About Us – Monk Park Farm
Nestled in the heart of North Yorkshire, Monk Park Farm is a much-loved, family-friendly attraction where visitors of all ages can get closer to animals, nature and the changing seasons.
We’re proud to be a Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Winner 2025, welcoming thousands of families every year to experience hands-on animal encounters, scenic woodland walks and exciting seasonal events. From feeding goats and cuddling rabbits to exploring our adventure play areas, barrel rides and train, there’s something for everyone.
Our team is passionate about animal welfare and creating memorable days out. We carefully plan activities to be accessible and inclusive, and we’re constantly developing new events, from Lambing Live to our Great Yorkshire Pumpkin Patch and magical Christmas experiences.
Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, Monk Park Farm offers a warm Yorkshire welcome and a full day of fun, learning and fresh air.
