Value for Money
Pros:
"With the rising costs of everything this is priced very decently with lots to do."
"Extremely reasonable prices to get in."
"Entry was £2 per adult and 1.5 for 2 year old kid."
"Lovely cheap and cheerful."
"entrance fee is very reasonable"
"Cheap to get in to farm( £3.50 i think) and carpark is £1.20 for 3 to 4 hours."
"Although this farm used to be free the small admission fee is well worth it at a mere £1.50 for over 2s and £2.50 for adults what more could you ask for a good verity of farm animals you can pet."
Cons:
"Went a couple of years back when parking and admission was free and had a great time, so decided to take little one back, paid for parking and admission only to be really disappointed."
"This place was recommended by a friend to pumpkin pick prior to halloween. In my opinion it was a total rip off. The charges just stacked up!"
"Expensive to enter not many animals to see."
"Popped in to the farm shop hoping to buy 3 pumpkins. I was told I needed to purchase admission that was £18.50. An absolute joke! And very disappointing!"
"£16 for entry £15.50 on pumpkin is day light robbery"
"We only wanted to get pumpkins but still had to pay admission into the farm which cost us £21 for 2 adults and 2 children. Pumpkins wasn't cheap either but had plenty of them and most were in good condition."
"Disappointed. The Farm has started charging for admission, which is fine with costs etc going up, but the facilities and provision just isn't worth the fee."
Facilities and Activities
Pros:
"A lovely day out with plenty of benches for picnics."
"This is a lovely little family-run farm with a lot of character, it has places for kids to play in a safe area that is very well presented."
"Great experience for the kid's bought some animal feed at the reception,really cheap price's, 5 bag's was simply not enough!"
"We went again for their pumpkin picking it was amazing."
"Also went for their Halloween pumpkin picking which was fun, the pizza van is a must as well!"
"The working farm is generally pretty tidy and the animals are in good health and are pretty tame."
"Best thing was kid could feed some of the animals."
Cons:
"Sadly, not many animals about in the walking area."
"What did let it down was the park was no good for their age they couldn't get up the slide being 2 and 4 and was very upset by it all."
"The play area isn't suitable for younger children, far to hard for them to navigate without parents supervision and support."
"There is only a activities area (play area) for kids 6+ nothing for children younger, very sad as had to deal with a screaming toddler who couldn’t play with the other children without getting hurt."
"if it's raining you have got no chance."
"The parking is hideous, really terrible leaving you with either loitering in the car park waiting for someone to move."
"The horses looked thoroughly depressed too."
Cleanliness and Maintenance
Pros:
"The goats were friendly, farm was clean no litter ect, my daughter loved the sunflower trail (temporary) and the hay barn, entrance price is cheap and you can buy animal feed."

"Forge Mill Farm is located in Sandwell Valley Park. Lovely farm with lots of different animals including sheep's, goats, chickens, bunnies, horses, pigs, caws etc."
Cons:
"The only quibble was the water stations had no paper towels and the water was freezing and on a day like that it's just too cold."
"Washing facilities lacking working soap dispensers and paper towels."
