About
Set in acres of beautiful countryside, surrounded by amazing views of the Isle of Wight, Tapnell Farm is one of the Island’s biggest all-weather, fun-filled family destinations. There is so much to see and do, with just as much inside as outdoors.
Tapnell Farm Park is a must-visit, award-winning family attraction. Once a bustling dairy farm, it has been transformed into a vibrant attraction filled with a wide range of indoor and outdoor activities for visitors of all ages. The Straw Bale Adventure Barn invites young explorers to climb and play among stacked bales and tunnels, while pedal go-karts and trampolines offer thrilling excitement. Inside the Play Barn, children can enjoy a three-story soft play area and mini tractor rides. For a seaside feel, Tapnell Farm Park features its very own beach. Outdoors, the fun continues with jumping pillows, sledge slides, crazy golf, and Farm Park Footy Shoot Out. The Paddocks and Playground offer even more adventures. Animal lovers will delight in daily interactive activities such as goat and wallaby feeding and informative talks by the dedicated keepers, providing a chance to meet and learn about the farm's beloved animals.
When it's time to take a break, head to the Farm Park's Coffee House for a variety of snacks and refreshments, many of which are gluten and dairy-free.
