Great day out and value if you have a season ticket. We try to take our own food as the food on site is average and not cheap, but with a picnic its a great day out for a young family!

A good day out for little ones say under 5's THe tyre ride is good and the falcon and owl show are very impressive. The animals seem to be well looked after.

Took my daughter and my nephew for a day out. Both children had a great day out. Attraction itself is great, love the outdoor areas and the indoor area is good fun for all ages to. There is enough animals for the children to feel they have visited a farm and a playcentre in one. There was quite a wait... More

Slightly on the expensive side, but there is a LOT to do, and it is a very nice place, very clean. The staff are nice too.

We came here after an extremely disapointing day at that other awful 'farm park' and this was so much better in comparison. Similar price, but much cleaner, professional, nice staff, SO much to do, the shows were great and the staff took time out to teach about the animals too! Will definately return!
