Features

Hardy’s Animal Farm: Hardy’s Animal Farm is set in over 7 acres of Lincolnshire countryside, just a 10-minute walk from the beach. It offers a great day out with plenty to see and do, including opportunities to meet, feed, and make friends with a wide range of animals, suitable for all weather conditions.
Animals Born All Year: Visitors can see pigs being born in a specially glazed breeding unit, cuddle bunnies, and feed the greedy goats. The farm provides an interactive experience that allows children to learn about modern farming while safely interacting with animals. Lambs, calves, foals, and chicks are born throughout the year.
Keep Entertained: Activities cater to children of all ages. Pitch Fork and Putt provides a competitive game for families, followed by races on the Pony Cycle track. A relaxing Cart Ride around the farm with Fergie the Tractor is also available. Three outdoor play areas are designed for toddlers through teenagers, while the indoor Haystacks Play Barn includes a separate soft play area dedicated to younger children. The café offers hot drinks and light refreshments for adults.
Meet the Animals: A variety of animals large and small await visitors:
- Nursery: Feeding frenzy with fun-loving goats, baby chicks, and sometimes newly hatched ducklings. Ralph and Grumpy Greg, the goats, are always popular.
- Farmyard Friends: Friendly ponies and alpacas, along with other animals, often roam the fields and paddocks.
- Glazed Breeding Unit: Piglets feeding from their mothers, sometimes with the opportunity to witness births.
- Small Animals: Bunnies and guinea pigs with regular petting sessions.

Indoor Play – Haystacks Play Barn: The large indoor play area ensures fun regardless of the weather. It features helter skelter slides, a climbing wall, cargo nets, a giant four-lane astro slide, and a roller mangle, suitable for children aged 4–14 years. A separate soft play area with a small play fort and slide is dedicated to children under 4. Socks must be worn in both play areas, and children are recommended to wear trousers and long-sleeved tops.
Interactive & Crafts: The Games and Crafts room, located next to Haystacks Play Barn, includes a selection of crafts and touch screen games to support cognitive development through puzzles and interactive fun.
Outdoor Play: Three outdoor adventure play areas provide hours of fun for toddlers to teenagers:
- Adventure Playground: Includes a huge adventure play fort with watchtowers, slides, climbing nets, and more. Play facilities are located near the café for parental supervision.
