Hi Jane
ooh sounds a great article, we love to take Holly to Hesketh Farm Park at Bolton Abbey North Yorkshire, a super family day out and very family/baby orientated. You can touch, hold and be involved with the animals, watch feedings and help out too, our first visit was when holly was nearly 1 year and it has a lovely picnic area too. Its affordable to get in and pram friendly too. They have an indoor picnic area where you can take your own food too, if you don't want to splash out. We always have a great time there. x
