Great family day out with lots of fun play areas, and a few animals to see. The kids had a fantastic time and we would happily visit again.

Perfect for the kids to get some energy out. Lots of different activities. and lovely selection of animals to looks at. All seem very well looked after. Also My son hit his head and I went straight to the cafe and a lady with first aid experience helped me straight away calmed me down she was amazing absolute angel 🫶🏻

Lovely Farm with well looked after animals. The play area is clean and well kept. Prices within the farm are reasonable and not crippling like other farms in the area. This means we can come back again and again. Kids always love it and I feel they are totally safe while playing. The soft play is a great addition for those wet days. Thank you for always providing a great day out :)

We had a lovely time visiting here for the first time this week. Whilst the animal element is more limited than we are used to when visiting a 'farm', the vast play areas certainly provided more than enough entertainment. The pedal area is amazing, my girls would have stayed in there for hours exploring all the different modes of transport. The offering of animals were small but we still enjoyed visiting them all, especially the baby animals in the indoor section. Parking was plentiful and whilst we didn't eat at the cafe, the coffee was good and the menu looked varied. I would definitely recommend this place to others. Finally, my one gripe when it comes to pricing (and many many places do it) is why is it the same cost for adults to enter the farm as it is a child? As much as I enjoyed the day, I definitely didn't get to interact with everything like my children did!

Wonderful place for children, perfect to fill days during the summer holidays and a good price compared to other farms with children’s activities in the south east. We’ll definitely be back this summer! It’s basically loads of playgrounds, sand play, a soft play, a trampoline park and ride-on toys all in one place plus animals and a beautiful natural setting. We packed a picnic and spent 6 hours here with an 8yo, 5yo and 2yo. There’s loads of picnic tables in the sun and in the shade. The barn was a huge draw for my children who loved looking at the animals multiple times throughout the day. The kids (baby goats) and piglets were super cute and the farm staff working in the barn was happy to chat and give us some more info. On a hot day (28 degrees) the barn and soft play felt quite cool. We stopped at the tea room for ice cream and coffee, and I thought it was lovely that they had toys you could bring to the table and colouring. All the staff we encountered were lovely, the other families were lovely and children were just enjoying themselves— running, jumping, climbing and getting sandy! Definitely child friendly and Autistic friendly, as there is so much to do it doesn’t feel overcrowded even on a busy day. Lots of parking, although only two blue badge spaces I noticed, but we still managed to park close.
