Croxteth Park Farm
📍 Liverpool, Merseyside
Working Victorian farm with 20+ rare breed species including Irish Moiled cattle, heritage pigs, alpacas, and peacocks. Free entry, daily small animal handling, pony grooming sessions, and an on-site cafe.
Visited this farm with a 2 year old and two 9 month olds on a rainy day. The prices are great for entry, the animals were still out and looking happy despite the rain. We pretty much had the farm to ourselves due to the rain, but it only made the experience better! The staff were lovely, always chatty and friendly. One staff member retrieved a toy that had fell out of the pram which we hadn’t noticed and another staff member got a rabbit out so the children could see. The cafe is great and reasonable prices. Car park is free, a short walk from the farm. I’d recommend this place to all families, and don’t let the rain scare you away.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Outstanding for families with toddlers through primary-age children who want hands-on animal encounters at no entry cost. Rainy day visits are genuinely worthwhile — smaller crowds mean more staff attention and a more personal experience. The feed buckets from the entrance gate are the fastest route to engaged children.

“This is my local park with a lot of history to the place. Really nice woods nice walks in the gardens. Even better when the Bee hive garden is open I love to watch them go into the hive and out of the hives. Summers day amazing place, West Darby village is a walk though the park from the house around 30 - 40 minutes.”

“Fabulous day out, great place for families! Staff were very helpful especially Rob (thank you for showing us where to go even whilst you were on your break!) and the lady supervising the guinea pigs/rabbits who was very generous with her time and knowledge.”
