family/Private Group Experience.

For this experience the cost is £20 per person.
