Had a lovely time looking around all the stalls, all the staff are well informative about the products they are selling. Prices are fair as most things are hand made and very good quality. I would recommend a visit. First Sunday in every month they have extra stalls. The place has children playing area's and animals to look at.

A great and reasonably priced day out for families. Especially good for younger children/toddlers; my little one loved the play vet area and train. The new outside play is great and perfect for both toddlers and older children. The addition of a separate bounce pillow for under 5s is great. And of course, lots of animal fun and experiences.

We recently visited Wroxham Barns and honestly, it’s one of those places that just gets it right—especially if you’re heading there with young kids. From the moment you arrive, there’s a really welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. It’s not overly commercial or chaotic like some family attractions can be. Everything feels well thought out and geared towards making it an easy, enjoyable day out rather than a stressful one. The junior farm is definitely the highlight. It’s hands-on in all the right ways—feeding animals, getting up close, and letting kids properly interact rather than just looking from a distance. The staff were friendly and patient, which makes a big difference when little ones are involved. You don’t feel rushed, and there’s plenty of space for kids to explore safely. What stood out most was how suitable it is for younger children. With toddlers, it can be hit or miss finding somewhere that actually caters to them, but this really does. There are play areas, ride-ons, and little activities dotted around that keep them engaged without being overwhelming. It’s paced nicely so you’re not constantly moving or trying to keep up with a packed schedule. The craft shops are a nice touch too. Even if you’re not planning to buy anything, they add character to the place and give it that traditional Norfolk feel. It’s not just a “kids attraction”—there’s something for adults to enjoy as well, whether that’s browsing, grabbing a coffee, or just taking a breather. Speaking of food, the café options were solid. Nothing overly fancy, but good quality, reasonably priced, and exactly what you want on a family day out. Plenty of seating, and it didn’t feel like a scramble to find somewhere to sit, which is always a bonus. Another big plus is how manageable it all is. You can comfortably spend a few hours there without it turning into a full-on, exhausting day. That’s ideal when you’ve got young kids (or even a dog in tow), as you can dip in and out without pressure. If I had to be picky, on busier days I can imagine it getting a bit crowded, especially around the more popular animal areas. But even then, the layout seems to handle foot traffic pretty well. Overall, Wroxham Barns is a brilliant, low-stress family day out. It strikes a really nice balance between entertainment, interaction, and relaxation. If you’re anywhere near the Norfolk Broads and have young children, it’s definitely worth a visit. We’ll 100% be going back.

Visited with family and young grandchildren. No entrance fee other than for access to the junior farm. The children enjoyed the farm which also has a good soft play area and 'tree walk' Food available with indoor and outdoor seating. Several shops including specialist craft businesses Plenty of free parking. Recommend

We had a birthday party at Wroxham barns and hired their private party room with a private host. It came with a very good cost. The party room was already well decorated. The food provided for the kids was good. They also provide sandwich trays for adults as well as tea and coffee. Excellent and lovely staff. Lindley was our private host and was very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend for a children's birthday party and or for a family day out with animal encounters, petty sessions and animal feeding. We would go there again :)
