A great fun day out! We were so lucky to go when we did, it was the summer ☀️ party for kids, swimming pool and foam party in full swing. The farm is so lovely, lots of feeding the animals which is so fun. They also had a animal enclosure experience going on, which was amazing, my husband and I really enjoyed it, it gave boy the confidence to see and handle different animals, my husband had a snake 🐍 around his arms, I held a turtle (which I have never done) we also took the chance to hold insects, he may only be 2 but it shows him not to be afraid. A great experience! We had a bite to eat for lunch, all hand made, it was the best tuna cheese toastie ive never had. I'd go back just for that alone..lol Food reasonably priced, kids lunch meal deal too and staff were lovely and full of fun. So many things here to enjoy, a great day out.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children who want hands-on animal contact beyond a standard zoo visit. The exotic animal encounter builds real confidence with reptiles and insects — staff handle sessions well with children of all temperaments.

This place is fantastic! The staff is super friendly,, and the place has a great vibe. The animals are well looked after, and you can even feed some of them. They also have a fabulous show where you can see and touch different animals, like reptiles. Plus, there's an amazing soft play area! Plenty of parking.

Amazing farm. So many different types of animals, it’s more like a mini zoo! We really enjoyed the exotic animal encounter, feeding the goats and sheep and the fascinating breeds of owls. The staff are really friendly and it seems like they enjoy working there!
