Great place for young families

I’ve been bringing my children here since they were babies - they’re now 9 and 5! I would particularly recommend visiting at Easter when there are lots of extra activities available including lamb cuddling, rabbit holding, pig and goat grooming. There’s opportunities to have longish...More

Lovely to be able to get close to the animals

We had a great time here. We bought a bag of food with our tickets and were advised how to feed the different animals. It was a lovely thing to do, and they are all such characters. My own favourites were the alpacas but the...More

Lovely family farm

We have visited Baylham for many, many years. We love the family feel, the “up close” with the animals, the tours/events through the days during school holiday weeks, the country walk by the river. Everyone is so friendly. Plenty of free parking, a lovely walk...More

Perfect place for a children’s party.

We have visited Baylham a number of times in the past, always enjoying the relaxed atmosphere and beautiful setting, so this was a natural choice for our daughter’s 8th birthday party. We were not disappointed! From the moment we arrived, the team were friendly, welcoming...More

Great day out

Great day out feeding and looking at the animals. Staff very friendly and helpful. The animals seem very happy and most are very friendly especially the goats who come and sit with you on the bench. All in all a great day.
