I found this a magical experience and something that I will remember. I am severely psych impaired now and so getting up close is my only real way of connecting with the animals. I’m hoping to come back to do both the giraffe and the lions thank you Folly Farm I loved it.

Absolutely incredible! Kim was lovely and very knowledgeable and the rhinos all seemed very happy and relaxed. Collected from meeting point promptly and not rushed through the experience allowing us time to enjoy being with the rhinos. Plenty of carrots to share between us and a lovely cuddly toy as a momento to take away. Couldn’t have asked for more.

Our rhino experience was absolutely amazing. The keeper was very friendly and knowledgeable and on our personal toor behind the scenes we were able to feed the rhinos carrots and give them lots of scratches. We learnt so much about them and had a real insight into their individual characters. I didn’t know just how adorable rhinos actually are. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough.

I booked this as a gift for my partner and I cannot praise the staff (and Rhinos) enough! We loved getting so close to the rhinos and being able to feed them.

We were not rushed at any point and he made every effort for us to have the best experience – which we definitely did!
