More Info
What if it is raining?
  • This is an all-weather attraction, there is a small marquee which offers some protection on rainy days, however don't forget to bring weather appropriate clothing and footwear!
Is Frankly Alpacas suitable for wheelchair users or people with pushchairs?
  • The tracks are not smoothly tarmacked and may be uneven or muddy.
  • As a result, the walking experiences are unfortunately not accessible for wheelchair users or pushchairs.
  • The Paca Picnic however, is suitable for a wider range of people.
Are alpacas friendly?
  • Alpacas are calm, reserved and friendly social creatures.
  • However, they are still wild animals at heart and can sometimes be unpredictable.
  • Prior to the experience, you will be briefed on health safety to further minimise the risks of accidents.
  • If you have underlying health conditions then it is your responsibility to assess whether you are fit to undertake the experience.
Do alpacas pose a health risk?

Although alpacas are clean animals, we would strongly advise washing hands prior to eating food and leaving the site. 

Will the Frankly Alpacas spit at me?
  • Alpacas only tend to spit at other alpacas, usually an uninterested female towards a pushy male or both genders towards members of the herd that try to pinch their food.
  • It is very unlikely that an alpaca will spit at a human unprovoked!
