Fairytale Farm

Good family day out in the holidays, both my boys really enjoyed it. There are a couple of bits which could be improved though... the fact that there is only one set of toilets near the beginning of the whole place needs to be improved, especially with toddlers who are potty training. There are also mini bee hives tied to the fence by the play area, great for the bees, but when you're trying to eat your picnic and there are loads of wasps flying about, not so good. Apart from this, it has been a really good day out, with the kids having lots to do, especially enjoying feeding the animals

We loved it. It has lots of things to do for children of a wide range of ages. We will return with pleasure.

My 3 year old had a fantastic visit he loved all the different attractions some newer than others! Duck race and pet handling were firm favourites! Thank you!

We thought the visit to fairytale farm was brilliant, had a variety of activities for the kids to enjoy and play areas, my daughter loved the animals and all the staff were very friendly, have already booked Xmas visit.

We visited for the 2nd year in a row yesterday with our 3 year old daughter. This place is fantastic for the price! Yes, it is a little dated but honestly for me it adds to the charm. It has a very nostalgic and homely feel, and the staff are all lovely and welcoming.My mouse-mad daughter was thrilled with the mouse town. But her favourite part of the day was holding and feeding the guinea pigs! The young lad organising it was so friendly too and took the time to chat to everyone about the animals, their names and little facts about them.The mermaid walk is fabulous - love the extinct band, the chimes and the fountain! The new fairy dell is amazing and we all had a go on the big slide! My daughter loved pausing and playing with each bit. We even found things this time that we didn't spot before.The Dino dig is fab too, and then we spent time on the play area which she loved. The vegetable patch is ace - my daughter would have spent all day digging in there if she could have.We stroked the alpacas and saw lovely fluffy baby chicks, which was a highlight.The only thing that we didn't enjoy was a rather aggressive goose in the duck pond picking on a mama duck and her two sweet babies! Please check in on the mom as the goose was honking and pecking at her which was a bit stressful to see!Overall, Fairytale Farm is charming, fulfills so many sensory needs for little ones, is well thought out with many hidden, magical gems and is amazing value for money. We travelled 1hr 15 mins to come and we will definitely come again.It would lovely if you brought back the pony pampering too!

As usual, we loved our day at the Fairytale Farm. We loved all the new features (Xmas in the snow was when we last visited). The ferret racing was great fun, and the children, aged 7 and 5 enjoyed the story time and puppet show. Still good value for money

We were really excited to visit after reading some of the reviews, but I'm sad to say it didn't quite live up to my expectations. There was a filthy fishtank in the reception which immediately raised my concerns for the welfare of the animals, if the tiny fish tank can't be kept clean, what about the larger animals pens... And not only that the toilets were filthy, I wouldn't even change my child in them.We visited all of the areas, some were fabulous like the wooden play area in the middle of the circuit, and the Dino that comes out of the water. However many were not quite up to scratch... There were some rather quirky displays, one of which was a topless mermaid. I think it definitely has potential, and the idea is lovely, it just needs a lot of money putting into it to refresh it. They do look like they are doing some renovations so hopefully that will make some improvements.

Very nice place, he had lovely Sunday there . My children had so much fun, they loved art and craft. Only one thing which made me fell like I don't like it"

Second time we’ve visited and, while it was great to see the work that has been completed (new play area on walk through to dinosaur section) and the ongoing improvement work, the site continues to look tired and has elements that don’t work - several button operated attractions do nothing or have no sound and the Snow White interactive book is extremely hit and miss on whether it plays anything.The new entrance for buggies/wheelchairs is also still under construction, responses to previous reviews suggested it would be open now.I like this place, as do my kids, but these little bits do let it down, especially when responses to other reviews suggest items are checked before opening each day. We arrived at 10.30 so I’d be surprised if that many buttons had stopped working inside 30 minutes of opening.We did however have a lovely time in the petting area which both my daughters really enjoyed.We’ll be back once the ongoing works are completed. Overall I’d still recommend it.

Nice family day, kids had fun in tjis nice weather, nice food, sweets, drinks, ice cream, attractions for kids, small soft play, playground, painting, animals to watch and feed, clean toilet, BUT there was a problem with parking, no spaces to park so I had to wait for someone to pull off ( nearly 10 minutes) so the best is to get there earlier. I recommend this place.
