What visitors say
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!

We took the children on the Christmas Adventure and it was lovely! Lots of little details that made the experience special ✨️ Our compliments to the staff who were brilliant in their roles, and hats off to an observant and kind Santa Claus with that personal touch, who made it unexpectedly magical for a young adult in our party. Forever memories! We visited the cafe, too, and were impressed with the menu, food, facilities ( all nice and clean, not too crowded even tho very busy) and great service. All in all highly recommended 🌟

Went here for a family wedding. Beautiful location, clean toilets, reasonable drinks prices. Nothing was too much trouble for the team who went to the cafe to get hot drinks that were unavailable in the reception area. Staff were lovely and accommodating, especially the blonde haired manager (Shannon?) and a younger man with curly hair, who were both wonderful when my mum became unwell. Give them a raise!!
