Staff where very friendly and clearly very interested in the animals.
Never been to a kids farm where you're not allowed to hand feed the animals so my kids were kinda bummed about that but they loved everything else.
The play area is massive and the barrel bug ride was fantastic for adults and kids 🤪
We did initially sit on a very wonky bench but soon found a better one a few feet away.
I think the tractor ride was a winner, didn't manage to get a go on the barrel ones though, they looked cool!
It was worth getting the animal feed, we gave the bird feed all to the ducks, not realising there's loads of chickens and such.. oops.. 😅
The only downside are the bins which attract so many wasps that can be very irritating and sometimes dangerous for small children.
Blackberry Farm please look at solutions to the wasp problems.
The lay out for a farm is incredible! You can really see the vision the owners are going for and how it maps out is beautiful one of the best organised farms you can get!!
All the animals are adorable and worth a visit of course, with loads of them being available and friendly to touch and feed, and those who aren't are in the correct secure places so little (and big) wondering hands aren't able to poke or evoke them in anyway but still are available to see and speak to. 🥰
They have an open area which is staff managed for smaller animals to run about while you touch them in their space, which I personally love and think is a great touch for a farm.
Information given on all the animals on their name tags outside their enclosures.
The play park is incredible and amazing for little to bigger kids with the ability to really explore and discover.
Soft play area is cute, small but seems very sturdy.
Staff are so helpful and full of smiles all the time.
The cafe is great, with a few farm bits to purchase for memories or toys! If you forget wellies you can buy them here for the children too.
The one star from 5 is for the lack of heating... I know it is a farm and they are outside, however in the winter you can't change a babys bum here as they will be too cold, no warm water running in the taps outside either so can't use warm cotton wall balls either. Just don't!
No heating inside the soft play, which leads the area to be damp and very cold on your toes... again little ones 5 and under get really cold quickly, plus the floor gets their toes wet as they have no mats down!!
