On Saturday we visited Staunton Country Park, we have been before and spent a day walking around the park and the gardens and feeding the animals, there is even a hedged maze.
This time we only had a few hours to spend, we came armed with buckets and bought some animal feed at the entrance. My boys both enjoyed feeding the animals, the pigmy goats are my sons favourites.
During our visit we saw, stroked and sometimes fed, alpacas, a variety of goats and pigmy goats, deer, pigs, llamas, cows, donkeys, peacocks, sheep, rabbits, ferrets, a lot of chickens, guinea pigs, ponies and turkeys.
Whilst it's not always there, this week there were some Donkeys from Hayling Island that children could ride for an additional £3 charge. The organisers were very friendly any my youngest son (2) absolutely loved it.
Staunton is a working farm, but you can get up close an personal with the animals, there is a gated area that you can go in so you aren't always feeding through fences, although you have to be careful with young children as the goats are quite insistent at getting any buckets of food taken in. There is both an indoor and outdoor play area, that both boys love, a cafe with indoor/outdoor seating and a nice selection of cakes. I would definitely recommend a visit to Statunton Country Park if the opportunity arises.
