Pumpkin Fest at Noah's Ark Zoo Farm
About
Pumpkinfest is back! This year's celebration of all things autumnal will include our pumpkin patch corner, perfect for little ones, creepy crawly talks and an owl trail.
Use the mini wheelbarrows to navigate pumpkin corner and you might even choose a perfect pumpkin to take home. Pumpkins from the pumpkin corner start at £3. Pumpkins are also available at the Farm Shop located in the carpark. This year's pumpkins are weird, wacky and wonderful coming in all different shapes and sizes!
Creepy Crawly Talks
Come along to on our Creepy Crawly Talks, held in the Ark Arena at 12pm daily, to find out all about some of our small critters. Find out how many teeth a snail has; where Sun Beetles come from; and even how long a Hissing Cockroach can live without its head! You might even be able to get up close to them!
Owl of the World Trail
Spot the owls around the zoo to find out fun facts about owls around the world. Find out what they like to eat, the noises they make and other amazing owl facts.

Accessability
We are working to ensure access for everyone and although Noah's Ark is built on a working farm, most areas are wheelchair accessible. We are now partnered with Bristol's Mobility Centre and now have a limited number of wheelchairs available to reserve for free. We also have mobility scooters for available for a £10 hire charge. In order to secure a mobility scooter for your visit please book in advance online or by calling our friendly team on 01275 852606.
Noah's Ark is working on a long term 'Ark for All' plan, the first stage of which has been completed and was opened on 25th July 2018 by Paralympian Andy Lewis. The new facilities include a Changing Places toilet, complete with hoist and changing bed, accessible play equipment including a wheelchair accessible roundabout and child-friendly accessible signage.
We appreciate that some visitors may prefer to visit the zoo when there are less people around. The zoo is quieter in term time during the week, on Sundays during term time and from 3-5pm during the school holidays.
Sometimes busy areas can become overwhelming, whilst we don't yet have a dedicated quiet area yet, there are a number of quieter areas around the zoo which can be easily accessed.
1. Quiet lawn behind the Gibbons accessible from behind the Food Barn (please ask a member of staff who can direct you)
2. Space between the Rhea and our Bear enclosure is a peaceful area of the zoo. This area is just past the giraffe enclosure.
In July we welcomed Gordon Morris, a company who specialise in hearing solutions to help improve the visitor experience in several areas. This included installing 5 hearing loops and 3 speech transfer systems. The hearing loops are installed in the main Food Barn, Gift Shop, Farm Shop and at the ticket office. Whilst the Speech Transfer Systems help to improve communication in the Food Barn and Ticket Offices.
