Lovely farm, lots of different animals and good value for money. There is also a lovely cafe on site which does food at a good price. Would recommend.
Manydown is a great place to bring children of ages 4-12, lots of activities for them to enjoy and animals to see. I particularly thought the cafe was well run and the staff were particularly friendly.
We are so glad that you had a great time with us, i look forward to seeing you again at pumpkin Carving
Although i live locally, i have never visited Manydown Farm (only the farm shop) so was eager to take my son and granddaughter aged 3. This i did last Sunday 6th September. I could not believe how expensive it was to get in for what i would deem as a glorified play area. Yes the handling and feeding of the animals was lovely and the sheep race fun but no tractor ride and the rest was sourcing our own fun, which of course we did. Comparing this to 4 Kingdoms Adventure Park & Family Farm at the same price....well no comparison!!!! 4 Kingdoms is excellent value for money with sooooo much to do.
I went to the farm with the company I work with who support children with learning disabilities so they can access the community. We paid an awful amount of money to get in to find there was hardly anything there for them to do. There was roughly around 6 sets of different animals. As a group of 20 plus we were appalled with the farm and will not be returning!
Hi Caseya96x,
thank you for your helpful review. Other than the 6 sets of animals that you viewed. We are surprised that you missed - The animal handling area, woodland walk, sheep racing, adventure play area, sandpit, trampolines, tractor & trailer ride, inflatables, jumping pillow, crazy golf, bale & tyre mountain and The Maize maze!
I was "on duty" with my six year old grandson and took him to Manydown for the morning. In many ways its a little bit old fashioned, not a plug or screen in sight, but he had a great time. The trampolines were well thought out and he spent ages on the bouncy slide. The Maze was unattended but we went in anyway and got properly lost so it is certainly something to test our memory. In fact we didn't get as far as the Farm itself which looked fine. Food options are not extensive but adequate. I suppose you might say its overall a bit basic but I would argue it allows kids to get some good exercise and blow off steam in a safe environment whilst using their imagination. Not the cheapest day out but fair value.
We had a good afternoon with a wide age range of children from 1 - 15 years old. There were play areas for the younger children and fun of sheep racing for the older children. The food on the cafe is varied and pleasant to eat, with friendly service. I can see we will be cominf here for many years with our granddaughter. Thank you for a relaxed old fashioned fun day.
