Old McDonald’s Farms is amazing — my child absolutely loved it! There are so many activities and rides for kids, all with great attention to safety. The kids especially loved looking at all the animals. The staff was extremely friendly and incredibly helpful. When my child fell, they were quick to bring icepacks and check in on us, and they were attentive about safety precautions during all the rides. Highly recommend this place for toddlers and young kids!

I came today with my mum, dad and four year old nephew. We all had a great day filled with animal, rides and soft play. My nephew loved going on all of the rides and there was so much to do. We will definitely come again.

It’s a place with lots of activities for younger children, including rides, animal encounters, play areas, and seasonal events. We can spend most of a day there. It is suitable for one day trip Friendly staff and relatively short queues, even on busy days. Every hour different programmes are available in different locations alme special activities for kids such as brooming the rabbit etc and stage show also available to entertain kids. parts of the park in need of refurbishment. So some rides are closed. Families looking for a combination of a small theme park and a farm rather than a traditional working farm experience it is a best choice

We had a really enjoyable visit to Old MacDonald’s Farm and there was plenty to keep young children entertained throughout the day. There are lots of activities, including rides that are perfect for little ones and a great outdoor playground where the kids could happily spend ages exploring. The soft play area was also a big hit and a really good option for when the children needed a break or the weather wasn’t as favourable. One particular member of staff really stood out during our visit – they were exceptionally friendly, upbeat, and genuinely engaged with the children, which made a noticeable difference to our experience. It’s always lovely when staff go that extra step to make families feel welcome. Overall, it’s a great family day out with lots to do for younger children, and we’d happily visit again.

What a fantastic day we had here during the Easter holidays. We had a mix of ages from adults to children aged 8 & 9 & a 2 year old. There was something for everyone even us adults enjoyed it all. I loved the animals in various enclosures around the park. All looked well cared for & in clean pens. There were plenty of rides & interactive experiences regularly to keep the little ones occupied until the next attraction. They were so excited keep seeing the next thing & the next. We got there early for opening at 10am which meant we saw a lot quite quickly as not many other people were about. The rides opened from 11am & the doggy rollercoaster from 12.30 but there is plenty to see whilst waiting for that time. The car park is big with an overflow but I can imagine that gets busy in the summer. But we liked going early & getting home before the rush hour traffic of the m25 We took our own lunch to cut costs & there’s plenty of places to sit including themed covered tables but you can get food, snacks & drinks from different kiosks as you go around the park. We were lucky with the weather & it didn’t rain but if it’s a wet day it is mostly outside attractions. If you buy tickets over a week in advance you do get a good discount. If I lived a bit nearer I would visit again in the year as I really liked it & so did the children in the group. They do have different events on at different times in the year so you would see something different each time. It is a good day out for the entrance price with plenty to do. The staff were all really helpful & friendly. There was a lovely lady & guy working the carousel & the crazy barnyard ride who were especially helpful & good to interact with.
