Hogshaw Farm & Wildlife Park
📍 Buckingham, Greater London
Farm and wildlife park near Buckingham combining rare breed animals and European wildlife in walkthrough enclosures with indoor soft play, outdoor adventure areas including bouncy pillows, animal experiences, and bird shows.
We have visited twice in the past couple of months and it’s the best farm we have been to. They have places you can walkthrough and be up close to the animals. We attended the bird show with the owls and my nephew loved it. The gentleman who ran it was very informative and made sure everyone was involved. You can feed the goats and they also love to be petted. The soft play is a lovely touch but the older children's part is a bit dark and my nephew didn’t want to go in. The park is massive and the bounce park is well maintained. Car park is very big and the staff are all super friendly.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children aged 2 to 12 who want hands-on animal contact rather than observation-only visits. The walkthrough goat and chicken zones deliver the closest-range encounters. Families with neurodiverse children receive specific mention in reviews for staff adaptability and patience.

“We visited today 28th of Feb and what can I say our experience was amazing from start to finish! We met Catherine who was very confident and knowledgeable in her role! She went above and beyond to make sure my nephew had a great time. My nephew has autism and adhd and struggles with communication around new people! He took a shine to Catherine and she was more than happy to answer all his questions! Great experience will deffinatly be returning.”

“Very nice place to spend time with kids even if weather is not the best. There is soft play area, you can buy food or coffee and watch kids play. Outside playground is very nice also bouncy pillows, go karts and much more. I was specially impressed with Halloween event last year. I will definitely be back for next one. I bet Christmas event is great as well.”
