The BIG Sheep is home to Devon’s most popular and largest roller coaster with swoops, turns and drops full of family thrills and views across the lake to many of the park’s attractions.
With 12 hilarious shows, all with undercover viewing area, visitors will enjoy some of the most EWEnique events ever seen in the UK. Shows include the world famous sheep race - a hysterical sporting event with sheep and jockeys, sheep from around the world strutting their stuff on stage, sheep and duck trials, sheep shearing, the lamb bottle feeding show.
If you fancy a bit of outdoor play, you can bounce as high as you can on the giant jumping pillows, experience the thrill of flying around on the twister ride, get wet and wild in the splash zone or try your skills at archery tag.
Children can enjoy the magic of a real farm – newborn lambs for most of the year and other baby farm animals to feed and cuddle at Pet’s Corner. Don’t forget to bring your camera to capture some magical moments and sheep selfies. All the resident animals in the animal barn – puppies, chicks, rabbits, lambs and miniature ponies allow you to get up close and personal.
Gentle rides for toddlers and younger children include Piggy Pull-Along, Tractor Safari, self-drive Tractor Track, Pony Rides and Vintage Pony and Swan Carousel.
Ewetopia, a massive indoor adventure play zone is where children (and lively adults) can burn off some energy on a selection of great slides and imaginative soft play climbing areas, tumble towers, mazes and obstacles.
The more adventurous visitor can enjoy battling it out with family and friends in our newly themed combat zone, Battlefield Live, or try some taster sessions on the 45ft climbing wall and master the art of mountain boarding and low ropes at our sister attraction, the Ultimate Adventure Centre.
