I was quite dubious about makin the hour trip from Stoke after reading some of the neative reviews on here but I had no need to be, our group of 4 kids (two 23 month olds, a 3 and 4 year old) loved every minute. The cuddly animals and the scaly ones too (much braver than us grown ups). The... More

We were stuck for something to do so we went to Hoo Farm. The animals were very nice and well cared for. Lots of different animals, birds, and reptiles to see. Our son liked them very much. Here is a little play area which is looking a little dated and could do with an update.There is a short but interesting... More

Hoo farm opened for the new season on the 17th March the interaction between the children and the young animals was really well sorted - my grand daughter has missed being able to attend during the closed season but has already informed me we can go every week now - the staff are very friendly and are able to answer...

We celebrated my grand-daughters 2nd birthday here and it was just before halloween, we had a wonderful day out, the children helped feed the young goats and walked round feeding the animals with the special animal feed they bought at the shop on the way in. They had turned one of the barns into a Halloween spooky experience the children... More

Kids had a great day here, were some good snacks in the cafe to keep them going and the gift shop wasn't badly priced either. Also got 2 free kids tickets for next time we go, which we will def use. All the animals seemed happy, and the kids loved seeing them all. Staff seemed knowledgeable and were able to... More

3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2011

Maybe, to echo other reviewers, we visited at the wrong time of year but it was a little disappointing. One thing that children (and adults) look forward to at places like this is interracting with and feeding the animals. The interraction was limited and the animal feeding non-existent due to the facility being withdrawn due to the animals winter inactivity.... More
