Visit websitePleasantly surprised So many animals, we arrived early so they were all active. Lamb barn was amazing, could spend all day in there. Chicken handling was the best, worth you que. Inflatable pillow was great fun, nice time for grown ups to chill out. Would definitely recommend
A delightful day out with plenty to do; feeding lambs; stroking chicks; watching a wild bird display; mini go kart track etc. Activities are timed so kids can segue from one to the next with little waiting around. There's not much pressure to buy once inside the park - food and drinks are available but there are picnic tables if you're brought your own supplies. A go kart ride is £1 and two kids can sit on the kart. It was a real pleasure to visit this beautifully park. The staff were friendly and helpful and the toilets were very clean too 😄
Excellent day out, plenty of friendly animals. You can buy a feed bag for £1 and lasts a good time too. Great variety of animals, went into the reptile area and everything was nice too. enjoyed it. Stopped off at the afternoon tea restaurant and was amazed at the price and the food was delicious. Will be returning again. 10/10
I took the kids on a fairly cold day, my son got a free entry ticket following a visit a few months previous with school so it meant I was just paying for myself and my daughter. Finding Barleylands is relatively easy, and plenty of parking. I initially thought the park was fairly small, but it goes back further than I expected. In terms of activities there was obviously the farm animals and we managed to have a go at feeding the lambs. Kids also did some biscuit decorating (and I also got to eat one!) There was barrell ride, a tractor ride, playground, big bouncy pillow, soft play and some ride on's that the kids can just jump on and cruise about in. We got there at 10.30 and we left at 3.30 ish, so there for a good few hours! My daughter also did the little trail and got a small chocolate before we left. A good day had by all - but a bit cold...!!
Great day out with the whole family. Everyone enjoyed it. There’s enough activities for the whole day. I was extremely surprised on how CLEAN the place was. Toilets were cleaned very regularly, there was no rubbish around, the grounds are well kept and the animals looked happy. I would definitely recommend and would come back again
