Play Areas

Pros:

  • "Lots of soft play areas, inflatable castles and huge inflatable tractors."
  • "Cracking huge outdoor play area and more soft play inside."
  • "So much space for the kids to run about outside with swings, trampolines, zip wires, ride ons and animals."
  • "By far the best value farm park around. Wide variety of animals to see and feed. Loads of INDOOR play options including 4 soft play zones, bouncy castles, trampolines and slides."
  • "Excellent day out for children, with lots of animals to see, bouncy castles, soft play and a huge outdoor area with playground, ride on tractors and pedal go karts."

Cons:

  • "Also the play zones are coated grime."
  • "Also all of the children's apparatus needs a very good clean. Dust literally falling off from bouncy castle when kids playing."
  • "It's very unkempt, holes in the trampolines, flat tyres on the go carts."
  • "Everywhere is dirty, from the sofas that need to go back to the recycling centre to the state of the indoor play equipment."
  • "Could be so much better than it is. Unfortunately basic hygiene in the indoor play areas is non existent."
  • "Outdoor play equipment isn't great and clearly needs some investment and maintenance."
  • "No hot running water to wash hands either."

Animals and Wildlife

Pros:

  • "Lovely newborn lambs, donkets, goats and cows."
  • "The animals are really tame and so used to people it's great to pet them and not be worried about a bite."
  • "Farm Animals well looked after, healthy and happy, in open fields."

Cons:

  • "To call this a farm is a bit of a stretch as there really weren't too many animals to see."
  • "Massive disappointment and definitely not a 'farm' to visit if you want to take the kids to see some 'farm' animals."
  • "Awful conditions for the poor animals. Donkeys with curled hooves. Rabbits isolated and in sawdust and fed muesli. No shelter from the endless children."
  • "Was really disappointed - we got there thinking it would be fun day out however all there was 50 donkies and 50 sheep all scattered around - and very few animals stuck in cages."
  • "Very disappointed with our visit today, hardly any animals for the children to see."
  • "Could do with more animals."
  • "No cons mentioned regarding staff and service."

Facilities and Accessibility

Pros:

  • "Updated toilets were fab and well maintained although water in taps was dribbling out?"
  • "Wheelchair access ♿ and a very good disabled toilet/changing room."
  • "A selection of benches and tables but also the added benefit of sofas around the indoor areas, perfect for less able."
  • "The toilets were lovely and clean when we used them at 4pm!"
  • "Great new toilet block, much improved."
  • "Parking direct near the entrance for disability."
  • "The whole place is very accessible, and great they allow 1 free carer and half price ticket for disabled person."

Cons:

  • "For a parent of 2 disabled children who need constant supervision, it meant my children missed out on most of the soft play areas."
  • "Absolute rubbish complete waste of £25 for the family ticket the indoor play area was wet especially the ball pit it was a frosty morning and the barn that the play area was in wasn't fully enclosed so open to the elements."
  • "We did find it was very clear adults were not allowed on the soft play."
  • "Everything is a bit worn and tatty though, and the whole thing is really just a bunch of barns with some play equipment thrown in, not very inviting."

  • "The entrance fees and food/ drinks prices are fair too."

Cons:

  • "Now the price has doubled, they've gotten rid of loyalty schemes and family discounts."
  • "It was the best part of £30 to enter and that was for 1 adult and 3 children (2, 4 and 7) which to me is a lot higher than other places nearby that do actually offer more."
  • "We paid £30 for a family of 4 and to be fair at £10 it would be overpriced!"
