★★★★★Featured review by Danielle Crump

Amazing! Did a feeding experience and the man who led this was amazing with the children. Helped them understand everything about the animals and was just so helpful! Would definitely recommend going! The lady at the door was very accommodating too, did anything to help us ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for toddlers and children up to primary school age who want genuine hands-on animal contact rather than observation-only. A one-to-two hour visit covers the farm comfortably. The charity rescue focus means animals are well cared for, and staff are visibly engaged with children during feeding sessions.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Allow one to two hours — the farm is compact and that covers it comfortably
Bring small change for animal feed, which is very low cost
🎟️Check ahead whether the visitor centre is open, as roof repairs have affected it periodically
🚗Ask staff about feeding experiences — they lead sessions and are excellent with children

We only stayed an hour as it was closing. But very friendly staff, had a good chat wil them. Very cheap too. Food for the animals cost is cheap. Overall we had a great hour feed the animals, no rushing round. Would recommend it.

Rescue farm where the animals are really well cared for. Our 2 year-old had a blast feeding the sheep and goats. £2 entry fee can't be beat. Great place to spend a couple hours.

Been a few years since I've been here. Kids are grown up but now grandkids are here!!! Still a lovely place to go for a couple of hours, has been hugely improved since the last time I visited. I hope B'ham council sort the roof out quickly on the visitor centre as it is a shame this is not open.

Overview

Woodgate Valley Urban Farm operates as a registered charity rescue farm on the edge of Birmingham, with animals including goats, sheep, chickens, and rabbits roaming across working farmland, orchards, and woodland. Staff-led feeding experiences give children direct hands-on contact with animals. The farm runs educational programs and therapeutic sessions, and the visitor centre is normally open — and roof repair works have affected it at times. Car parking is available on site.
