The park spans a large rural site in Epsom, featuring a mix of interactive farm animal enclosures, zoological exhibits, and high-energy physical play equipment. Key features include the 'Hobbledown Village,' a sprawling series of interconnected wooden structures, towers, and tunnel networks designed for imaginative play. The zoo section houses a diverse collection of exotic and domestic animals, including capybaras, meerkats, lemurs, and traditional farm livestock. Visitors can participate in scheduled animal encounters and keeper-led talks throughout the day.
