The place was definitely a very good experience for us. It was easy to find. The parking ground was full of cars, but the overflow car park had plenty of space left. It is very good that even the overflow car park has bins. We went after 2pm which was much cheaper for the three of us. 3 hours has exhausted our child anyway. The park have lots of hand wash places available and it is very recommended to use it as often as possible. There is plenty of rides and other stuff, playgrounds and soft plays. It is very good that lots of playgrounds are covered by shades, it was very pleasant even in a hot day. Few little one person ride machines are working with coins, so it is suggested to have few pound with you as cash if your child is that age. There are different farm animals around the park, there is opportunity to feed them, but not from hand to mouth. They are to roam free in their own place, not really interested in visiting humans. In the park there is plenty of little kiosks offering food, drinks, freshly made donut 🍩 ice cream. A cup of coffee was £3.70 which is quite pricey but well.. other food stuff like burger and chips and combos like this was £6-8 (if my memory serves right) all kiosks had accepted card. I saw lot of ppl with buggies, but the walking paths are grainy, not concrete, so if your child is over 3, I would probably skip buggies unless you have a nice big wheel on it. I tried to put rules of rides as photo as well as one of the cafe kiosk’s offer too. Definitely a great day, we will be visiting again.

Visited here with my two boys aged 7 and 4 and my Fiancé for a day out, we travelled from Bedford. I haven't been here for about 25 years and wanted to show my boys somewhere I used to go. The park was great with loads to see and do! The boys had a thoroughly good time! The queues went down very quickly and the rides were enjoyable. When I was younger it was more about the animals, and whilst there were animals there the focus seemed to be on rides and attractions now which I do understand but more animal talks and shows would have been better! One of the negatives was some of the staff weren't overly friendly or enthusiastic. I get it's what they do everyday but the chap driving the ride on train was absolutely fantastic! He laughed, joked and got everyone joining in with him! He took his time with each carriage and even offered to take family photos which was anamzing! He's an absolute credit to the Farm! Just a shame that the others were very disinterested. The only other negative was the gift shop and prices. There was nothing there that the children could buy with their pocket their money everything seemed very overpriced and there was nothing there they could buy for a £1, or even £2. I do understand that places need to make money but a meerkat soft toy at £25! Think I'll pass! As long as you take your own picnic and be strict with what you buy you'll have a great time! My boys certainly did! The rides are great, the soft play and play areas are great and there's plenty of space for the children to run around!

We spent £80 on tickets for 2 adults and 2 kids. We booked the day before which is cheaper than buying on the day, but it would have been cheaper still if we’d booked more than a week in advance. Lovely, friendly staff. Especially the guy working on the train ride. He makes it as he makes train sounds and stops to take a photo of each gathering in a carriage. There were some queues, but as it was bank holiday Monday that was to be expected. Food and drink is quite expensive for what you get. Hotdogs were tiny and so were the chips portions. Drinks are pricey, but the hot donuts were lovely! Recommend bringing own food and getting the donuts there. We missed the show, but entertainers took my girlies on a treasure hunt which they loved. Many missing animals, which was a disappointment, especially seeing as tickets aren’t cheap, and it was a bank holiday Monday at the beginning of half term, so I would’ve thought everything would’ve been in order. Many of the “coin” rides didn’t work and we lost our money. All in all we had a great day out! Would recommend and will hopefully return.

Experience was good for us but by no means an actual farm with loads of animals. What i can say, is that I was completely impressed by the actual staff working the rides, food places and all other areas. Very professional, always smiling and overall superb vibe. As some of the not so great thing about the place is that, we have been to many other farms where there were a lot of animals with loads of petting and feeding. We bought some food for feeding the animals and basically got back home with both bags untouched since all animals were not allowed to eat or simply there weren't the animals we were hoping to see. As a "fun park" its ok for children up to like 6 or 7, however, if you are simply after the farm experience, I can't recommend this place unfortunately, as there are manu other "low key places" where the experience for us was better. For a day out is ok, but there are a couple of things which during a sunny day might be an issue, like limited seating in shades and certain long queues for food.

📸 **Exploring Old MacDonald's Farm with the Kids! 🐄🚂** We had an absolute blast at Old MacDonald's Farm with our three little adventurers! 🌟 From the moment we arrived, there was non-stop excitement. 🎟️ With our tickets, we had access to a ton of attractions, making it a fantastic value for the whole family. The kids couldn't get enough of the train ride, carousels, slides, and climbing activities—all perfect for kids over 1m tall! 🚂🎠🏰 Don't forget the indoor soft play! 🐷 We had such a blast playing and observing the adorable residents of the farm. From cuddly lambs to curious goats, there was so much to see and learn. 🍔 Plus, when hunger struck, there were options for quick bites and treats, including fast food and ice cream! 🍔🍦 Overall, Old MacDonald's Farm proved to be the family destination—a brilliant place to spend quality time together, filled with fun activities and adorable animals. Can't wait for our next visit! 🌟👨👩👧👦🐮

Well maintain, We had a GREAT DAY! I been here 5 years ago with my nephew, this time I taking my own 3 year old boy! Everything still pretty well maintaining, bring back all lovely memory I had. My kid loves all the rides (especially the TRACTOR, we manage to ride 4 times), queue was not long and it was very quick. Few different type and age range of playgrounds, and we got surprise there is a MAGIC shows too. The burger is nice, fried are super crispy. Good variety of food and drink and couple food stall make us easy to reach when we need. If you kids want a quiet afternoon nap, can consider go near the event tent area. It is quiet and calm when no event is held. It is not huge but good for little one , and plenty of hand wash facility. Personally I don't like the petting animal, I find the animal are stress and keep trying to run away from kid.
