Farmer Palmer's Farm Park
Designed specifically for children 8 years and under, this family run visitor attraction is a real find! A full day out of fun, and still good value for money.
New for 2010 – Big Tractor Bouncy Castle (undercover), water fun and woodland walk fun. There are lots of different animal activities, one every half hour which means you can mix this with the play areas and easily stay all day. The pig racing is a great hit & very exciting!
The award winning staff have an excellent attitude, are friendly and approachable, understanding the needs of parents with little ones.
The café has delicious, traditional meals cooked on site and they make their own cakes, even the china can be taken outside. The attention to detail is obvious in all the little things (highchairs, baby changing, and microwave for bottles, they also welcome breastfeeding).
You can ride the uniquely bumpy tractor ride in the sun or play indoors if it rains. A complete all weather attraction. Their care and attention means you’ll have a day out that is great value for money. After your 1st visit, don’t be surprised if your children are asking to come back again the next day!
