Excellent venue. Feel safe to let the children run around with little supervision. Lots to do both inside and outside. Great for picnics

This is a great way to spend a few hours during the school holidays. Admission is reasonable and they sell a small selection of snacks. Unlike some other places no one has a moan if you bring your own picnic and eat indoors.
The soft play is great (7 year old easily spent an hour on this) as is the park. Animals are all clean and well looked after. This is our 5th visit and I can say it’s always a great day!

Spent a great few hours here with a 6 and 3 year old. The farm is small enough that smaller kids can walk around it without trouble and still have energy for the large indoor and outdoor play areas. All of the farm animals you would expect are here, plus small pet animals like rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and (to my delight) a tortoise.
I was happy to see that animal welfare was taken into account, both with no animal feed on sale (to maintain the diets of the animals) and also the enclosures were designed that if an animal wanted to be petted, it could make that decision for itself. Happily the goats, donkeys and Shetland ponies were very happy to come to the fence for an ear scratch. All of the enclosures looked well maintained and regularly mucked out, and the animals all looked in good condition.
Both the indoor and outdoor play areas contained lots of things to climb and slide on, and occupied the most of our time on the visit. There is a small selection of sandwiches, crisps and sweets and hot and cold drinks at the cafe, which were reasonably priced. I was delighted that there was no gift shop attempting to sell tat to the kids!
The only improvements I could suggest would be to have more visibility of the staff (who were all very friendly) around the park to answer questions, or maybe some display boards with some details about the animals.
All in all, for a reasonable entry price we all had a great time, from Grandparents to pre-schooler. Well done Rookery Farm!

A great place to take under 5s. Lots of space, lots of toys to play on, plus lots of animals. Not at all themed or Disney-fied which suits us fine.

Had a wonderful afternoon with our 22 month old grandson. He loved it so much. Very clean. Lots of animals. The animal enclosures designed so that toddlers can see into them easily. Little tractors to ride on. Play areas with climbing frames, swings, tunnels and slides. A huge sandpit spades and diggers.
From memory we saw guinea pigs, rabbits, calves, chickens, several varieties of birds, pigs, horses, donkeys, peacocks, a rhea, an alpaca and a tortoise.
Highly recommend.

What a brilliant find. This kept my 2 and 4 year old occupied for a good few hours. Lots of climb on tractors, go karts and a sandpit pit outside with the animals. Lots of pocket fluffy animals in the barn. Plus the safest and cleanest soft play I’ve seen in ages! The only thing that needs a bit of improvement is the cafe. It would be great to see some more options and maybe some fresh cakes to go with the coffee.

Clean, bright and not overcrowded
Animals bit sparse for adults but kids seemed happy enough
A simple info sheet might be useful
Play barn loved by kids.
My concern was that there appeared to be no staff keeping an eye out either outside or in the play barn. Surely an essential requirement

I have a mentally disabled brother(Stephen) and his carer who will be visiting the farm on 08.04.17 from London.
Steve is so excited at the chance of being able to feed the baby animals and to learn how to milk a cow. He has always wanted to be a farmer.
Please would you confirm if you will have any young animals for feeding on that weekend? If so, are there any special feeding times ?
I really would appreciate your reply.
Kind regards
Sue
