Rookery Open Farm

Lovely few hours with the kids, hands on goats, sheep, Shetland pony's and more. Large amount of play on and climbing equipment.Many more animals to see.Small but lots of fun for the kids. Could bring a picnic and enjoy in the play area or outside in the climbing frame area and extend the day even longer. Would go back again.Wheelchair friendly. Although some bumpy ground around the animals and fields so not a smooth ride!

One of the best farm we ever visited. Kids and adult both are always happy here.

There is so much to do here! Animals, animal petting area, outdoor play area, indoor play area, indoor and outdoor seating and in a lovely location. The children had so much fun and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend going.

Great little place to visit for the kids. It was bigger than I was expecting. Friendly staff at entrance. Very good for the price. Enough activities for the kids including the animals, soft play and park. Little cafe inside and toilets. No need to book online. It wasn't crowded even though summer holidays but did arrive at the opening time. Would definitely come here again.

Great place just 15 min off the Northampton town centre. A lot of animals and great soft play and outdoor play areas for kids. Lot sof birds and animals. Super hygienic and nice

Took my 15 month old here today. A lovely day out and considerably less than some farms.This is a working farm so there is plenty going on. We even had the privilege of watching a lamb being born.The outdoor area is lovely and there is plenty for children to do. I'm sure this is packed in the warmer months.The only downside for me was the soft play (for under 4, we didn't use older area), it was a bit sparse and needed a clean. They had a machine for blowing balls in the air but no balls. The bricks in the ball pit" had also seen better days. My son could only play on the lower level because the steps were too high for the second level and so I couldn't help him access the spiral slide. He was quite sad he couldn't copy the other children or use the slide. It would be great if the lower level could be improved for the little ones to really enjoy.Cafe is basic. Handy food if you didn't prepare but worth bringing a picnic as its only basic sandwiches.All in all

Great place to visit! It's big enough to keep you entertained for a good few hours but small enough that little legs can handle a walk without getting too tired. Soft play was good fun although didn't use much as such a lovely day out and about. Spaces to eat inside, outside under cover and outside in the open.Lots of animals to see and interact with and wonderful outdoor play area with so much for the children to enjoy! We took a picnic with us - lots of bins for rubbish too- but there is a cafe there too for drinks and snacks. One set of toilets in main building (with 2 baby change units) but plenty of hand wash stations around the site too after touching animals. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Such a lovely farm with equally lovely and friendly staff, there's so much to see and do here, there's an indoor soft play area, so many animals to pet, the little goats were so cute. All the animals look well cared for, healthy & happy. There's a massive play area outside with picnic benches, a go kart track, tractors etc to sit on, This is a perfect place to take the kids for a few hours to burn off some energy! Oh and great fresh coffee too, there's also food available but we didn't eat here so I can't comment on that. All in all a great place to go.

Really lovely farm with a great selection of animals, was large in spaces and didn’t feel crowded at all. Animals look happy and kept in nice conditions, baby goats and sheep were a lovely sight to see. Only things to improve on were soft play felt a bit grubby but I didn’t have high expectations in cleanliness for a working farm. Other reason I have knocked a star is because the woman at the front desk said our little girl was ‘big for her age’ when we said she was still under 2. There was no need for this comment and nearly all of the hand sanitising stations we attempted to get sanitizers from were empty! Other than that still a lovely day out and children’s outdoor play area was lovely, especially in the sunshine.
