Incredible family day out, perfect for kids up to age 10. Possibly older if they're happy to do the activities aimed at younger kids or if they are real animal lovers. My kids loved petting the rabbits and chicks. Bouncy pillow was a hit. They loved the water ball zorbing, the slip n slide and the helter skelter. Naturally the foam party was the highlight but a bit disappointing it was over much too quickly. It only lasted 5-10 minutes. There was so much to do we didn't even get round to doing everything! Facilities were great too, good hand washing areas with plenty of soap and hand towels at each end of the animal barns, toilets were ok. I didn't use the cafe as we brought our own but seemed ok. Lovely gift shop on the way out. Kids loved it so much they could have stayed there past closing time! We'd definitely go back. Well worth the money

Amazing day out with my daughters and younger grandchildren. From the staff at reception to every member of the team along the way, super happy, super friendly and super helpful. A special thank you the very knowledgeable man in the reptile house, I’m so sorry I didn’t get your name. My daughter is absolutely petrified of reptiles particularly snakes. He patiently talked her through the door and into the house and actually after some time had her hold one very long snake. Thank you so much, it meant the world to me. The Easter show was fun, tractor ride, egg hunt and seed planting were all great and nothing more to pay for these. The food and service were great, pizza tasty and coffee super hot - just the way I like it! The facilities and availability for hand washing were great, always soap and plenty of drying tissue available. We will definitely be back. Thank you to the whole team.

Took our 15 year old daughter and 8 month old son for his first trip to the farm today, he loved every moment of it. Getting the animal feed is a must as it makes for a great experience feeding the variety of animals they have. A favourite for me was seeing and being able to pet the two highland cows. There is also many tractors that you can sit on for pictures which our son loved. Makes for a really good day out, would highly recommend. Thank you Cockfields farm for making it such a memorable day.

The Ultimate Family Day Out: Cockfields Farm Park If you are looking for a day out that is absolutely worth every penny, Cockfields Farm Park is a must-visit. Despite being a bit of a drive—about an hour and a half—it is well worth the trip for the sheer variety of activities available. The farm is a paradise for animal lovers. You can get up close with rabbits, goats, and llamas, making it a very hands-on experience. Beyond the animals, the entertainment for kids is endless. There are fairground-style rides, a huge sandpit, and a massive bouncy castle that keeps the energy high all day. One of the most thoughtful parts of the park is the indoor area, which includes a sensory room perfect for smaller children or those needing a quieter environment. We had the pizza and ice cream, both of which were delicious and much better than your standard park fare. Whether you’re local or traveling from further away, it’s a brilliant, well-rounded day out for the whole family. Highly recommended!
