We took our 2 yr old for his birthday and he had a lovely day out, I thought there was just enough for his age group, he loved the play areas especially. We thought the food in the cafe was excellent and reasonably priced. I would definitely visit again well done cannon hall farm park.

Like other reviewers have said its not the museum thats the main attraction its the farm.Its nice when the sun is shinning to walk round and see the animals and enjoy... More

Been here many times over the past few years and its not just the museum but the grounds, cafe, farm, farm shop, deli, craft sales and everything else which makes it an excellent day out. Can see why Cannon Hall won a Regional Tourist Award this year.

Very relaxing day out, good parking, nice Garden Centre not too busy. Museum fine but not too much on show. Gardens excellent, lots of people chilling out on the lawns.

This was a great day out especially for kids. Lots of animals to see and the kids could get near enough to see them properly. The sheep race was fun to watch. There is lots of space to let little ones run off some energy
