Matlock Farm Park

We had a lovely family day out at Matlock Farm and really enjoyed our visit! Parking was a breeze when we arrived, although we were parked on the gravel area, which became a little challenging when the wind picked up and blew the gravel around. Once inside, we were greeted by a really large, open space, which made the whole place feel relaxed and enjoyable. The kids particularly loved feeding the animals, with the goats and deer being definite favourites! Our little one also went on a pony ride, which she absolutely loved and was a great addition to the day. Overall, it was a really pleasant family experience, with plenty to see and do. We’d definitely come back again the next time we’re in the area! 🐐🦌🐴

What a beautiful farm. With lots of experiences through out the day small animal encounter, kids and friends walk through, pony rides, reptile encounter, wallaby feeding and walk through. We had a very lucky day seeing a birth of a lamb and later the twin arrived. A kid was born that morning as well. They had an indoor play area which was like a tree house large climbing frame with 3 slides. There possibly be a few more toys added to that area but suited our 3.5year old nicely. Lots of play areas outside and a huge play area at the bottom. Animals were all looked after so well and the staff showed they had a lot of love for them. We had lunch as part of our weekday deal and was lovely and a very good deal. We had broken a fridge magnet that we wanted to pay the staff member was willing for us to swap and we explained we broke it we will pay and take away. Was lovely that she was willing to swap it out. Toilets were clean throughout the day.

So where do I start... This place is nothing but amazing! We intended to spend 4ish hours here and we spent the full day 10-5. So well organised, the staff are extremely knowledgeable, animals are great. Things to keep the kids occupied between seeing animals, treats and food as you'd expect. The smaller restaurant has a play area in it which was perfect for us, small meals, bits to eat and kids got to burn off more energy. If we are in the area again, we will definitely be visiting again, especially to see Larry the Valais Blacknose sheep which was one of the highlights among many others, it is extremely well setup. We went during May half term, and there was plenty of space, no waiting, not crowded and allowed for a very leisurely, fully enjoyable day out.

5 Stars – Amazing Experience and Exceptional Kindness! We had a wonderful visit to Matlock Farm Park yesterday. It was a truly special day because my 10-year-old daughter got to touch horses for the very first time in her life! She was so happy and spent a long time bonding with the horses, sheep, and the kangaroos. A few highlights from our visit: Affordable Fun: The animal food is very cheap, and it was great to see so many kids' activities available with no extra fees. Wonderful Animals: The interaction with the animals is fantastic—my daughter didn't want to leave them! Superior Customer Service: We unfortunately missed the pony ride at the end of the day. The front desk staff were so supportive and gave me the management's email address. I sent an email that evening and was amazed to get a reply the very next morning ( Ms.Lotty) ! They kindly arranged for my daughter to come back for her pony ride without charging us for another full day’s entry. The staff are incredibly friendly and really care about their visitors. This kind of service is rare, and it made our experience unforgettable. We feel very happy and will definitely be recommending this park to everyone!
