We had a brilliant time here, great medium sized farm for toddlers. Pram accessible areas and paths, however some areas are a bit tight to fit through with the pram. Not overly busy or crowded, lots of different animals to see so kept our toddler entertained for a couple of hours.

Been several times. Plenty of free parking and open at weekends and during school holidays. Got some fab pics and videos of the animals including the porcupines. Would highly recommend a visit :)

Took my 2yr old granddaughter today 29.08.25. The place was more than I expected. Only had to pay for me £9 so a bargain was had. We took a picnic & drink and stayed for 3 hours. My D has walked her little legs off and loved every minute of today. Definitely recommend 👌

Amazing day here today. My daughter wanted a zoo keeper experience for her birthday. Chloe and Sophia Were amazing and took the time to explain everything about all the animals we got to see. Everything here is great value for money including the cafe, no overpriced food and drinks here. Plenty of parking and it wasn't too busy being the first day of the school holidays. After the keeper experience ended we walked around again and saw the animals we missed. We managed to make a whole day of it and saw every animal. Walking the ferret was quite the highlight for my daughter as it's not something you do everyday. Definitely recommend the zoo keeper experience and the whole place. Will be going back soon for sure. Thank you very much.
