- Consider visiting during the 'Mini Pumpkin Patch' midweek if you have very young children, as it offers a quieter experience.
- Bring your own picnic to enjoy at the designated benches, but remember not to bring food into the cafe area.
- Wash your hands thoroughly after feeding or touching animals, as hand sanitiser is not sufficient to kill harmful bacteria.
