Meet friendly farm animals and enjoy a scenic quad ride at Tamala Farm. Perfect for families and animal lovers, this tour offers an authentic countryside experience amid friendly faces and open fields.
Tamala Farm Experience is a family-friendly working farm located in Whitecairns, Scotland, offering hands-on animal encounters and seasonal activities. The farm operates a range of bookable experiences designed for families, adults and children, including Meet the Animals and Cow Tour, Adults Only Sessions, Goat Picnic, Build Your Bestie in the Barn (Halloween special), Tattie Howkin potato harvesting, Pony Time, Pig‑Nic on the Farm, Baby Coo feeding and the Tamala Spooktacular adults-only night.
Each experience focuses on animal welfare, safe interactions and personal attention from trained handlers. Visitors can feed, groom and learn about farm animals in small-group settings; many sessions limit participant numbers to ensure close, calm encounters. The farm uses quad-bike trailer rides for scenic cow and calf viewing during the cow tour and provides supervised feeding opportunities with farm-supplied treats. Tamala Farm Experience emphasises clear booking information, site safety and suitability guidance for ages and group sizes; sessions list age minimums and maximum participants where relevant. Seasonal specials such as Halloween events and build-your-own soft toy workshops are run with structured activities and certificates. The farm also offers potato-picking in a tattie field for take-home harvests. Location in Whitecairns makes the farm accessible from nearby Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire towns. Tamala Farm Experience maintains a transparent activity list and encourages advance booking to manage group sizes and to preserve animal welfare during visits. Staff provide clear onsite guidance and adaptable experiences for schools, private groups and casual visitors, with sanitary facilities and parking available regularly.
