I went last week and to be honest thought it was a waste of money and time travelling there (50 min journey).

Yes it was nice, but so small. We were there just over an hour and had seen everything, went round the butterfly house twice. There was nothing that we thought was worth spending time over. Butterfly house the best bit but there weren't as many butterflies as other ones I'd been to - don't think we saw more than 20. And its quite small, we walked round it in less than 10 mins.

Then the other animals - well there's only 2 of everything which you don't realise from the leaflet. There are 2 monkeys, and 2 meerkats, and 2 pigs and 2 goats and one squirrel and one rhea and a few rabbits. Mmmmm thats it.

I was disappointed, we go to plenty of farm parks where we happily spend most of the day - this one cost the same sort of price and was a lot less to see/do.

we went and actually really enjoyed it but I was aware that there wasn't going to be loads of animals. The little play area with sand pit, trike circuit and zipwire kept the lil ones going for an hour or so and we had a nice lunch outside. The falconry show and parrot shows were good. We saw lots of baby goats and were able to stroke them freely.

Its not like bigger farm parks but is definitely worth a vist as there's lots of different things like the reptiles and a nature trail.
