C & J ‘ S A N I M A L P A R K
A little less well known probably, but a hidden Jem for animal loving children. C&J's Animal Park near Portadown is a mini zoo with animals such as a crocodile, lemurs, silver foxes and wallabies as well as lots of farm animals and birds. The paths are all flat and gravel, which is accessible but a bit hard to push a pram/wheelchair around. They do have ramps into the shop, toilets and reptiles house making it easy to get in and out. The highlight was getting hands on experience with lots of the animals. The staff were great at getting the reptiles and smalls pets out for us to hold. We got lots of time with each animals they chatted to us about where they got them and how old they were. I was also pleased they recognised and made sure our youngest got to also hold and touch lots of the animals in his own time. We had a lovely morning there and will definitely be back again.
