Play @ Lower Drayton Farm Reviews Summary

Play Areas

Pros:

• "THE best indoor play we’ve been to within the area. It’s huge with so so much to explore."
• "The little play shops, vets, mechanic, etc are great for little kids too."
• "Fantastic place, the Christmas play area was fantastic."
• "The soft play is the best we've been too, the outdoor activities are great and our daughter loved the animals."
• "The park is amazing, and the sand pit has loads of cool little bits for the kids to play with."
• "Indoor play is large and will definitely be enjoyed by kids of all ages while parents chill and have a drink."
• "The soft play was obviously a huge investment as it's vast, a few animals to see and stroke, huge jumping inflatables that the children loved and some added playground bits and pieces."

Cons:

• "Complete disappointment, so much so that we arrived at 11.20, took 10 mins to show tickets and we left at 1pm."
• "However, this year wasn't great. Parking was horrendous and took us nearly 25 minutes to park."
• "Seems like all the attention and focus is on the pumpkin side, as the play side seems completely abandoned!"
• "Baby play area full of older kids made it unusable no staff regulating it."
• "The only issue I found was that the indoor soft play has an open exit at the top so children can wander off if they aren't being watched."
• "Unless you’re wanting a soft play/outdoor play area for older children it’s pointless going."
• "Unfortunately the 'farm' part was extremely disappointing compared to other farm attraction we have been to."

Staff and Service

• "All the staff were extremely friendly, polite and happy."
• "All the staff we spoke to were really nice and very helpful."
• "Fantastic staff, great facilities and we had the pleasure of meeting one of the family owners Farmer Richard who was SO lovely."
• "Staff were very helpful and smiling."
• "The staff are amazing, they always went above and beyond to make our stay as fun and memorable as possible."
• "The young staff are knowledgeable and a credit to the farm."
• "The staff were friendly and told us about some of the animals we saw."

Cons:

• "The food is overpriced and was not cooked and the member of staff I asked a question reg cooking it was unhelpful."
• "Staff uneducated when giving talks about the animal."
• "All staff were just talking amongst themselves with no regard for the paying customer."
• "It's a shame that even the staff seemed deflated by the amount of complaining from customers."
• "Many of the staff members were so enthusiastic however a couple were completely disinterested."
• "Greeted by ‘Have you booked!?’ Where did the manners go, ‘hello’ ‘good morning’ have you booked?"
• "However the staff weren't exactly helpful or very nice, we'd ordered food and whilst talking to the lady serving she just walked off."

• "Really reasonably priced and the lemon drizzle cake was to die for!!"
• "It may seem that £17 per child is expensive but there is so much to do its worth it!"
• "Love this place its the second time we have been and there is loads to do to keep the kids occupied and is really good value."

Cons:

• "Nothing is cheap but I guess adult tickets are too expensive."
• "Overall ridiculous far too expensive for what it is save your money folks."
• "Came to this the other day, was left feeling a bit robbed by the cost of this place."
• "THEY WANTED £68 TO GO IN! Crazy money, don't waste your fuel going there."
• "This is quite possibly the most expensive farm trip out you'll ever come across, and the price doesn't reflect the facilities/activities at all."
