Searched out this farm on a two day visit to the area. Animals seem to be well cared for and a lot of opportunity to involve youngsters while feeding at demonstration times. Nice play area. Probably good for a two hour visit for a young family.

This is a great little half day trip out showing how animals can live and be cared for. Don't have high expectations as the animals are mostly rescues with a few exotics to see. This isn't a zoo with lions and tigers and bears! It's a nice little half day trip for families with kids. Take your wellies as you will need them and maybe some wet wipes.

I wasn’t going to write a review as reviewed in 2023 however after seeing the negative reviews I thought I needed to. We went over the Easter half term with storm Kathleen hanging around with lots of wind and rain. Our afternoon out was lovely. We held bearded dragons, blue tongue skints, tortoises, rabbits, Guinea pigs and walked a ferret. We also feed, sheep, wallaby’s, lambs, alpacas. Stroked all the animals. Had wonderful keeper talks and learnt about black foxes. The keepers and the guys on work experience were extremely knowledgable and really did care for the customers and animals. Yes some of the fields were muddy the staff had laid down extra straw and pallets to try and help the animals but each one looked like they didn’t care they were muddy! And played crazy golf. Yes it’s dated but did it stop us having fun, no. The food was slow in coming but was it any wonder it was school holidays. It was busy and it was cooked food not prepared sandwiches. Soft play was incredibly noisy - but isn’t all soft play. The kids all appeared to have fun and play together. For the price you can’t complain it’s a good morning or afternoon out helping support a local company who care for rescued and abandoned animals with little funding.

Average - Good few hours out but other than the play barn and feeding some of the animals there's not much to do. The indoor play is still the same as it was around 20 years ago when I visited as a child, would be good if they updated it with a fresh look, also none of the arcade games work, the one duck ride they have is disassemble and broken, zip wire out of use, outdoor play castle needs some tlc, barns full of rats running round in with the rabbits ect. Could do with someone putting some money into it as everything feels run down, hand washing had no hot water and soap dispensers broken with flies and spiders in. Staff were lovely and helpful though when it came to being able to handle the animals (Rabbits, Ferrets, Reptiles).

It’s great value with lots of good play. Our grandchildren (ages 4, 6 & 7) had a wonderful time. We stayed 4 hours and could easily have stayed another hour, but dinner time called! Their favourites were the Play fort, Soft play, trampolines, feeding animals and snake handling. The staff are helpful and friendly. Personally I thought the play fort was brilliantly designed with loads to do on it whilst being safe for a wide range of ages. Top marks for this attraction. The snake handling and the hamster petting entranced them.

This place has so much potential but we found it to be tired, untidy, and unloved. There are inadequate outdoor washing facilities, considering the littles are encouraged to feed the animals. What facility there was, was terrible, no hot water, no drying machine that worked, no soap dispensers that worked either. None of the ice cream cabins were open - summer holidays too! No staff anywhere to query anything with so you were left to figure out which way to walk, and what animals were in the cages. The limited amount of cages that did have signs, we’re old and weathered and need rejuvenating (or replacing) The indoor cages (birds, reptiles) looked like it had been thrown together as an afterthought. The cage windows were especially dirty making it difficult to find the animals in them. Definitely the worse part of the farm. Finally, the poor solo alpaca by the trampolines - terrible environment, nothing to keep it entertained, sleeping quarter appeared to be a couple of old pallets chucked together with weeds growing in front and it’s obvious no one is checking on them as there were 3 discarded Coke cans by the pallets, which had q obviously been there for quite a while as they were very weathered. Positive - the trampolines and soft play. I wouldn’t recommend this farm to anyway for the £14 charge

It is a huge place with very friendly staff. The cost of entry is high but to feed and look after the animals I suppose it has to be. The grounds need some work doing, more seating around the footpath would be good. There were a few but were overgrown with weeds and stingers. Hand washing facilities need to be improved, we got there when it opened yet 2 of the soap dispensers had no soap in them. The animals looked happy and very well looked after with plenty of space for them to run around in. The outside play area was great as was the indoor one. I would recommend that children wear long trousers as the children got stuck on the slides. Remember to wear socks as they do not sell them. Food was reasonably priced and had a good selection but drinks were over priced.

We visited last year and after reading the reviews I was dubious about returning but am so glad that I did. My 3 year old son had a great time here. If you are comparing it to other, more expensive attractions in the area (Puxton/Noahs ark) you will be disappointed. This is a farm, with lots of open space, plenty of parking and facilities and the price reflects this. We played mini golf, used the trampolines, looked at all of the animals and played in the large indoor soft play. The animals looked well cared for, grass areas neat and tidy, lots of picnic tables and the staff were all friendly and helpful (especially the lady on reception). If you have a leaflet (from a stand in a supermarket) you can get 10% off the admission price.

Having read so many negative reviews on here I am delighted to say that we had the most enjoyable time yesterday. My six year old grandson loved everything - but the castle was an absolute highlight. The 10 month old fell in love with the rabbits and even got to stroke one. We spent 6 hours there and every one of them was fun and interesting - the small animals & reptile stroking sessions were really good. The staff were excellent and friendly. Yes it is looking a bit tatty in places but certainly not unloved or neglected. We all loved it and will return.

Shame that this park is looking so tired as you can really see the potential for a fabulous attraction. The animals are lovely and we all enjoyed petting and feeding them, particularly the goats. But a lot of areas are overgrown and remnants of rides don’t help the appearance. We were a group of 8 so it cost quite a lot for us to visit and we left after 3 hours having seen everything. The shop is very very overpriced. If you like feeding and petting animals it is a nice place for a half day visit.
