Welcome To The Animalarium

Unfortunately, the Animalarium will be closed on 8th December 2024 while we make the site safe following todays storm. We hope to reopen on the 9th December 2024 but will keep you updated.

Due to the hard work of our keeper team, the animals have been kept safe and well during this difficult time and they all look forward to seeing you soon.

At our animal sanctuary, we are open every day to provide a safe and welcoming home for both domestic and farm animals. You can come and meet these animals, pet them and even feed many of them!

We have a cozy café where you can grab a bite to eat, a gift shop to buy souvenirs and play parks for the children. We are open all year long, with the exception of Christmas Day. On every other day of the year, we are open to the public.
We are dog friendly and wheelchair accessible.

We strive to create a safe, enriching, and educational environment for all of our animals, as well as for the visitors that come to see them. We have a wide range of animals including pigs, goats, chickens, ducks, turkeys, rabbits, guinea pigs, and more!
It's the ideal place for families to come together and make lasting memories.

A huge thankyou for all of the hay racks that were donated last week! These have been extremely useful and help keep our rabbits hay off the ground, although a few individuals appear to find it amusing to drag out every last strand into a messy pile on the floor! We are still in need of a few more hay racks for the rest of our Petting Barn animals, if you are able to donate please check out our Amazon wishlist (link in bio). Any donation, no matter how small, makes a huge difference, and we greatly appreciate every single one! . #rabbits #borthanimalarium #borth #animalarium #amazonwishlist
