Ever wanted to see lions, rhinos, giraffes or penguins up close? At Folly Farm, you’ll find a world-class zoo with over 90 different species. All in the heart of the Pembrokeshire countryside.
At Folly Farm zoo, you’ll see the only giraffes in Wales, and can look them straight in the eye from the Giraffe Heights walkway. And we’re one of only six zoos in the UK that cares for the critically endangered Eastern black rhino. You can also see zebras, ostriches, Bactrian camels, bongos, lemurs, meerkats, tapirs, Barbary macaques, squirrel monkeys…the list goes on!
You’ll see our aviaries, where all sorts of unusual birds live. You might be familiar with some of them – like parrots, owls, cranes, herons and storks. But what about a kookaburra, turaco or ibis? Or a pair of lovebirds? Sound exotic? Wait till you see them! And at Folly Interactive, you can get a really close look at snakes and tortoises, macaws, armadillos, sloths and fruit bats.
You’ll be literally inches away from all these amazing creatures. You can even feed some of them. And our zoo keepers give regular daily talks to tell you all about them.
