A hands-on family fun farm just outside Enniskillen, where the one ticket covers a whole day — feed the animals, walk and groom the ponies, meet the pets and play indoors and out. Rain or shine, it works.

  • What you'll do — your admission includes a basket of feed for the animals, a pony walking and grooming activity, and a pet-handling session, so the children get right in among the goats, ponies, donkeys, alpacas, cattle and small friendly pets.
  • The play — a big indoor play barn with a soft-play frame and slides, plus a shed full of ride-on pedal tractors, and an outdoor playground and picnic area for when the sun's out. That indoor barn is what makes this a proper rain-or-shine day.
  • How long — most families make a half-day of it; there's enough between the animals, the activities and the play to fill a good few hours.
  • Cost — adult £8.50, child £9.50, under-2 £2 and under-6-months free, with a family of four £32.50 and a family of five £39.50; book online for a discount. Confirm the current rate when you book.
  • Bring — wellies or old shoes for the yards and fields, and a coat whatever the sky's doing. Granny Flo's tearoom does hot food and treats, and there's a picnic area if you'd rather bring your own.
  • Mostly weekends — check the day. The farm runs mainly Saturdays and Sundays, with extended spring, Easter and summer opening, and it closes over winter — so always check the day before you travel.
  • Book online to save. You can usually just turn up and pay on the day, but booking online in advance gets you a discount, and it's worth it for busy days and events.

The story

A farm with a big heart in the Fermanagh hills

Fermanagh Fun Farm sits in the green countryside just outside Lisbellaw, a short run from Enniskillen, and it's a little different from the usual open farm. It's a not-for-profit social enterprise, run with volunteers and staff, and home to more than 150 rescued and adopted animals — goats, ponies, donkeys, alpacas, cattle, poultry and a whole cast of smaller friends, each given a home for life and cared for as a pet.

For families, that heart shows in the day itself. The one ticket gets the children right in among the animals — a basket of feed to hand out, a pony to walk and groom, and a pet-handling session where the small, friendly animals come out for a cuddle. Around it, a big indoor play barn with a soft-play frame, slides and a shed of ride-on pedal tractors keeps everyone going whatever the weather, and an outdoor playground and picnic area open up when the sun's out.

The farm also does quieter, kinder work behind the scenes — offering adults with disabilities real, hands-on training in animal care, hospitality and gardening, working towards proper qualifications. So a family day here does a little more than fill an afternoon: your ticket helps keep the rescued animals fed and the community work going. It's said to be the only proper open farm in Fermanagh, and it's an easygoing, warm-hearted one to spend a day at.
