Meet Charlie and Lola, mischievous twins who joined us in 2014. These cheeky troublemakers love attention from both guests and staff. On sunny days, you’ll find them sunbathing, but they prefer cozy pens on rainy ones. Due to their penchant for greediness, kindly feed them only during designated animal petting times.
Our lively guinea pig community resides harmoniously at our ever welcoming family park. Friendly and fond of attention during petting times, they revel in ample space to play and munch on veggies or hay.
The grandchildren loved the animals and the huge playing spaces. They kept wanting to come back. In the end it made sense to buy. Best thing we ever did – wish we had done it sooner.
