Tapnell Farm Park is an award winning, all-weather family attraction on the Isle of Wight. Formerly one of the Isle of Wight's largest dairy farms, Tapnell Farm Park now plays host to a whole range of animals, including Wallabies, Meerkats, Donkeys, Goats and more! It also has loads of indoor and outdoor activities for families, including a large Play Barn, Jumping Pillow, Pedal Go Karts, and a Straw Bale Adventure Barn.

We live on the island and had never ventured down to Tapnell. Having some family here we decided to finally check it out. I was anticipating your average farm but it was so much more than that. From the indoor play barn suitable for all ages, with zip lines, trampolines, climbing walls, slides and go karts to all the wonderful animals you can pet (we saw pigs, goats, guinea pigs, rabbits, aplacas, wallabies & meerkats). Then you have the brilliant outdoor play area with the bouncing pillows! My 4 year old spent ages on the pillows and absolutely loved it and since we left has asked daily if we can go back! We went during the “covid” period so the indoor play barn was shut but that didn’t bother us, they’re currently doing online booking only and it’s for 3 hour slots in morning or afternoon, I found that plenty of time as after 3 hours I was exhausted! I would absolutely recommend this place if you’re visiting the island or even if you live here like us!

The Reptilarium has all day entry so a visit is best enjoyed alongside exploring the country park and beach plus other attractions.

This is a lovely little attraction in a unique building which is well worth a visit. Lots of really interesting reptiles on display in immaculate well scaped habitats and a very unusual nocturnal room where torches are provided to see all of the inhabitants. The highlight for us was the 70+ rescued turtles and terrapins housed in a large pool in the middle. A pot of turtle food can be bought from the well stocked gift shop along with snake skins and various pocket money toys. The owner is lovely and very knowledgeable and passionate about what she does and all in all this place is well worth a visit.
4. Fort Victoria Model Railway

For over 20 years this lovely model railway has been one of the key attractions here at the heart of the Fort Victoria Area, but has for a long time been suffering and looking tired, now with new ownership we look to rectify all of that and have taken onboard all your comments, concerns and constructive criticism. We are very much looking forward to re-opening the attraction and starring the next wonderful chapter in the life of the Fort Victoria Model Railway - a new chapter that I know will be a very good one and bring delight and joy to all those that visit. So watch this space and we will be delighted to announce the re-opening as soon as we can. In the meantime we wish everyone a safe and happy time.
