Guests were welcomed into the Salt Ash park on June 1 who were able to meet its newest additions - three calfs, a baby donkey, 13 lambs, three baby guinea pigs, seven chickens and three piglets.
All were all born during the park's period of closure. Oakvale last traded on March 25 due to COVID-19.
"When we opened our doors at 10am our hearts melted with the kind words of support and encouragement from the visitors entering the park," owner Leanne Sansom said.
"The excitement on everyone's face from young to old bought tears to our eyes.
"Being allowed to open the doors to the public has not only given our business a new ray of hope it also provides our community with a safe and open area to spend time with nature."
During the closure, staff remained busy performing makeovers and improvements to the enclosures, kiosk and grounds while spending time with the animals.
