These are all different days out depending on what you are looking for. White Post Farm and Twycross Zoo are further to travel to and much busier, full days out. Matlock Farm is only 10 minutes away but is smaller and makes for a quieter day out.
Has a varied selection of animals to see, with the opportunity to feed the young lambs at certain times of the year.
