Ark Open farm is set in forty acres of unspoiled countryside and is home to about 200 different animals, many of whom are rare and endangered species of domestic animals.

You'll get to see tame and friendly pigs and cows, sheep and goats as well as reindeer, llamas and alpacas. You can take a ride on one of their ponies or get cuddly with the rabbits, guinea pigs, pet lamps and kid goats. There's a duck pond, nature and farm walks as well as a pets corner.

The Ark Farm is unique in that it specializes in animals no longer seen in Northern Irelands fields.

When the weather's good they have a special Outdoor Adventure Area; they also use a large indoor playing area for when it's wet.

You'll find all the usual facilities too such as a gift shop, tea room as well as a farm shop.

If you've had fun on your family day out to Ark Open Farm, tell us about it your visit, so other people will know it's a great place to go as well.
