    Amazing value family fun in the fresh air
    Absolutely fantastic day down on the farm. From feeding the lambs to seeing the cows and calves from the tractor ride, digging through straw to find hidden Easter eggs and following the trail to find the clues for the Easter message (and a sweet treat). This is proper family fun. So many things to do, kept my daughter (8 year old) happily entertained all day. The play areas are brilliant too. For me, this is one of the best value days out around. We’ll be back!

    Brilliant day out!
    First visit with our grandchildren. What a fantastic place. We started with lunch. Delicious homemade lentil soup and panini. The wee ones had a kids box - wee cheese sandwich, crisps & drink. Good value for money. Then to the activities. Kids love a good bounce and the pillows were just perfect. Then they met the guinea pigs & rabbit. They were excited to feed with carrots and pet the animals. Then lots of fun going round the other activities. We stayed for 5 hours and didn’t have time for the tractor ride 🤣 - the kids (3 year olds) were sad to leave! Well worth the money. A fantastic day out. Two very tired wee ones who would love to go back soon.

    Amazing place
    This place is fab. Have been what feels like hundreds of times over the past few years. Loads to keep children occupied for hours. Always feel like we’ve had a good day of fresh air. Their sign saying something like wholesome family fun in the fresh air is so accurate. Loads of animals to see. Hay barn is always a favourite and good for when the rain comes on. Cafe is great. Staff are always so nice and friendly. Can’t fault it.

    Bonfire
    Used to take my little boy here regularly and we always really enjoyed it. Hadn't been for a couple of years but we recently visited for the bonfire. Great fun! Superb bonfire, loads for the kids to do on-site, and the food in the cafe is very good.

    Christmas at the farm
    Christmas at the farm was absolutely brilliant! The little touches were lovely and Santa knowing the kids names was just fab. Could really see they’d gone the extra mile with the decorations and the tractor ride. Loved that the driver spoke to you in his microphone. The first Santa that’s actually gave a decent gift and not some £1 plastic crap. It did make me laugh though that’s the first Santa I’ve seen with tattoos! Great day thank you.

    Hairy Coos / Cows are here in January
    Hairy Coos (cows) If you came all the way to Scotland from the US and want to see the hairy coos, this is your place! There are several outside, and you can get close enough to almost touch them. There is food to buy to feed them. They only charged us $13 for our family since we didn’t have small children to play on all the kiddie toys. My daughters got Great pictures and videos ! We have 2 adults and 3 college daughters. Some of the other places say they have hairy coos, but they don’t in the winter. You’ll be fine if you don’t have boots. There are paved paths.

Good way to spend a few hours with the 4 year old. Plenty to keep us busy on a traditional rainy Scottish summer. Recommend the cafe for lunch we had a delicious bowl of soup each and toasted sandwiches. Felt like the ice cream was a little overpriced but otherwise delicious.

Lovely day today so decided to take my kids last minute to Briarlands. Checked the website as I’m aware it’s Easter weekend, great they take walk ins. So set off on the hour journey to arrive to a sign “pre booked tickets only”! Spoke to a member of staff who was less than helpful and the phone number goes to a message saying we’re busy basically. They eventually posted after 1pm an hour after I was there that no walk-ins will be allowed.
I’ll just book Heads of Ayr or Blair Drummond for next week. At least their site is reliable, and facilities look better also from what I saw. Disgraceful

Attended here today (13th Aug) with my Wife, 2 young children ( 3 & 7 ) and their Granny.
Place was busy but not too busy to make us feel unsafe with social distancing.
Plenty of stuff to keep kids entertained, even though Tractor Ride and Animal Handling closed due to Covid. Good to see the staff actively cleaning equipment.
Only disappointment was that the kids meal was half of a sandwich and maybe a handful of pom bear crisps stuck inside a zipper bag, unsure why they could not give a full sandwich and a full bag of crisps, especially for the price!
Think next visit we will be bringing a picnic.

Great for kids, food diabolical.

Plenty for kids to do, however don’t eat there. I had a mushy fish finger sandwich with some limp lettuce, supermarket bread and a sachet of tartare sauce which I was charged seven quid for. It was thoroughly disgusting, jeez if you can’t provide crispy fish fingers in some decent bread that’s appetising and is put together with a bit of care, it’s time to hand over the catering arrangements to someone who can.

Twenty seven quid for a few bits of pizza for the two boys, my fish finger sandwich, a bowl of soup for the missus two coffees and juice for the boys, all presented like a dogs dinner……

Went with 3 kids and 2 adults. Cost under £40 in total which I thought was great value for a family day out, (this also included paying extra for 4 tickets for the tractor ride). Booked on line before we went and save 10%. It was easy enough to find, just bedside the safari park. Lots of parking spaces and parking was free. First impression was that the farm park was very clean and there was lots of open and covered places to sit and have a picnic. There a wide range of things for the kids to do which kept the kids entertained all day. Kids and adults loved it, staff were all extremely friendly, you were able to bring in your own food but there was also a café and stall outside to buy ice cream. Would certainly return, was a great day out.

We had a lovely day here yesterday despite the rain at times. Really well looked after farm park. Lovely and clean and lots of green space. Tractor ride was really good and our boys loved it. Go karts were also a big hit and nice to see different tracks and cars for different age groups. Great friendly staff too.

Attended today with my 6 year old to meet Santa. The whole experience was well organised and great value for money.

The staff were outstanding made sure it was a magical experience for my daughter. I would highly recommend a visit here much less manic than the usual Santa experience’s
