Amazing place for the kids. Or even just the adults. Ice cream was amazing. Never had banana ice cream. Picked our own strawberries very juicy and full of flavour.
We came here after a morning at Harlow Carr in Harrogate. I'd seen lots of posts on Facebook about the tulip fields & also on the delicious food on offer. Being in the area we specifically came as we really wanted to try the waffles & ice cream & then visit the tulip fields. On arrival at the food area there was no information or signage about what you were queuing for & no menus in sight. The queue was outside of the building but there were no notices near the door explaining anything. The lady in front of us in the queue went to check inside & we heard her say the queue was just for ice cream & if you wanted other food you ordered further in. We went inside & again struggled to see a menu anywhere. We checked the chalk boards & couldn't see waffles listed so checked back near the ice cream end & there was a notice up saying some things weren't available that day. We finally managed to check with a member of staff who confirmed there were no waffles. We were hungry & a bit fed up by this point so didn't even visit the tulip fields as we wanted something to eat. We drove back to Ripley & found something to eat there instead. We were very disappointed as had been planning a visit since last year hoping to sample the sweet treats. It's quite far out of our way generally so we won't return again as the same thing may well happen again.
A lovely calm Sunday day out. Cows, donkeys, ponies, pigs with their piglets, goats, guinea pigs, ducklings, chicks, and sheep with their lambs. Our admission gave us the opportunity to feed a baby lamb (this treat i believe is season dependant) we had a little queue and got to hold a bottle where a hungry lamb was guided up to our chair and it chugged the bottle down. The play area is fantastic, aimed at children with the walking ability and upwards. If your brave enough to venture over the stream there is a little woodland adventure to be had (not suitable for buggy’s). The cafe was so clean, really fast service and great food. Childs sandwich came with crisps. We both had a toasty and ordered a portion of chips to share between us all. Toilet facilities were also great and I saw baby changing facilities and a lot of high chairs available. Cutlery and sauces brought to your table with your order, best to give your table number when ordering. There is lots of picnic benches and there was hand washing facilities after seeing the animals. The newest barn held two bouncy castles too. Cafe also offered sweet cakes and ice-creams.
We always enjoy our days out here, From petting the animals, running wild in the indoor adventure park to riding the zip line and go karts outside.. there's lots to do for all ages and it has a real family feel about it.. Kids and adults are priced the same to enter currently £7.95 under 2's are free.. Ice-cream is local and tastes delicious. We've done the maze Pumpkin picking, Wild flower field Visit Santa Pyo strawberries And other random days out
Great family day out and good value. The various activities throughout the day are interesting and enjoyable for little ones (e.g. animal petting, lamb feeding, tractor ride). The onsite cafe is really good with quick service. The star of the show is of course the ice cream. Well worth a visit
