No signage to entrance, admission area from car park. We even got stop by another family on our way out in carpark, where to find the entrance to farm. The farm itself is in need for a refurbishment, broken fences, pathways are uneven. Definitely not buggie friendly, as majority is uphill and on uneven surfaces. Hardly any cover or no cover for outside. In extreme heat, animals aren't visible for the kids. Which is unfortunate. Slides should have been closed off due to the extreme heat. As the slides are metal, which were hot. No rides available, only teacups and swan ride onsite. Only available at certain times of the day. Clearly due to limited staff availability. Day out was a complete waste of time. Literally did a circuit and left. Probably there only just an hour (if that at all). Will be a place I will be avoiding in future.

We visited Lee Valley Farm with two young children over the Easter period, and I have to say it was a truly lovely experience — our first time there and definitely not our last. There was so much for little ones to enjoy. The Easter egg hunt was well organised and could be done at your own pace, which was perfect with younger children. There were also charming live shows featuring characters like Peter Rabbit and Alice in Wonderland, which really brought the day to life. The children loved seeing the animals, including rabbits, goats, a donkey and guinea pigs, and there were plenty of interactive areas such as swings, slides and chalk boards to keep them entertained. The teacup ride was also a big hit! One thing I particularly appreciated was the large covered tent area. We brought our own picnic, and it was great to have a sheltered space to sit and eat comfortably, especially as it was quite windy on the day. There were also food options available on site if needed. The only downside, and something I feel is worth mentioning, is accessibility for buggies. I had a double buggy, and it was quite difficult to push over the cobbled areas and wooden pathways. This made getting around a bit challenging at times, and I do feel that a smoother, more buggy-friendly path would make a big difference for families with young children. Overall, it was a fantastic day out — well organised, family-friendly and full of lovely touches. I would absolutely recommend it and will definitely be returning.

£55.50 for 2 adults, 2 kids. Feel like iv been ripped off, hardly any animals & you cant actually get to the animals to pet them. Biggest hit was the bouncy pillow, kids enjoyed that. Cafe by the bouncy pillow had very poor choices. Right rip off, never again. Go to old macdonalds farm where you can actually pet the animals. Just look at the photos iv attached & you've pretty much seen all there is to see.

Very cute farm with lovely staff who clearly care a lot :) We had a lovely time when we visited recently over the weekend and we would definitely come back again. We loved the Wallaby walk and the bunnies. There is something to do for all ages and there is an activity schedule so that you can watch the animals being fed at different parts of the day.
