Held our daughters birthday party here. They had a beautiful hut for us to host in which appeared to be newly refurbished and the team led by Karen could not have been more helpful or friendly. Kayleigh decorated the A-board outside the hut which delighted our daughter as it made her feel so special. It’s these small touches that really elevated it for us. We love coming here anyway, but now we can’t wait to get back! Such a wonderful place, doing lots of good work in the community, great food selection, animals very well looked after, what more could you want?

Spent a fantastic afternoon here with my daughter, her partner and my grandson. We had a very nice lunch, which were freshly made sandwiches and nachos. The animals all appear very well looked after and were happy to come over to say hello. Hand sanitiser was available at each paddock and the toilet facilities were very clean. Highly recommend for a visit 👍🏼

Took young children here on easter Monday. Was busy but didn't queue to get in. Prices very reasonable. Toilets ok. Plenty of parking. Bought food for animals which kids really enjoyed giving to goats & sheep! Extra bouncy castle there although not used as had to queue. Regular things like slides / swings fully enjoyed. plenty of animals to see and touch.

What a gorgeous day we had at Fairfield Farm Park. From start to finish it was wonderful and Karen, David and Stella made sure we were well looked after and went above and beyond when we had queries about the food. Everything we had was delicious and the passion fruit cake was the best I’ve had! Such amazing service as well as it being for an amazing cause. I had never visited before as I’m not from the area but we will definitely be back and hope to see Karen and her team again as they were so kind. What a difference it makes to go somewhere so smiley and friendly. Thank you for having us!

Lovely day out with two small children. We spent around 2.5 hours here including having some food and playing in the play park. It was really nice and the kids loved it. It’s probably best to bring some sandwiches or snacks with you as there isn’t a menu there. Plenty of seating though and small snacks/ice creams and coffee are available. The animals are well taken care of and the whole place is nice and clean. I would have given 5 stars if there were more different animals there, but definitely recommend a visit :)
