★★★★★Featured review by Elizabeth Burton

Absolutly amazing day at Lower Deayton today. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful, particular shout out to Liam in the veg patch today. A lovely young lad that was great with the kids and really showed what a great team they've got there. We even got to meet farmer Rich in the field as he was on the tractor turning the potato's for us to pick. Great to have a chat and it's so clear that he loves what he does. Kim in the cafe was amazing as well and she's got a great team with her. We went as 2 families of 4 and there is just so much to do even on a cool November day, the kids didn't want to leave!

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children under 10 who want a mix of animal interaction and imaginative indoor play. Seasonal events are the strongest reason to visit — Christmas and Halloween productions are detailed and consistently praised. Full-day potential across the play barn, animal areas, and rotating activities.

How amazing is this place!! The food was so nice, staff was amazing especially Kim, what a gem she is… and even when my niece dropped her drink all over the floor it wasn’t too much trouble; it was cleaned up and replaced no trouble at all, the animals are so friendly, minus the one ostrich (I think) who tried to stick its head in my other Nieces pushchair, maybe just to say hello… everything is spotless even the toilets and the soft play itself is just brilliant, so fun for us all, even the adults, I can’t wait to bring them again!!

We all arrived early this morning, we had an amazing full day, from start to finish so much for the children to do not once did I hear I'm bored from them. Santa and he's elf was absolutely amazing all 5 children loved he's magic and vibes. Food was amazing and well worth the money, beautiful animals and we spent hours in the play barn. Will definately be returning

Lovely, kid-friendly and just all round lovely staff! Excellent price, under 2s free, £5 for adults, a free hot drink thats usually £4 and only £2 for kids meal thats usually £6.50! The kids play area was brilliant too, with different rooms like vets, farm shop, tractor shop etc with themed toys inside! My only critism is, as I came in the winter, I was a little sad none of the outdoors activities were happening, but will be back in the summer! Also, it's more of a family farm for kids, not a adult day out, as I initially thought it may be. I went with a friend and baby and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
