We had an amazing time at Mead Open Farm with the whole family! There are so many activities for children of all ages, both indoors and outdoors, which kept everyone entertained throughout the day. The animals are lovely, well cared for, and there are plenty of opportunities to get up close and interact with them. The farm is clean, well organised, and the staff are friendly and helpful. A fantastic family day out—we’ll definitely be visiting again! 😊🐑🐐🚜

We visited during Dino week and my daughters had a fantastic time! So many different activities for all different age ranges. My daughters love the pirate ship splash park bit. I recommend getting there early during peak times as the queue is really long. Food is a bit pricey but most places are these days so we always take a picnic. Plenty of parking and seating around the farm. Well worth the annual tickets.

There is so much todo so really is worth every penny. I love how its spacious and loads of places to sit. Id recommend bringing your own food and drinks to save cash. The animals are so sweet. Dino week was amazing. Loads of photo opportunities plus activities throughout the day.

Great place for families! We visited with three children (ranging from a few years old up to 11), and they all had a fantastic time. There’s a great mix of indoor and outdoor play areas, including climbing walls, rope courses, and more. The indoor slides are a particular highlight—highly recommended! There are also plenty of farm animals that children can get up close to and feed, which made the experience even more enjoyable. A fun and memorable day out for kids of all ages!

We had such a wonderful time visiting Mead Open Farm during the Easter break. It was truly an amazing outing, filled with fun activities and a lively atmosphere that made the day extra special. From the moment we arrived, there was so much to see and do. The Easter themed events added a magical touch to the experience, making it even more exciting for the children. My daughter absolutely loved every moment from exploring the farm to enjoying the play areas and interactive activities. Seeing her so happy and full of excitement was the highlight of the day. She had an unforgettable time and it was a perfect way to spend part of her Easter holiday. Overall, it was a fantastic family day out and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and memorable experience with their children
