Visited today, as a family, with a 2 year old and a just turned 5 year old. What a fantastic day we have had!!! We didn't realise there was a poster showing a timetable of events, from egg collecting, to grooming ponies, meeting bunnies and guinea pigs, meeting alpacas and baby animals so we missed the egg collecting and meeting the alpacas, but we got to join in with all of the other activities, at no extra cost. It was fantastic! We made some wonderful memories. We didn't play golf, but we were occupied from opening to closing with the fantastic playgrounds, which were well maintained and plentiful, the indoor playgrounds, which again were well maintained, clean and plentiful with lots of varieties of play. We had a tractor ride, which was enjoyable, we rode the pony cycles, which was hilarious, fun and extremely entertaining for all ages (with a 13 stone weight limit on the bigger pony cycles, which meant my son and I could ride together). We loved meeting the animals and my children got to help groom the ponies, cuddle baby goats, rabbits and guidea pigs and feed most of the animals. So many lovely experiences, we highly recommend this place. Best farm we have been to in terms of enjoyment value for money. The children were absolutely worn out. We'd taken a picnic for our dinner and there was plenty of seating/table areas for us to enjoy this. My partner also purchased some cafe food which was reasonably priced and extremely tasty. Everything was clearly signposted with directions telling you where everything was. Easy to maneuver. Toilets were easy to find and well maintained. Staff were easy to find, approachable, kind, efficient and very good at their jobs. Free car parking too. Absolutely loved it. Hope you do too! Thank you everyone at...
Read moreMyself, my fiancé and our now 3year old daughter visited Hardy's Animal Farm last year and really enjoyed ourselves so when booking our Skegness holiday for this year, we booked to come to the farm again (visited on 14.5.25) with the addition of our 9month old son too. I must say this time, we were very underwhelmed by the experience, I'd even go so far as to say this year's entry cost was not worth the experience we had. There weren't even half the amount of animals in their paddocks/roaming around freely compared to last year. Nor were there even a quarter of the amount of staff walking round the farm interacting/talking with the farm visitors. The only 3 members of staff we saw around the farm (not taking into account the lady on reception and the ladies in the cafe) were 2 ladies who ran both the pony grooming and the guinea pig cuddles and even they weren't very talkative with us the public, they just muttered between themselves and then the gentleman who was doing the tractor rides, he was very friendly and couldn't help us more getting our pram on and off the tractor ride. If it wasn't for the outdoor play area, the indoor soft play and the tractor ride, our 3year old daughter would have found her visit extremely boring. The cafe was lovely and even gave us a fantastic deal on the slices of cake we purchased with our drinks (£1 per slice when they are normally £3-£4 each). If we come back to Skegness again next year, I don't think we will book to come back to Hardy's Animal Farm again, not unless there is a some sort of deal on that gives a big reduction to entry price as sadly, the farm experience as it currently is is not worth what they...
Read moreI visited today with my mum and 2 children aged 10 & 13. I was hoping to fulfil some time while up this way without spending a complete fortune at the arcades. We arrived at 11am and honestly thought the kids would be bored and begging me to go home within a couple of hours. Well I was so wrong! We got to stroke some adorable rabbits and see some babies, feed and stroke the goats, milk a large cow that gladly didn’t move, groom a pony, go on a tractor ride around the farm, dig some balls, ride a pony that my daughter said was harder then a normal pony, smack some small footballs around with a metal fork, watch some poultry birds play around including a stand-off between the peacock and turkeys, feed some highland cows we saw how long the their tongue’s were, play some football in the soft play, climb up and down some play area oh and we had a delicious lunch. We didn’t leave until 4.30 and that was after treating them in the reasonable priced gift shop. This farm has everything and is well looked after. The animals are clean and their pens are immaculate. The whole park was clean and child friendly. I can not recommend this place enough even with...
