Jimmy’s Farm & Wildlife Park, Suffolk
Get ready for a fantastic day out in the Suffolk countryside as we visit the award-winning Jimmy’s Farm & Wildlife Park, created by television presenter and conservationist Jimmy Doherty and his wife Michaela.
What began as a derelict farm has grown into an impressive wildlife attraction that's home to more than 100 different animal species and breeds. From traditional farmyard favourites to some truly extraordinary wildlife, there’s far more to discover here than you might expect!
From Polar Bears to Pigs!
One of the biggest attractions is the incredible variety of animals.
Explore the park and come face-to-face with everything from pigs, sheep and other British rare breeds to capybaras, tapirs, camels, meerkats, reptiles and exotic wildlife.
Among the real stars are the park’s magnificent polar bears, with Jimmy’s Farm home to Europe’s largest polar bear reserve. You can also look out for rescued brown bears, Arctic wolves, Arctic foxes, lions and tigers as you make your way around the park.
Be sure to visit Lion Lake, an impressive viewing area where you can enjoy fantastic views across the water towards the resident lions.
Throughout your visit there may also be opportunities to enjoy scheduled animal talks and activities, giving you the chance to learn more about the animals and the important conservation work taking place at the park.
More Than a Wildlife Park
There’s plenty more to explore away from the animal enclosures too.
Take a leisurely wander through the woodland, discover the gardens and orchards or simply find a peaceful spot to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
Families are particularly well catered for, with adventure play areas, den building and giant bouncy pillows providing plenty of opportunities for younger visitors to burn off some energy.
Food, Farm Shop & Shopping
When it’s time for something to eat, Jimmy’s Farm offers a variety of food and drink options.
The beautiful 200-year-old converted barn is home to The Barn Restaurant & Coffee House, serving a selection of meals, drinks and cakes, while additional seasonal food outlets can be found around the attraction.
Before heading home, don't forget to browse the Farm Shop and other retail areas, where you'll find locally sourced produce, gifts and treats.
With wildlife, conservation, countryside, shopping and great food all in one destination, Jimmy’s Farm & Wildlife Park offers a wonderfully varied day out for adults, families and animal lovers alike.
Sit back, relax and let Richard Taylor Travel take care of the driving!
