Just getting around to reviewing but went a few months ago with friends and although it is a small area there is plenty to do. If you have kids there's a large play area and cafe before you even get to the animals. There is also a large swing park and water boat part. My friends and I dont have kids so we just skipped all this and went straight to the animals. Each animal looks well taken care of and you can even purchase food to feed then which was great. Even the smaller animals like the birds were fantastic to watch. We also had a go on the go on the pedal karts and mini golf/connect 4 area which was a nice change of pace to have something to do outside in the sun. Large shop as well with more than just farm merch. Definitely somewhere to pop into if your in the area.

Well what can I say about Dalscone if you not been before, I highly recommend. Dalscone is amazing and beautiful well kept farm park. All ages can enjoy. They have had a new upgrade on the farm park and it was the best for children, play park, mini golf, bumper boats and the go karts. The team at Dalscone is so friendly and very chatty. If your on social media please do follow them Dalscone farm as they give out amazing content. 💜 Thank you all at Dalscone for amazing visit. 💜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💜

Great place to visit for the whole day ,so much to see and do for kids of all ages. One grandson went missing so we informed the staff who are all connected by radio ,quickly found him. There is a security measure at the exirmt so he wouldn't gave gotten out ,but I am sure he wasn't the first to dissappear behind grandparents back,well done to the staff and the lady who helped. The kids enjoyed the downhill tubes ,the sack slide and especially the pedal karts, the oldest grandson spent about 3 hours going round and round. They got to feed the goat's and donkeys. Big soft play indoors beside the cafe which has a great choice of food and especially the strawberry and cream tarts. We were staying at a holiday camp so only a half hour drive. We live in the north east of Scotland so it's pretty far to drive otherwise we would go more often
