Apple Jacks Adventure Farm (Seasonal) Reviews Summary

Attractions

Pros:

• "Fantastic day out with lots of physical activities."
• "Ultimately, the kids had a great time, it was good to get fresh air as a family, have a change of scenery and have some fun."
• "Really great place to take the kids."
• "True that most attractions have seen better days, but still, it was clean and well kept, i.e., grass cut down, no mud or potholes."
• "Definitely a well-respected and recommend place to visit, cheap too! And plenty to do! 100% SCHOOL HOLIDAY MUST, AND THEY DO HALLOWEEN EVENTS TOO!"
• "It's often difficult to find somewhere that suits ages 2, 8 and 10 but Apple Jack's really does!"
• "Visited today with our 6 year old daughter for ‘Fun by Day’ light hearted spooky fun, she had great fun on all the attractions."

Cons:

• "Don't expect to see any animals except for 6 pigs hiding for cover from the sun in a 2mx1.5m shelter."
• "The haunted house and fun house look as though they have been left from Halloween, alongside the slaughterhouse style attraction."
• "The majority of the attractions you would attend the site for were either not open or are very tired and in need of some attention."
• "Kids did have a nice day out, however £8 per person is a lot for a glorified playground with all the main attractions missing."
• "The haunted house was shut as was the shooting balls."
• "Half the attractions were closed, I can only presume due to the weather."
• "Half of the attractions weren't working, or weren't open, for most of the time we were there."

Staff and Service

Pros:

• "Staff are pleasant enough and trying their best."
• "All the staff are lovely yes some don't walk around with a fake painted smile on their face but if that's what you want then go to Disney you can have as much fakeness along with an expensive experience."
• "Staff are great, actors are spectacular and themed areas are brilliant!"
• "Staff are friendly and helpful."
• "The staff were all friendly and helpful."
• "The staff ALL the staff are fantastic so helpful and really look after you making sure the kids have a great day."
• "Staff keen and hard working in getting the kids to enjoy themselves."

Cons:

• "The staff were miserable and the burger was like a piece of coal."
• "Absolutely disgusted! The staff were rude and ignorant."
• "The staff that are present are only present in physical form, they do not interact with you or monitor attractions."
• "Disgraceful, chaotic and disorganised. Rude and unhelpful security guards who suggested I deal with the many teenagers jumping the queue."
• "The staff were rude at the reception I don’t appreciate how the girl spoke to my other half in front of my children and the manager wasn’t much use just telling us it has all the information online, we defiantly won’t be returning or recommending this place to anyone."
• "No hand sanitizer anywhere! No social distancing in cafe. Disgusting dirty balls in indoor tent. Slides with big rips in. Hardly any staff & all look like school kids."
• "Very rude manager we explained that the park opening times on Google needed updating so we didn't realise it closes at 4. She said don't assume anything and basically laughed in my face in front of the other staff member."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Price is brilliant and easy to find on location."
• "Worth every penny."
• "Also awesome entry price at £8 a person which is lovely to see for the people with larger families."
• "Used a Groupon voucher which made it fantastic value."
• "Cheap at the price (£33.99 for a family of four for all day)."
• "We found it really good value for money."
• "Great day out for kids of all ages. Can spend most of the day here."

Cons:

• "How on god's earth can you charge £9 per adult?"
• "Too expensive for what is there."
• "Absolutely fantastic place for kids to play and have fun my only downfall for the 3 stars is the food quality we didn't take a picnic and decided to get food from the hot food place omg what an absolute disgusting place really overpriced and sausage Barms are awful also it's not chips it's friesall which are crusty just let's apple Jack's down definitely in need of a new cafe cook and menu x."
• "The last thing I have to comment on is the prices for food and drink... appalling and really let's the day down... £2.50 for a bottle of coke £1.50 for a can, £1.50 for a packet of crisps."
• "We paid £38 to get in hardly anything is open or you have to pay to get on it, then at the end we were told you have to pay for the pumpkins, so what exactly have we paid £38 pounds for?"
• "The beefburgers, and hotdogs with chips cost me £34, I could not believe it and it was absolutely dreadful."
• "For 2 adults and 3 children admission cost in the region of £60, plus spent around £30-£40 in the park for extra attraction fees and food/drink."
