A small hands on farm. When we first arrived we weren't sure what to expect as there didn't seem much to see!, however the farm does have lots to see, the animals are all friendly and want to be fed and petted.

My daughter and her friends love this place. Where else in Aberdeen do they get so close to animals and also to feed them. Well worth a visit if you have children. More

Doonies Farm was pretty feeble when I lived in the area some years back and I hoped that it had improved in the interim period, so that we could enjoy it with out little grandson, since their website commented 'Maintenance work has now been completed at Doonies Farm'..... my question is 'WHAT maintenance work?
