Ouseburn Farm

A large family adventure park combining farm animals, animal encounters, indoor soft play, outdoor play structures, family rides, tractor rides, go-karts and seasonal activities. General admission includes the principal rides, play areas and animal attractions. The park opens daily during school holidays but normally closes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays during the quieter off-peak season.

A relaxed countryside destination with a free family-friendly animal corner, garden nursery, gift shop and lakeside tearoom. Meet alpacas, a Shetland pony, pygmy goats, birds and rescued donkeys, explore the lakeside surroundings, browse the plants and gifts, or stop for homemade food and drinks. Animal visits are free of charge. Paid alpaca walks and seasonal events are also available separately.

A museum, reconstructed Anglo-Saxon village and working heritage farm exploring the life and times of Bede. Families can see rare-breed animals, explore historical buildings and use nearby Drewitts Park. Allow at least half a day. These are the regular term-time hours; the museum also opens on Tuesdays and Wednesdays during school holidays and closes for part of winter.
