    Excellent Farm
    We are not from the area but often have weekends away nearby so we always visit the farm when we can. We have been here several times now and we always have a fantastic day. The deer safari is honestly fantastic, what an amazing experience. It's very rare to find somewhere around these areas to get up close to red deer so this is truly something special. The staff are really knowledgeable about the area and the deer and give you a talk on the way round, which is an added bonus. The farm is clearly a working farm but everything is kept tidy and clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful too. They have a range of animals, most of which you can touch or feed and they offer egg collecting, lamb feeding, pony rides and other experiences during the year. They even have a great play area for the children when you have finished looking at the animals. There is also a cafe which serves a range of good food and cakes and a little gift shop. We couldn't recommend this place enough.

    Experiences as they should be delivered. Top marks!
    Despite the rain this was one of the best experiences ever. The staff here are all so genuinely friendly. The tour out to the deer was great with our guide providing information on the general farm practices and pointing out areas of interest. Feeding deer from your hand? Well that was an experience to treasure. Overall top marks. Café awesome and prices spot on. A massive thanks to all for a great day. Not just for kids!

    Great day out!
    Wonderful place, had a great day today and learnt so much. This is a working farm so yes, it’s a bit rough in places but that’s how it should be! Staff are all lovely and really helpful, kids had a great time and I’d certainly go back.

    A true farm experience!
    Having visited a few farms in my time with our young daughters, this one has a very different feel - and I’m all for it. During the time we were there our girls got to feed goats, spend as much time as they wanted stroking lambs, brushed down a horse and of, course, fed the deer on the slightly eccentric but quite thrilling, deer safari. This felt like much more of an ‘experience’ than so many other farms where you are kept at arms length from many of the animals. A bit rough and ready? Of course. But that’s what farms are. A bit pricey? Perhaps but our girls made some very special memories today and for that, we are very grateful. Thanks to the team who run the farm!

    Excellent afternoon!
    We visited here as a group of 7 adults on a weekend away in Ingoldisthorpe. We visited the farm and did the deer safari as well. Both were excellent and there were lots of activities on the farm even though we arrived later in the day. We fed lambs, calves and goats and also fed the deer on the deer safari. The staff were extremely friendly and informative and the general vibe was very relaxed and we could just potter about and see the animals. There is a nice little gift shop and cafe as well. I thought the expletive was great value for money and would highly recommend!

    At first you think there is not much to do, but…
    It was an amazing day out and we managed to get very close to the animals. I recommend looking at the times for the activities and trying to do it all. The deer safari was extra but well worth every penny. Biggest highlight of a fantastic day was bottle feeding the lambs at the end of the day and everyone managed to have a go. Fantastic day would 100% go there again and worth every penny.

    Lovely place
    As an adult couple camping in the local area we thoroughly enjoyed our farm experience. Unfortunately we were not able to take part in the deer safari as we had our dogs with us. We still had a lovely time meeting the animals though. You can tell they are all beautifully well looked after and happy. We ate in the cafe twice during our week staying in the area. The food is perfect, especially the full English. Everything was a bit grubby though, sticky tables, stained cups and teaspoons, and a teapot covered in finger prints. Everything needs a good scrub! Other than this, a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

I was very upset at the appearance of some of the animals in the “farm yard” .the cows especially were packed into small areas,laid on top of piles of mucky beds,they had not been mucked out for ages. These cows never go out on grass and are being fattened up indoors ,is this good humane farming? And yet people are being charged to come and see these as if it’s a “petting “ experience alongside rabbits etc in cages and tortoises in small pens .
Young calves were there on a contract for weaning prior to slaughter or “finishing” before onward sale or slaughter.they looked unwell ,5 to a pen and one isolated calf appeared very sick.
Lots of lambs were indoors in hot weather,with no mothers in sight, if so many lambs were orphaned then lambing practices must be terrible.I believe they were there just for commercial purposes of “ lamb feeding time “ for visitors .
The alpaca had a terrible underbite,exceedingly long teeth and needed vetinary dentistry ,this is not acceptable in well cared for alpacas.
The pigs were in an unkempt rocky corner where only nettles grew. As a farmers daughter I am well aware of good husbandry on farms but this is not it and yet it is opening to families as if it is a good “working farm”
Ponies and goats looked healthy and I did not go on the deer safari so cannot comment on that . I left very upset at what I saw and would recommend that if you do visit you really look at the animal welfare and ask questions of the staff about the animals you see.

We arrived at reception to pay, a group came in behind us and were served before us, despite 5 people on reception talking amongst themselves. My husband was about to walk out, when they actually addressed us. When we went to buy a coffee, advertised as barista coffee, when I challenged this as the coffee was filter Kona coffee but barista prices, they tried to tell me otherwise.. At the same time a family came in with a person using a motorised wheelchair, when they asked about drinking inside told " not allowed" . It was raining outside, but no alternative offered, no suggestion of how he could join his group for refreshments. As I work with people with a physical disability I was less than impressed with the responses. Staff need to have some more customer service training. Some of the barns with feeding experiences did not have hand washing facilities and signage poor.
Overall, disappointing as we were expecting more and better.

A lovely day out was only spoiled by the ridiculously expensive tickets to go on the deer safari. My daughter does not have a lot of spare cash so she was pleased that the entrance was just £2.50 per adult. Happily she ordered two tickets for the deer safari for her and her partner, her little boy went free. She was shocked to find out the price was £7.50 per adult. £15 in total. That is probably why the entrance fee is so low, they make their money on the deer safari. A price of £5 would have been more than enough.

A good way to spend a couple of hours. They have a good play ground and a small cafe and shop. When we went they had goats, ponies, sheep, chickens, cows and a couple of dogs where you can walk round and through their sheds. It is a working farm though and so as you would expect quite smelly and dirty. You can buy goat food to feed them at the shop which was fun. If you want to do the deer safari or pony treking you need to book in advance. They only do pony trekking on Tuesdays and Thursdays. A good couple of hours but don't expect a full day there.

Really disappointed in our visit. We booked online for the deer Safari which was £32.00 for two adults and two children. We turned up and the lady said if we want to see the other small animals and use the park it was an extra £18.00. It was so basic and tired looking it was definitely not worth the money. We also had to pay for goat food. Where we live there are many farm parks that are far better and you pay £40 for two adults and two children that include everything and you can have a full day out. We arrived at 10.15 and left at 12.15. That’s including a picnic that we took.
This place is too over priced for a family “day out” which consisted of two hours.

The deer Safari was really good and the guy who took the tour was really friendly and knowledgeable.

Visited this farm in the children’s summer holidays. It is in need of some care and attention. A lot of the animals look as though they haven’t been cared for properly. One poor horse, stood there not moving, my daughter commented “it looks very sad!” which had already crossed my mind. The entrance and the cafe are set up with some sort of COVID social distancing measures in place, but once you get on to the farm there is nothing. Staff not wearing masks, not social distancing with each other or the visitors. In the shed where the guinea pigs and rabbits are there are no measures in place at all to stop the visitors gathering together, with one poor girl working there trying to keep everyone apart, no chance. Shocking in this time of Pandemic - we would not have visited had we known that this was the case! Shame on you Snettisham Park. Follow the government guidelines or close!

This place is titled as a farm park, I have young children 5 and 1, booked the farm and deer safari. The deer safari was good, interesting and an unusual experience.

The rest of the place is very disappointing, it cost me £42 to get in including the safari and my youngest was free, there is no play equipment for younger ones, lots of older children running around and causing havoc on stuff not at all aimed at them.

Broken toy tractors, unloved play equipment and benches. There’s probably a total of 30 minutes of animal look around here, that’s it not worth the entry price at all.

My husband ordered three hot drinks (all small) three pieces of cake, that cost nearly £20. 😳

To top it off we came out and out car had been hit, not the farms fault, but they weren’t exactly interested.

A very expensive two hours, save your money, there so much to do in this area this place isn’t worth the spend.

We visited after seeing the road signs and thought we'd see what it was all about.
We arrived and the helpful gentleman at the front desk suggested the combined ticket, that's the deer trail and access to the other animals. Our deer trail guide was Leon- more about him later.
It was amazing to get so close to deer.

We also spent time with the other animals. Most seemed to enjoy having their backs scratched and their ears tickled.
We also fed the lambs. Fun for both us and the lambs who were very excited for the bottles.

A couple of cups of tea and a hot sausage roll in the food room was most agreeable.
Other food was available on the ample menu.

The staff are very keen to promote hand washing after any contact with animals which was good to see.

Now back to Leon.
We bumped into him a few times throughout our visit.
We had many questions, many of which Leon answered during his commentary but he was also keen to answer any questions when we randomly met him in passing.

The deer safari was lovely. If you like animals you'll love it. A tractor pulls a farm trailer with cushioned bench seats. The commentry was interesting.
We arrived at the deer fields and the deer came over to be fed. We each had a bag of food to hand feed them. The deer were able to put their heads through the bars so they were very close, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
It was £10 for an adult for the 45min experience and well worth it. The guide said to come back in June as well to see baby deer.
Wrap up warm though as the trailer is open.
Hand washing facilities afterwards. All seemed very covid safe.
A review said it was run down, but it is a normal working farm.
Good for all ages of animal lovers. Easy parking and a small cafe.

Just a short trip here for us, we wanted a bit of fresh air so paid to park and followed the Discovery Trail. It was well signposted and just long enough for little legs. £2.50 was good value to park and get a leaflet/map too. We did use the cafe afterwards which wasn't the best, no menu on our table so ordered drinks and hoped they wouldn't be too expensive! But overall a nice way to spend a couple of hours.
