I thought I’d leave an honest review and address some of the issues I had seen when I was researching this please to visit with my family.
Today was a dry and sunny day after the summer holidays have ended so couldn’t have been better for a visit here, I admit my experience may have been different if it was wet and full of other families.
Anyway we were greeted by the loveliest of ladies who was seeing face masks to sell in the small shop. And every member of staff we met thereafter was friendly and welcoming. Entry fee was £2.50pp for over 3s and the £1 bags of animal feed were a decent size and not overpriced considering it’s so cheap to enter.
There were plenty birds of prey to see with lovely signage explaining about them, well looked after and I had a quick chat with their keeper. There weren’t a huge array of animals but enough for our three year old to spend an hour walking the circular route and feeding some friendly ones. The path was great and the entire place pushchair friendly. The nettles weren’t overgrown and the whole place seemed spotless for a farm. The only gripe was that there was a little dog muck on the grass which my husband cleaned up. Speaking of dogs, there were about 8 running around the place and caused no fuss whatsoever and took no notice of visitors.
The play park was ample and in good working order, the little castle looked in great condition and the whole site has the most amazing views on to the sea front and pier. There were no tractor rides at the time of our visit. Upon entrance through the shop they had a little section of ride-ons for the kids which is a nice touch and a couple of places with wash basins for hand sanitisation. The toilets were spotless too and they had baby changing with enough room for a pushchair to be taken inside.
Our visit to the cafe was surprising lovely. There’s a courtyard out the back with a cover and it almost felt like being abroad. Sadly I didn’t get a photo. The food was lovely, I had rarebit, my toddler had a tuna sandwich which came with crisps and a drink and my husband had a ciabatta. It was approx £7 for an adult lunch meal. It was ok to take the pushchair up into it too and there is alternative seating on the park side-strictly no picnics allowed though which is fair enough.
All in all, we spent three hours here and it was a great little place to waste away some time for not so little expense. We ticked the toddlers boxes of farm, feeding animals, playing in a park and eating decent food. We loved it and will definitely be visiting on our next annual holiday.

A good few hours spent here - the birds of prey are beautiful. Food was quite expensive but came quickly and it was tasty. The only downside really was the state of the toilets and one of the outdoor handfasting stations had no soap or paper towels, so kids were going straight from feeding animals on to the play equipment with only water washed hands.
Overall the £2.50 fee was more than worth it

What a lovely little find this working farm is. Short walking distance from the great Orme, approx 25 mins, we had a glorious sunny day, we loved feeding the goats, deer and llamas, we went back for more food for them! The birds of prey section was informative 👍 we stayed for lunch too, quite reasonably priced. It only cost £3.50 to get into the farm itself, we spent a couple of hours there without realising! Must mention the pigs and chickens too.. farm's not complete without them, there are also horses. Because this is a working farm staff are constantly on the go looking after it. Oh and there are cows sheep and geese on the entrance to the farm. Great day out.

My family and I went to Bodafon Farm Park for our NYE Celebrations at a cost of £25 a head.
The driveway leading to the farm is definitely a test for the cars suspension with some very big potholes. Surely they could fill them in.
There appeared to be little signage guiding people to the rooms where the event was taking place but we managed to find it.
The room was warn and we found a table to sit at.
We ordered some drinks and sat at the table.
The food was served at 20:30, thirty minutes after advertised and it consisted of either Jamaican curry or veal stew served in paper dishes and some bread with optional butter. No spoons only knives and forks. I enjoyed the curry and sampled the stew. Nice but considering it was £25 a head not very big portions.
Next onto the entertainment in another room, which when entered there was no room to sit at (all the tables were taken) and even standing would have proved bothersome, always likely to be in someone's way.
We left early (21:30 and followed others leaving early), went for a piazza (because we were still hungry) and made our own entertainment.
I don't know where I will spend NYE 2020 but I definitely know it won't be at Bodafon Farm Park.
Very disappointed!!!

One of our favourite places to visit in llandudno especially in the summer. The kids love the tractor rides and feeding the animals and food is always good in the cafe. Sad to hear its closing its doors but we'll definitely be back before then. Lots of lovely memories from our visits.

We have been here many times over the years and the grandchildren have loved it, yes it can be a bit mucky but it is a working farm. We were disappointed with the new charge from last August as we only use the cafe, now that the children have grown up, and basically that added £2.50 to each of our orders. Just been on their web site and if you bring proof of residency ( Conwy, Flintshire, Denbighshire and Gwynedd) then you can get a free pass. I look forward to enjoying tea and cake and the wonderful view again.

I'm pretty sure this place is free for locals; however, I'm not too tight to be unwilling to part with £2.50 and even at that price it's an absolute bargain if you like animals.
Let's get the criticism out of the way first ... please update your website! The day we visited we drove 50 minutes to get here looking forward to having breakfast only to be told you don't serve breakfast anymore. We would have stayed a lot longer if we weren't so hungry. The website has a menu on it which shows a selection of breakfast meals. The only food options available to us on the day were cakes.
The park itself is a great source of entertainment and if you like birds of prey then this is definitely a place to visit! These owls have brilliant personality and I was definitely playing hide and seek with one little owl for around 20 minutes which was just hilarious.

Bought tickets for Nye celebrations at bodafon farm £25 per person Hardly any seating , cold dark barn , disgusting curry served on paper plates with bread and butter..felt like we where all in a prison camp waiting for our death sentence. Musical entertainment not much better. Over priced tickets..once bitten ( will never recommend felt robbed).

Very concerned about the welfare of the animals there especially the poor pigs and chickens who's enclosure is in a terrible state and very small. Also the lamas coats were all matted and had obviously never been groomed. There was no soap or hand gel available in most of the sinks which is very bad for young children who always have their hands in their mouth. I would of thought things could of now been improved there considering that there is now an entry fee for tourists...but no improvements have been made for years. No pony rides or tractor rides on when we visited and the fort is becoming very run down.

We went with our 2 young grandchildren and was hoping to have a few hours to break up the day. We were in and out within 45 minutes. No ride on tractor s no play area and after paying for us all to go in and buy animal food the children were very dissatisfied don’t waste your money !
