Thornton Hall Country Park

What a fantastic place to visit with our two year old granddaughter. Soft play, goats, lambs, pigs donkeys. Feeding the orphaned lambs and calves by bottle. You can even take your own picnic and enjoy the outside play park and activities. Recommend the caterpillar ride, she loved it. Best of all, the staff are really friendly and helpful. We have booked again and we might even stop over on their own campsite.

We had a fab time, the food was really yummy. Normally soft play catering isn’t the best but we really enjoyed the pizza. I think we’ve visited more or less every soft play in the area. This was more than just soft play they had animals to feed and also bumper style cars. Yep I got on with two kids screaming like a big kid.. it was fun let’s just say. One thing that was brought to our attention is that it was cold especially for the little ones. Maybe it was such a large building it’s difficult to heat. So just wrap the little ones up. Definitely be back! Thank you peeps x

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A Perfect Day Out for the Whole Family! We had the most amazing time here and can’t recommend it enough for families with young children! From the moment we arrived, the staff were friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about the animals and the visitor experience. The farm is beautifully kept, and there’s so much to do. Our kids (ages 3 and 6) absolutely loved feeding the goats and meeting the baby lambs. The animal petting area was a huge hit, with opportunities to hold rabbits and guinea pigs—such a gentle, hands-on experience that the children are still talking about. There’s also a fantastic adventure playground, tractor rides, and a soft play area indoors, which came in handy when the weather turned briefly. Everything was clean, safe, and thoughtfully set up for families. We were really impressed with the café too—great coffee, homemade cakes, and a decent kids’ menu with healthy options. Plenty of picnic areas as well if you prefer to bring your own food. What really stood out was how interactive and educational everything was. The talks and feeding demonstrations were engaging without being too long, and the staff made sure the kids could ask questions and get involved. We spent nearly the whole day there and could easily have stayed longer. A perfect mix of fun, learning, and fresh air. We’ll definitely be coming back—and bringing friends next time!
