Alpaca Experience
Enjoy an exclusive 60 minutes with our adorable alpacas. Experience getting to know our alpacas and taking in the views over beautiful Gentleshaw Common during a leisurely stroll with the alpacas.
During your exclusive meet with our alpacas you will learn from our knowledgeable keepers where alpacas originate from and what conditions they face in the wild. You will be able to feed the alpacas and feel how super soft their woolly coats are.
Once you have served up their favourite dish and they have happily munched away at it, then it’s time to get them walking!
Take the alpacas on a walk overlooking Gentleshaw Common, stopping on occasions to take that all-important photo snap. Take unlimited photos to share with your friends and family and look back on the day you became an alpaca handler!
This experience includes :
- Unlimited photo opportunities
- Opportunity to learn all about our alpacas
