Wouldn't return to the Halloween Event. Disabled access was questionable throughout. Very uneven camber. Luckily I was in my power chair but I can't imagine how I'd have navigated it in my manual chair. Everything was extortionately priced. The pumpkin 'area' was very pretty with the big wooden boxes and barrells of different assorted pumpkins, but the actual 'picking' area was depressing and about 90% were rotten or had been trampled. Portaloos were so filthy I couldn't actually use them, which poses a bit of an issue at 8 months pregnant. Lots of choice of different street foods. Plenty of fairground rides at typical fairground prices. Paid on advance for tickets for 'Trick or Treat Street' which was a bit rubbish. £14 for a child and adult, and in return a handful of bargain bin sweets. Also prepaid for the Rodeo(?) inflatable area which was much enjoyed but so hard to actually keep an eye on your kids because it was so crowded and adults weren't allowed to access the inflatables. I know the whole theme is USA, but staff having MAGA hats on is a bit grim. Couldn't work out if this was meant to be a joke or not. Supervision from staff was very lacking too. All in all, if you're prepared to spend maybe £100 for a family of 3 or 4, I'm sure kids of all ages will enjoy it.

As part of my 60th birthday celebrations my daughter booked the Highland cow experience with afternoon tea. Such a wonderful experience. Not rushed. Almost 2 hours with them before afternoon tea. Lots of information given about the Coos. Lovely family running it. Lots of food supplied to feed the coos and the most amazing afternoon tea for us. Would highly recommend if you love coos!!!

Such an incredible experience at Halloween Farm! The theme this year really stood out. The American Adventure was a hit with everyone. The Cowboy town show and horses were so entertaining, and you could tell how much effort had gone into making it authentic. We loved how family-friendly everything was, especially Trick or Treat Street and the Spooky Express train. The circus was mind-blowing too. The event was so well organised and easy to get around, with great parking and access for everyone. One of the best family days out we’ve had all year.

I am incredibly disappointed with our visit to Fantasy Farm at Cattows Farm. After paying what was already an expensive entrance fee, we quickly realized that almost nothing inside is actually included in the ticket price. For a farm event, the animal section is a joke. There were almost no pets at all—just a couple of goats, chickens, and hamsters. Once you are through the gates, it is a constant money grab. The bouncy castles, inflatables, fairground rides, are NOT free and require separate, extra payments (at least £4 per activity). While the water guns were free, everything else the children actually wanted to do cost extra money. It feels completely dishonest to charge an admission fee just to get into an area where you have to pay all over again for every single ride. Charging a substantial entrance fee and then asking visitors to pay extra for nearly every attraction offers very poor value for money. We left feeling disappointed and would not recommend it to families expecting an enjoyable, inclusive day out. Save your money and go elsewhere. There are far better places to visit where the admission price covers the main attractions.
