Animal Attractions in Derbyshire

I’ve visited a number of these animal attractions myself with my kids, and this guide combines our real experiences with local recommendations across Derbyshire and the Peak District. Discover the enchanting Matlock Farm Park, where children can interact with a wide range of friendly farm animals and enjoy outdoor play areas. Visit the Peak Wildlife Park to encounter exotic species from around the world in immersive walk-through habitats. For a unique adventure, explore the Tropical Butterfly House, Wildlife and Falconry Centre, where kids can marvel at vibrant butterflies, fascinating reptiles, and awe-inspiring birds of prey.
