What visitors say
Absolutely loved this place, almost as much as our granddaughters did!! Lots to see and do and keep the children entertained. Unfortunately, we only had a few hours there, but next time we go, we're taking a picnic and spending the day there. The animals all look healthy and happy. The children particularly loved petting and holding the bacy animals. It was a joy to watch them!

Great day out for a whole family. Plenty of animals to see and pet (especially baby ones). Everything is well organised so you won't miss anything. Tractor and donkey rides probably being the highlight of the visit. Also on site dairy means you get get some delicious ice creams and fresh milk.

We've had a lovely day at Smith's hills farm feeding the animals. And listening to interesting information about lemurs porcupines, meercats and more. There's free parking. They sell fresh milk. The ice-cream on the farm was delicious too.
