Billing Aquadrome Holiday Park in Northamptonshire has introduced a new interactive experience this summer that invites guests to walk alongside alpacas within the grounds of the park.
The “Alpaca Experience” is available for both overnight guests and day visitors and allows participants to spend 30 minutes walking and petting one of five alpacas named Cilla, Willow, Cassandra, Alpacino, and Chewpacca.
According to a news release, the experience is priced at £10 per person.
This addition expands the park’s portfolio of on-site recreational offerings, which already includes a variety of family-oriented and outdoor activities such as an indoor heated pool, an outdoor splash park, a Himalayan-themed mini golf course, watersports, and an adventure-style pump track.
The park also features lake-facing saunas, a plunge pool, arcades, a build-a-bear workshop, fishing lakes, and evening entertainment held at its amphitheatre-style venue.
Billing Aquadrome is located in the Nene Valley area of Northamptonshire and offers a combination of traditional campsite amenities and leisure facilities.
Holidaymakers can make use of fully serviced pitches that include electrical hook-ups, water access, and waste disposal. Modern shower and toilet blocks are positioned throughout the site to support comfort during extended stays.
The park is marketed as a family destination, catering to both active visitors and those seeking a quieter retreat in nature. Its location near Northampton also gives guests the opportunity to explore nearby heritage sites and local walking trails.
For outdoor hospitality operators and campground business owners, Billing Aquadrome’s integration of animal experiences such as alpaca walks may reflect a growing trend in experiential tourism, where unique encounters can help increase dwell time, enhance visitor satisfaction, and offer new revenue streams.
Incorporating similar low-maintenance, high-engagement activities may be worth considering for properties aiming to diversify their attraction offerings beyond accommodation and standard recreation.
The Alpaca Experience is currently available for booking, and the park’s full event calendar includes seasonal activities throughout the year, designed to appeal to families and multi-generational groups.
