Why go?
Those famous weirdly-shaped dinos aren't the only animal attraction at Crystal Palace park. This tucked-away city farm is a nice detour, with its appealing crew of auburn-haired goats, chickens, sheep, and rabbits. It's run by students from the Capel Manor College's animal management course, meaning there's not a huge amount of focus on visitor experience, but it's well worth popping in for a quick look around.
Don't miss:
Unexpectedly, this little farm has meerkats alongside the more traditional animals on display.
