We went on a recce today. Still worried that there no older children only babies and toddlers. We have booked to take our grandkids there and apart from the play area everything else, even the shop seemed designed for toddlers.

Used to be good here, but apart from the car park and entrance which have been recently refurbished, it's gone downhill and is in need of serious investment. Not many animals to see, no tractor rides, no contact with animals. No meeting the pony as it is on bed rest! Generally looking very run down and wouldn't recommend as a day out. Very sad.

Been coming here 40 years.. last visit 2 years ago. Sad to see so many empty weed infested paddocks(near play area), & enclosures, & not as many farm animals to see as I remembered. New play areas very nice, Staff handling donkeys in ‘meet the donkeys’ session were very friendly & knowledgable

We've not been for a few years, and I had read the reviews with trepidation. However I hadn't needed to worry. Yes there are definitely fewer animals than there used to be, but they seem very well cared for and not at all stressed. The play park is lovely, the woodland walk is magical and my 8 and 4 year old both had a wonderful time. Good value for money and I would recommend. All I would say is it needs to be given a chance, the signage isn't great and it took some exploring to find where we were going. Once we got the lay of the land sorted in our heads we were very impressed.

In cafe, only choice of cake was raspberry and lemon cake or smartie cookies. The world garden section was unkempt with stinging nettles growing around and in a childrens sit on feature which. There really was a very limited number of animals to see. The children's park area was ok - however definately not worth the entrance fee. The park at Fairlands, Stevenage has more apparatus and is free. It was so much better 20 years ago at Standalone Farm.
