Farms or Zoo's near rugby?

[jackieglyn]

Hi,

I live in Rugby and its my daughters 1st Birthday this weekend, i want to take her to a farm or zoo not to far away any ideas???

Twycross Zoo or the City Farm in Coventry?

Hatton Country World is near Warwick - its own website seems to be down at the moment, give them a ring to make sure they're still open.

thank you for your suggestions, Squarer have you been to City Farm in Coventry before? is it any good?

Cotswold Wildlife park and Cotswold farm park are a bit further (both different places)

I haven't actually been - I just used to work in Coventry a couple of summers ago so became aware of it's existence!
their website
photos of some of the inmates!

second vote for Hatton - love it

Ash End House Children's Farm

Broomey Croft Children's Farm

are both within a reasonable distance of Rugby.

I have to say that I found Hatton very over-priced for what it was, although I know other people who have enjoyed it. There's a reasonable amount of things to see there, but it's pricey - about £9 each from memory, including children from the age of 2.

Hatton is the same company as Willows Farm in Herts - maybe the prices are a reflection of that, anyway Willows Farm is v popular.

(Website have been redesigned btw - that'll be why it was down.)
