Our goat feeding experiences take place in Spring and Summer subject to availability of goat kids.
We’re sorry but we don’t sell gift vouchers for these experiences as they’re only available for such a short period of time.
Can I bottlefeed a goat at Folly Farm? Yes you can!
Enhance your day out at Folly Farm with our goat feeding experience – a one-off experience that includes a cuddly toy and a personalised certificate! If you purchase day entry with your goat feeding experience you can save £s on our standard admission prices with our special £15 discounted experience day ticket.
What happens on a goat feeding experience?
It’s an exclusive opportunity to get up close to our goat kids, make up their bottles of milk and bottle feed them. You’ll be accompanied by a Jolly Farmer, and you’ll be standing inside our central farm animal pen in our Jolly Barn.
You’ll be welcomed by one of our Jolly Farmers and after a short briefing you’ll enter the pen. Our Jolly Farmers will provide you with bottles of pre-prepared milk and you’ll then give our goats their feed! Get ready to welcome some bouncy, hungry kids and prepare yourselves for what may be a messy feed – spilt milk and, because these babies aren’t potty trained, maybe even a bit of wee and goat poo! A change of clothes is advisable and hand washing will be supervised by our Jolly Farmer before you go off to enjoy the rest of your day.
This is also your chance to ask our expert animal care staff all about our goat herd. What milk do we feed them? How long is a goat kid a kid?
Your experience will last at least 20 minutes. It includes a souvenir cuddly toy goat and a certificate signed by your Jolly Farmer to take home so you can remember your special day.
Important: Pregnant women, or anyone who thinks they could be pregnant, should not take part in the experience or be the supervising adult. Washing your hands when coming into contact with animals is incredibly important, our Jolly Farmers will supervise you washing your hands after taking part in a goat feeding experience.

My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her goat feeding experience. The Folly Farmer was kind and willing to answer our many questions about the goats. The true stars of the experience were the goats themselves they were cheeky, fun and naughty all at the same time! Plenty of time was given to meet and pet the goats. Would definitely book this experience again. It was so much fun and great value for money.

A fabulous experience! My daughter loved making the milk mixture and had so much fun feeding the goats! She got to feed 4 of them and loved learning their names! Levi was her favourite! Thank you so much! The zoo keeper was really friendly and helpful too! My 2 year old little boy loved watching and was able to stroke the goats whilst my daughter fed them!

My daughter (9) and son (5) did the goat feeding experience this week and it was the best! They made up the bottles, learned their names and had time for a play and pictures. We initially thought it would be feeding 1 goat each but it was 4 each based on the group we were with, so this was a wonderful surprise!

The whole goat feeding experience was lovely. Sophie was so kind and took three adults turning up with no children in her stride! We thoroughly enjoyed feeding all the babies. We were amused to get certificates and cuddly goat toys at the end, mine is pinned to my kitchen noticeboard in pride of place!

The experience was excellent. We have been to one else where and this beats them hands-down. My son enjoyed every minute of it including making their bottle. He found it funny with them climbing all over over him and trying to eat anything they could on him and on me! He found it really funny running round with the goats and them chasing him. Thank you.

My 3 year twins loved the goat feeding experience, especially the prepping of their bottles. They fed quite a few of the goats between them but had two particular favourites who they wanted to keep feeding. Highly recommend. I’ve forgotten the farmer’s name but such a lovely lady, very informative and friendly. Thank you.

We did the goat experience with our two children. Our 5 year old son is in a wheelchair with complex needs. The experience was brilliant. The Jolly Farmer went above and beyond to make it an event that both our kids could enjoy. Our son was smiling and really engaging with the goats, that is all down to the lady and how she managed the experience. Thank you.

My daughter had the best time doing this experience! It’s so hands on from preparing the goats’ milk to then getting to feed not one but six of the baby goats! Would highly recommend doing this if your child, like mine, is goat obsessed, she hasn’t stopped talking about it, telling everyone she can. A special thank you to Kim for being the best keeper to show Pipes the goats.

Kim was a fab handler. She explained all about what we were going to do and why. She was fab with my six year old who was a little nervous of the bouncy goats. It was wonderful being able to hold the goats, make the bottles and share the experience with my family.
No question was too much for her, and we even managed a chat about folly farm holiday park, which we are staying at.

Perfect day for all. I was a bit apprehensive hadn’t been to Folly Farm since I was a child thought a few hours and we’d be home needing to try and fill a day. And my goodness how wrong was I, we spent all day there! Absolutely loads to do! Reasonably priced to get in and also activities when there weren’t expensive. Really enjoyed perfect for my 8 year old and 9 month old! Memories made.

We booked the goat feeding experience for our seven year old and I have to say it was brilliant. She got chance to make up a bottle of milk to experience how it is made and then feed the group of baby goats one by one and got to fuss them all. The Jolly Farmer had no end of time for our daughter’s questions and was an inspiration. She really made the experience special and educational. Thank you!

The experience was well worth paying for. The Jolly Farmer was wonderful and patient. She was engaging and went above and beyond to ensure our experience was enjoyable.

What a fab experience! Kim did so well interacting with my little girl who wasn’t too sure on the experience as she got a bit shy. Didn’t expect to make bottles too which was a lovely little surprise. Hygiene is clearly taken seriously too, which is always reassuring.

I absolutely adore goats so this experience was perfect for me! Every single goat had a unique personality and were hilarious jumping around and doing zoomies. I’d recommend this to anyone and only advice would be to wear clothes you don’t mind getting a bit dirty because they have no idea of personal space and loved chewing on my jacket. Olive was our favourite goat!

Lovely staff member doing the experience. My daughter Sienna took part and she really enjoyed it. This was the first time the goats were being fed by the public, and it was amazing. The goats were gentle, and so funny, one even jumped on my partner’s shoulders when he leant down by the hay bale! Would highly recommend the experience to anyone, great value for money and a fantastic addition!
