Carrickfergus Urban Farm

What You'll Find

Carrickfergus Urban Farm is a lovely little spot for younger children, especially if you've got a wee animal lover!

It's a small community farm run by Kilcreggan Homes, where children can get a look at some farm animals without having to visit one of the bigger farm parks.

You may spot goats, pigs and chickens, depending on which animals are out when you visit. It's lovely for toddlers and younger children who enjoy watching the animals and learning a little about them.

It's not a big adventure farm with rides and play areas, but more of a quiet little farm visit.

If you're spending the day around Carrickfergus, this could be a nice little stop to add to your plans. Just make sure to check visiting arrangements before setting off.
