On the hilly fringes of East Belfast nestles this child-friendly petting farm where wee ones can bottle feed lambs, cuddle puppies and bunnies and get up close to all sorts of adorable farmyard friends. Tractor rides showcase wonderful views across nearby Stormont and stop off so passengers can feed the resident red deer. Watch the sheepdogs navigate their obstacle course and gaze in wonder as the herd of cattle head for milking. Outdoor and indoor play areas ensure fun whatever the weather, and party rooms make for great birthdays. Bring your own picnic or visit the cafe where 'cow to cone' Streamvale ice cream is churned and served on site. En-suite Glamping pods with hot tubs and kitchenettes complete with coffee machines provide a countryside retreat just minutes from the city.
