Meet The Animals

Meet Our Farm & Exotic Animals

Come to Finkley Down Farm year-round for a farm-tastic day out! Meet our many farmyard friends living in their happy homes. Enjoy an exotic experience at the Reptile Encounters, gaze at the giant tortoises and marvel at the meerkats. Be bold with the birds of prey, say hello to a hawk and look in awe at the owls. As you explore Finkley, you can touch, feed and learn all about the different animals, birds and breeds.

Check-out our ‘Today On The Farm’ blackboards and join us for a fun range of seasonal, hands-on activities with our adorable animals. From grooming the ponies, stroking the rabbits or cheering on the sheep and goats as they race around the track, to greeting the birds of prey up close and seeing their flying display in the Summer months.

Caring For The Animals

Farmer Charlie and his family opened the doors of Finkley Down Farm to the public back in 1981 and we were one of the first ever farm parks in the country. Today you can meet not only farm animals but exotic animals and birds of prey. Our qualified team of passionate specialists work throughout the year to make sure that all the animals, reptiles and birds living at Finkley are given the care and attention that they need to stay happy and healthy. We are very proud to carry the responsibility that our farm and zoo licensing demands of us.
