Babies and Young Children
We want families with babies and young children to feel comfortable, supported and welcome throughout their visit. We provide a range of family-friendly facilities across the zoo, including feeding and changing areas, accessible pathways and spaces designed especially for younger visitors. Whether you’re visiting with a newborn, toddler or young family, our aim is to make your day out as relaxed and enjoyable as possible.
Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm is proud to be a breastfeeding-friendly site. Parents are welcome to feed their babies wherever they feel comfortable across the zoo.
We simply ask that due to the potential risks of zoonitic disease transfer that feeding does not take place in animal contact areas. These areas are clearly marked. For those who prefer a quieter or more private space, we have a dedicated baby room with a comfortable chair for breastfeeding or bottle feeding. This room is located near the under 5s soft play area.
We also offer the following facilities to help make your visit easier:
- Microwave available in our Food Barn for warming baby food
- Jugs of hot water available on request at the café counter (these are kept behind the counter for safety)
- Baby changing facilities in all toilets, except the men's toilets nearest the café
- Accessible toilets with baby changing units
- Pram and wheelchair-friendly paths across most of the site
- Indoor soft play area for under 5s, with a dedicated space for under 2s
If you’re visiting with a toddler, you might also enjoy our popular Parent and Toddler sessions, Safari Tots, held twice a week during term time- perfect for little explorers!
If you have any questions ahead of your visit or need support on the day, our friendly team is always happy to help.
