Happy grandparents
Brilliant, relaxed, animals to pet, great displays of farm history and World War Two…two happy girls and two happy grandparents!
Exceptionally friendly
Great place for children. My 2 year old grandson loved the play area especially the large sand pit. Animals and tractors too. We chatted to the train staff who were exceptionally friendly and showed us their trains. Fantastic.
We will be back again very soon!
Our first visit today and we were not disappointed. Something for the whole family. Play area is great. Lots of space to let small ones run about and still be able see them. It felt very safe even in the current situation. We will be back again very soon!
Loads to see and do
Lovely family day out here today. Absolutely loads to see and do. Friendly staff, lovely cafe, steam train, park, animals, loads to walk around. Viking village was brilliant!
