Meet our newest foal!

Hyacinth, a piebald Miniature Shetland has had the cutest foal we've seen this year!

The colt (boy!) foal was born last night and is a beautiful grey and white piebald with one blue eye - just like his mum! You can also see his picture in the Western Morning News over the next day or so!

We're having a naming competition - the name must begin with 'N' to mark 2008 as his year of birth! Enter your suggestion next time you're here!

See you soon!

Spider-Man, Spider-Man...and false alarms!

Bank Holiday Monday, May 5, 2008


Well, thanks to all the Spider-Kids who came to climb, leap and jump along with Spider-Man! What a GREAT day on bank holiday Sunday!

Today started early for me and Kate (Animal Farm Manager) when we were paged by the new foaling alarm at 5.30am! We have two mares due to foal any day - Hyacinth the piebald Shetland and Fern (Inferno) our home-bred Dartmoor. Needless to say it was a false alarm - but we enjoyed having the Park to ourselves and getting a head start on the day. Look out for Hyacinth and Fern when you're in - and listen out for the patter of tiny hooves! The foaling alarm is really clever - it fits onto the headcoller and pages our 'phones when the mares lie down flat - so we're waiting to see if Hyacinth will foal later today.
Happy Bank Holiday and hope to see you soon.

Furry friends

Where has the time gone? It has been so exciting at Crealy over the past few weeks that the time has just flown by!

So WELCOME TO THE SUMMER!

Let's fill you in...we've had lots of fun, lots of sun and met lots of new friends!
Easter was M'Egga fun - we met Dora the Explorer, Dylan from The Magic Roundabout and hunted for tens of thousands of eggs!

In April we welcomed some very cute four legged friends with two fluffy foals and then at the end of last week we celebrated the birth of triplet goat kids - the first time in 3 years - they have stolen the limelight with photos in the Express and Echo and Western Morning News this weekend!

At Cornwall's Crealy visitors have braved The Beast - which we're very proud to say is Cornwall's only 50 ft drop tower ride! They also learnt how to walk on water with our new Water Walkers - great fun and also unique to the South West!

Visitors to Devon's Crealy have been spoilt for choice with 3 new ride experiences to enjoy - Battle of the Bears, the Meteorite and the improved Tidal Wave Terror with new tunnel drop!

Can Crealy possibly get even better I hear you ask? Well...visit Devon's Crealy on Sunday 4th May and you will get to see everyone's favourite superhero!

For the first time ever in the South West of England, Spiderman is coming to meet his fans! Find out more on our special events pages - remember to book your tickets now as Members and online ticket holders will enjoy fast track entry from 9am - yes we're opening early - an extra hour of fun just for you!

I hope you have a wonderful Bank Holiday Weekend - Sunday and May Day at Crealy means a free toy for every child in the famous Lost Toys Treasure Hunt - so join us for your best Bank Holiday adventures and magic!

Speak soon....

Have a Great Half-Term Holiday!

Hi - and I hope you're having a great time during these Fun-Filled February Halfterm Holidays! We had one of our monthly Crealy Creators' meetings at the Park today - our junior Board (ages 7 through 12) are SO brilliant - definitely some budding Bransons amongst them. The other best things this week? Meeting a perfect two-week old baby rabbit today with Kate, Crealy's Animal Realm Manager - and one of our team saying he's learnt more with us in less than a year than in the rest of his working life. Oh - and agreeing the 2008 summer menus - yum! It takes a lot of exceptional people amongst our team of Rangers to deliver the uniquely Crealy real magic and safe adventures - that's the biggest fun of all, for me.

Hope to see you in the Parks soon - wishing you Maximum Fun and family happiness.

Happy February!

Hi - and a Happy February to you. February has to be one of my favourite months - usually the driest period in the winter season and when we're always really busy preparing for the season ahead. This year is no exception, with four great features underway at Devon's Crealy ... the new Meteorite ride is in construction as we speak, due to open in Dina's Lost World on Good Friday. This is bound to become of of the favourite family rides at Crealy and we're all excited by the thought of riding next month! In the meantime, you'll have seen a hive of activity around Sir Walt's Restaurant ... well, Sir Walt would approve of change - being an adventurous explorer himself - as we transform the building into our most interactive adventure yet! The Battle of the Bears - alongside Crealy Bear Cafe - opens on the first day of our summer season, Saturday 15th March. Not long to wait now! And you can see that we're busy transforming the Tidal Wave too - faster, wetter, deeper, with a terrifying tunnel!

Cornwall's Crealy is undergoing huge amounts of work too - and there's a hint of mystery ... as legend prowls and on the wind we hear strange howls...come and find out on opening day, Saturday 15th March...As we prepare for that big event, everyone is busy, whether it's decorating, building or learning new skills...even Jonty the Shire yearling has learnt to play football! He'll be unveiling his skills during the daily Heavy Horse Show - we hope! More of a NAG than a WAG (sorry :))

It was great to be out on the Park at Devon's Crealy today, enjoying our early spring sunshine. Speaking with lots of happy guests - meeting new Members too. And two highlights of today? Well, first meeting some great new staff at our Recruitment Fair. And secondly, seeing twin kids born - one of four pairs so far this month to our patient African Pygmy Goat Nannies. All doing fine and already at home with our visitors. Well done Ali in the Animal Farm this week - our very own "Second Mum" to hundreds of babies.

Look forward to seeing you in the Parks soon.
