Whenever you’re stuck for something to do with the kids, the option of seeing baby animals is always sure to appeal. And at Rumley’s Open Farm, you’ll find plenty of adorable animals while getting a fascinating insight into the working of a farm. 

Just a 20 minute drive from The River Lee hotel, Rumley’s is a working farm with plenty of animals to see, from pigs and cows to far more exotic creatures. You’ll even see water buffalo, alpacas and nubian goats, as well as plenty of exotic birds in the aviary.  

It’s not just animals, either. There are plenty of activities no matter what the weather. If it’s dry, then kids can run out their energy on the zip wires, play a round of mini golf, go on one of two go kart tracks, play badminton or run around the playground. And if the weather isn’t playing ball, they can go in the playzone, with slides and a ball pool, have a go in the sandpit or play Giant Jenga and Connect 4. 

There are plenty of walks you can do, and a picnic area alongisde the main Farm Café. You can even pick up some locally grown goodies at the market shop.
