Surrounded by sweeping countryside and expansive island views, Tapnell Farm Park is one of the Isle of Wight’s most popular family attractions—an exciting, friendly, and adventure-filled destination where visitors of all ages can get closer to animals, enjoy hands-on play, and immerse themselves in the spirit of rural life.

Set on a former dairy farm with a stunning backdrop of rolling fields and big open skies, the park combines outdoor adventure with indoor activities, making it a brilliant choice in any weather. From the moment you arrive, Tapnell Farm Park offers a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere that invites families to explore at their own pace.

Animal lovers can meet a wide range of friendly residents, including meerkats, wallabies, goats, donkeys, alpacas, and the ever-popular highland cows. Daily talks and feeding sessions bring the experience to life, giving children the chance to learn more about the animals and interact with them in safe, engaging environments.

For active adventurers, the park delivers plenty of excitement. Kids can burn off energy in the huge indoor play barn with slides, soft play, and climbing features, or head outside to tackle bouncy pillows, adventure playgrounds, pedal go-karts, and farming-themed fun zones. The park’s spacious layout means there’s always something new to discover around each corner, from jumping pillows swaying under the sunshine to imaginative play areas buzzing with laughter.

Younger visitors will love the dedicated spaces designed just for them, while older children and grown-ups can join in the action or simply relax and soak up the countryside charm. Families can also enjoy the stunning Straw Bale Adventure Barn, quirky photo spots, and plenty of picnic areas that make the park perfect for a full day out.

Delicious food is never far away, with the award-winning Cow Restaurant next door offering hearty meals, burgers, and island-sourced dishes—ideal for refuelling after a day of adventure.
