We had a really great day out at Walby farm, we thought it would be a fun place for a couple of hours for our 10 year old and weren't sure whether it would be much fun for our older children (14 & 16)... We were so wrong, they totally loved it, as did the adults in the group! There's so much to do, from meeting & feeding the animals (handwashing facilities were really good), watching demonstrations (goat racing was my particular fave), and the outdoor & indoor play areas were fab. We spent so long going on the slide options inside (adults are allowed on too !), we were having so much fun we ended up spending most of the day. Thanks to all the staff for the warm welcome and for running such a great place 🐐

Walby Farm in Carlisle is one of those rare places that effortlessly blends charm, fun, and a genuine countryside experience. From the moment you arrive, there’s a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes it perfect for families and anyone looking to unwind. The farm is beautifully maintained, with plenty of hands-on activities, happy animals, and thoughtfully designed play areas that keep kids engaged for hours. What really stands out is how authentic it feels—less like a tourist attraction and more like a real slice of rural life. Whether you’re enjoying the outdoor spaces on a sunny day or exploring the indoor play barns when the weather turns, Walby Farm delivers a memorable, wholesome experience that’s well worth the visit.

The kids had an absolutely amazing day!!! There was plenty for them to do and even though the park itself was busy, it didn't feel over crowded and kids were able to play and get involved in things. Such a range of activities and play equipment for the kids as well as animals. The only thing that we did find a little confusing at first was, things weren't sign posted well and we didn't know where to be for what times. Also my grandma was wanting to come but glad she didn't as it is not really wheelchair friendly around the park. However overall the experience for the kids was definitely 5/5!!!! And out of everything they loved the candy canon at the end of the day!

Can not rate the staff highly enough here. Went with my two kids who were probably older than most here. However the golden egg hunt for them invested and everything else was great. Indoor play area decent, coffee great, outdoor activities enough and as I said, staff were amazing. The shows are designed for I would say kids younger than mine but watching my eldest get embarrassed at his dad "wagging his tail to sheps song was priceless. Great day and worth the money. We planned on a couple of hours. We spent over 5 easily
