Combine cute friendly farm animals with endless sources of play and you have a recipe for very happy children. At Farmer Palmers it’s easy to see why so many people skip the day ticket and go straight for the annual pass!

From the bumpy tractor ride to the indoor soft play, from the deer feeding experience to the sand and water play area, or from the Wendy house area to the bouncy castle (indoors and out), there is literally something for everyone, and the only concern is where to start.

Without a doubt, our firm favourites were the pedal tractors and go-karts, but the Dinosaur discovery trail was a close second.

Having said that Farmer Palmers is a great farm with lots of fun and friendly animals to meet and if you are very lucky, feed! Our favourites were the odd looking ostriches but you might fall in love with the ponies or goats!

They even sometimes have piggie races which are brilliant fun. Who would you back to win? Racing Rosie, Greedy Gary, Dizzy Daizy, Burping Berty or Percy Plodder.

You will easily spend a full day here so bring a packed lunch but if you forget or find yourself staying later than planned (like us), there is a great restaurant on site which serves quick and easy as well as healthy full meals.

Visit the Farmer Palmer website (link below) to find out all the information you will need and book in advance to save money on the gate prices.
