The award-winning Ark Open Farm is nestled in the scenic countryside of Newtownards

Set in forty acres of unspoiled countryside, The Ark Farm is home to around 200 animals. At The Ark Farm, we’re more than just a working farm focused on our animal’s welfare – we’re a place where children can immerse themselves in hands-on experiences from bottle-feeding lambs, and feeding real Reindeer through to exploring our fairy and dinosaur lands and burning off energy at our extensive play areas. 

Whether you’re visiting for a school trip, a birthday party, or a family outing, our farm provides a safe and engaging environment to connect with nature. Don’t forget to grab a bite to eat at our Cottage Café for a hearty homemade meal, coffee or snack.
