One of the best days out we have had. Not crazy expensive, even the cafe/gift shop/ice cream was all decently priced. Having all the activity options for a very active toddler was awesome! I loved how the park, trampolines, moon bounce, sand pit and cars were all in the same area. Really is a worth while trip! We struggle with eating out as my son has allergies, the staff were very helpful and even had an allergy book that I could look through to pick his own food out for him! Vegan ice cream was also available.

We visited for our sons birthday. Booked the younger ones into the play centre, had some lunch, and then did the 2-hour farmer experience! WOW! This was amazing. We bottle fed lambs and calfs, and we got to hold baby bunnies. Hand fed the meerkats! What an experience! We brushed the pony's and walked them around the farm too. Ruby was our farm guide, and she was fantastic with the kids and explaining how the farm worked as we made our way round and telling us about all the animals they have. It's definitely worth the visit. The one and only complaint I have is my milkshake we got at the end wasn't cold, but literally that's it, everything else was fantastic, lots of play area's for the kids, picnic area, feed the animals carrots on your way round (50p a box) well worth it. All the staff were friendly and helpful but the lady who signed us in was lovely and even came to ask us how everything had gone at the end and Ruby, these ladies are a credit to the farm and team of staff!
