What visitors say

Josephine Senior

Perfect for kids. A great variety of play structures and activities. Really friendly staff and a great range of animals. Well worth the entrance price.

Excellent place to visit with kids, lots of animals, you can buy animal feed too which the goats and deer loved! The area is kept tidy so kids can run around with plenty of space to not cause an issue. The cafe is decent, it's basic but enough for what you need. Kids picnic meals and adult hotdogs etc. Baby changing facilities. Lots of different play areas for all ages. Definitely will return.

Had a lovely day out with my 10 and 2 year old, it's hard to find activities that suit both with the ages difference but can never go wrong with a farm! It's not overly priced here either paid £30 for the 3 of us but you can spend as long or little as you'd like there's loads to see and do with the animals and it has serval parks to play in as well.

Great place to visit with children. Lots of activities to do throughout the day from opening time until close. Nice little cafe for refreshments and food. Great seasonal events too, October/Halloween event was great for this year 2025
