Yes it's a big expense but you can easily spend the whole day here. The animal cuddles are a lovely feature and a rarety to be able to get so close to the animals so for that alone I think it's worth a visit! The staff are lovely and helpful and chatty. The place is very well maintained and clean. The new treetops park was brilliant for both our 3 and 11 year old. We used the sizzling summer code on the checkout which gave us 4 cuddle blankets, 4 ice creams and 4 cakes! Proper scooped local ice cream and homemade cakes which were delicious. There are so many interactive shows and experiences throughout the day that we couldn't do them all. Shame we couldn't use our free return as it was only for outside of the school holidays and we're not local. This did seem a little odd as we came in the holidays. · via Google [Dimitar Krastev](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/108528362559901853842/reviews) ★★★★★ To ensure we didn't miss anything, we booked our tickets ahead of time and arrived right before the farm opened. There were many activities scheduled every 30 minutes, and we made sure to catch most of them. These included feeding miniature pigs, milking mama goats and bottle-feeding goat kids, watching ferret races, and even some amazing pig races! There was also a juggling and comedy one-man show, which seemed particularly entertaining for younger children. Meanwhile, there are plenty of other enjoyable activities available. You can cuddle cute little mice, bunnies, and piglets, which is likely the highlight but involves a long wait. Other options include taking a tractor ride, climbing, bouncing on a bouncy castle, examining the small creatures in a pond up close, enjoying fantastic views from the tower, mingling with numerous adorable ponies in an open field, and petting and feeding (if allowed) various animals such as pigs, goats, sheep, rabbits, horses, donkeys, alpacas, highland cows, and deer. It's important to note that sinks for handwashing, as well as seating areas for eating and relaxing, are conveniently located on every corner. You can either bring your own food or purchase from the wide selection of refreshments available. The staff were remarkably friendly and helpful, patiently responding to all of our questions. Overall, it's a fantastic place featuring a professionally planned roster of activities that are sure to keep your children busy and content throughout the entire day! · via Google [Michele Povey](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117337923018348738888/reviews) ★★★★★ Faboulous place even if you have no 1 little to take!

Took our 1.5 year old who was on his feet the whole day, loved feeding and petting the animals and playing on the equipment. We loved the piggy racing and the rainbow railway. All the staff here were working so hard to bring the best experience to all the families. Also a great bargain using the code when booking as it meant we could all come back for free another time. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x486cfd475ea2bb63:0x98bb7cac9c88a2aa!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) Visitors say this farm offers abundant interactive animal experiences, including cuddling piglets, feeding goats, and pony grooming, alongside various play areas and rides.
