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!!!

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).

My family and I paid £75 to go to the new year celebrations that was advertised as having entertainment and food. The Curry was served in paper bowls that wasnt very stable and really small portions. Certainly not worth £25 each. We decided to go in to the other room to see the entertainment and it was rammed. Not enough seats or tables for everyone and no where to stand. We could have gone back into the cafe area but I paid to see the entertainment. Surely if tickets were given out they knew how many people to cater for and make sure there was enough room for everyone. We came away at 9.30 and went home. Really really disappointed and a complete waste of money. The most expensive and disgusting curry iv ever had.

Stopped by for a coffee on way into Llandudno, However changed our minds when we saw the £2.50 entrance fee. Whilst i understand costs have to be covered, we only wanted a coffee. Also now a entrance fee is being charged they could do with using the money to sort out the road leading to the farm.
Its just a shame that yet another attraction is out of reach for so many families, after all £10 for a family of 4 on a low wage or benefits is a hell of a lot of money to find.
Sorry but we wont be back.

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 !

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.

Visited with the family. Rarely will you visit a farm park which offers such amazing value for money in such a beautiful coastal situation. Grandchildren loved it - Tractor rides - enjoyed feeding the goats, deer, lamas and calves. The bird sanctuary is wonderful. Thank you.

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.

Sat at table numbered with a flower pot, set up as if for eating.No information about procedure so asked in the cafe and was told very rudely that there was a covid pandemic and they were only serving the other side, however I could order and take round ( far side is by the play area so can keep an eye on my children).Decided on food, returned to order only to be told that it wasnt possible to take round and I shouldn't be in there (lack of signage to inform of this) and that the area by the playarea is for drinks only from the serving area. When I asked where this was I was apruptly told it was closed as they were having issues with it.
Finally it opened, three staff members squashed into it with two unable to work the till. No sanitiser in sight and staff not sanitising between customers or handling cash. Masks not covering noses on some staff.Staff clearing tables and piling into an already overflowing bin; still no hand hygiene.
No social distancing in queue for drinks or for toilets. Temporary socially distanced markings could have easily been put in place across the site. Considering the current restrictions still in place a very poor effort by Bodafen.

People complaining that it’s £2.50 to get in really need to have a word with themselves - it’s a working farm with overheads and rent. It’d cost you more to take a family of 4 to McDonalds and at least here you get some fresh air, a nice walk, and the chance to see some animals!
We stopped here to pass an hour in between other activities and it was a perfectly good place to visit. The “nasty” farm dog was lovely and incredibly friendly. All the staff we encountered were friendly and although the shop could do with a bit of TLC, it wasn’t horrendous.
The owls looked well cared for - they’re carnivores so don’t be surprised if there’s a few dead chicks in their enclosures. It’s what they eat!! The deer and goats were very friendly and the llamas were amusing! There’s not an awful lot to do there but it’s a great way to spend an hour with a lovely sea view!
Only downside is that all the outdoor soap dispensers were empty and in these trying times, these really need filling up!!

We have elderly Mum (87) and disabled brother (55) with us next week, is there any other access apart from the 10-minute walk to get to you? Mum will use a wheelchair if necessary, brother not happy to as he is a bit too heavy for any of us to push! Thanks.
