    What an amazing day out! We were recommended Park Hall whilst in a Cafe and booked online for cheaper tickets before arriving and had an amazing time. This place has it all. From animals and farm rides to pumpkins and play rooms. Music and Science to History , parks and play areas. 10/10 family day out.

    Great day out for the kids. Lots of things to do, theres an outside park and obstacle course, indoor soft play area with sandpit and wooden climbing structure, indoor bouncy castle with ride on tractors and death drop slide. There is also animals that you can feed and a tractor trailer ride to do. Food and drinks are available from their cafe and everything is easy accessible with ramps instead of steps.

    A must place to visit with the kids. So much to do indoors and out. Well worth the money for the service they provide. My 18 month old loves it. We will be returning often as my boys grow.

    Fantastic day out for all three kids. 8 year old and two 4 year olds loved everything about this place. So many things to do outside and inside. Food hall and play area were clean and tidy. Petting areas have sinks to wash your hands. Recommend this is a day out for all the family.

    Really good Farm Park. Signage could be better. Lovely staff. Relatively small farm park, probably better for young children up to 6ish yrs. Home to Welsh guards museum and a Second World War trenches set up. The indoor areas; bouncy castle (unsupervised), basic baby soft play areas, ride on tractors all around cafe tables. In the sheep barn; soft play with brick building area, sand and water play, archaeological dig, slides. Other wee entertainment bits like an Alice in wonderland theme walk through scenes…bit creepy imo but there for Easter as far as I could tell. Rabbits, Guinea pigs, tortoises, sheep, goats, pigs. Music room and a sort of science room which our toddler didn’t engage with much - better for the older children with those interests. Tractor trailer ride, barrel train all running v smoothly! Outside assault course, play park, diggers x2 (£1), electric tractors (£1), shed/small house play bits, space hopper field, Iron Age roundhouse, pig racing, staff put on a fun rabbit (fancy dress) race for entertainment. We didn’t use the cafe much but we did get a hot chocolate, cake and ice creams - service was ok. Didn’t really want to stay or go back for that tbh. The staff with the tractor rides and the animals were lovely, couldn’t have been happier to help and chat - working hard! Found the layout a bit confusing and all seemed a bit ‘add on’, we were given a map on arrival which helped to a degree but in reality we went where we could around other people rather than studying the map. You’re sent through the museum to get in which is a long hallway in effect into the small animal handling area - an old cow shed with multiple doors off to various things but you couldn’t really choose (it wasn’t a v busy afternoon as it was wet) and just had to go where you could with a buggy. Happy with pricing for one adult, concession and 2 x under 2. Might get pricey with older kids. Seemed like a good shop at reception but you have to walk through it to get out (as always)!
