We love this farm, you can kill hours here. The picnic areas are great and play areas keep the kids happy. The only down side for us was that there... read more was a donkey who was incredibly skinny and some of the mice had poorly eyes... I'm sure staff are aware and that the animals are receiving treatment, but there wasn't any notice to this effect. read less

Really good petting farm. You can hold rabbits, mice and rats. There are donkeys ,goats and horses all of which you can feed.

There are two playgrounds one of which... read more has a zip wire.

I would recommend taking your own food as there isn't any on sale apart from hot dogs.

My 4 year old daughter loved it. read less

Its bigger than it first appears so don't use all the kids feed buckets in the first part of the site. Has a lot of horses, chickens, sheep and goats... read more with a few pigs and cows too. They have a nice little petting area for rabbits mice, rats, and guinea pigs but you can pet pretty much any animal they have. The paths are also pretty pram friendly. read less

Nice little farm park for a very reasonable price. Good range of animals, nice nature trail with playground and picnic areas, sit-on mini-diggers and ride-on mini-quadbikes. Price for 2 adults and 2 children was £15 I think - very... read more reasonable. We especially loved feeding the tame young goats that ran along the path, the ponies, and the ride-on mini-diggers and quads. The Petting Barn was open but no handling for first 2 hours from opening time when we arrived, which we hadn’t realised.

Whilst some of the animals had decent sized enclosures, I did feel that most of the smaller animals in the petting barn could benefit from new larger cages too, with more stimulation and activities inside. I’d also like to see some healthier choices of refreshments (as currently mostly hot or fizzy drinks, ice creams and chocolate/sweets). Hopefully if the new development is going to be a proper café, it will be more viable to provide a healthier family-friendly menu. read less

A good half day outing. Staff were very helpful and cheerful. Small animal petting zoo had some very tame mice, rats, guinea pigs and rabbits. Goats and other animals were... read more also very tame. All looked in good condition. Only the chickens looked a bit stressed. The site looks at bit run down near the entrance, but don't let this put you off. There is hardly any food on offer, just hot dogs, crisps and ice cream, nothing for vegetarians, so eat before or after. read less

Cheap and Cheerful what a lovely day out, two adults and three extremely active grandchildren all for less than twenty quid you can't go wrong,had a fab time at the petting zoo the... read more kids were thrilled we also brought food for the animals and birds and a wonderful picnic that we had half way round at one of the parks. I will also mention that the purchase of animal and bird feed can be acquired on entry for just a pound you do not need to bring a picnic as food an be purchased on sight, finally I would just like to express our gratitude to all he friendly staff for such a great day out. read less

Family day out Visited here with my partner and two children aged 5 and 6. I thought £15 for us all to get in was very reasonable and then if you wanted animal... read more good it was £1 a bucket. There us plenty animals to see from teeny tiny mice to the biggest pig's iv ever see. All the staff were very friendly and the petting zoo was great, they made sure all the children got a hold of everything. I would definitely visit again. Plenty of places to eat a pinic and there's tea and coffee available near the entrance. The park was also great for the kids. Overall we loved it. The kids loved the caterpillar ride that much they went on twice. read less

Surprising lovely day Without major expectations about the place, the visit on a hot summer day reveal itself a very interesting experience for my family.

Quite simple, personal and without being over expensive.

A lovely... read more family day, that I will surely repeat with additional food for the animals.

Just a management recommendation: the wire slide seems a little risky with children sliding at some speed very close to metal structures at the end. And why refer a family ticket of £15 (2 adults and 2 children) that actually costs exactly the same if purchased individually? read less

Cheap day out Nice cheap day out for the family.

Nice to get up close with the animals.

Plenty to do playgrounds go karts little train ride.

My kids loved it

Fab little farm It's not the biggest farm in terms of the amount of animals but today was our fourth or firth visit over the space of the last five years and yet... read more again I noticed some little improvements so well done.

Four hours of fun for £4.00 per child and £3.50 per adult is something you really can't grumble about

In short a great, little, local farm where you can have a picnic, go for a walk and have lots of fun. read less

Nice day out It’s lovely seeing a wide variety of animals such as birds, rabbits, goats, cows, donkeys and horses.

During the day there’s certain times that you can go and hold a... read more mouse or a rabbit (or both) which I think is a great idea for children (the rabbits are really soft!) and big kids like me!

There’s small play areas for the children to enjoy such as swings.

You can buy a bucket of carrots to feed the animals which is good. read less

Fab Day Out!!! Been told about this place so decided to go, its SHAMAZING....

Got there parking, based on first come first serve so if you've drove far could be a ball ache esp... read more if you dont no there area to park else where like me...luckily I found the last space paid on arrival with cash so not sure about card payments £4 child and £3.50 adult which is good price...paid for mini bucket of food £1 each again good price. Got in and the animals all way round are well looks after, Good day can be spent here on a sunny day with your own pinic its worth the money. Catapilla rude £1.50 each well my girls loved it so yes worth the money too...young lad was lovely and pleasent too.

Baby goats roaming on path which all kids loved and my girls didnt too giggling they out mum ... only one set of toilets which i feel a second set could be put up at the top end of the park and maybe tables re-painted some tables are rotting which my daughter got a splinter but got it out after a tear and all was fine....

Jenny on ice cream was lovely

Sam and Izzy who was taking the tortoise back in its house they stopped to let myseld and my 2 girls feel him and was so friendly and lovely about them asking to touch it.... well done guys this place is Shamazing few nigs and nags to touch up but overall this place to cool.... read less

The only thing I find disgusting about this farm is the horrible reviews from past customers, I honestly can't find fault with it at all. For myself a 2 children... read more under 5 it cost £11 and everything there after was £1. The animals look healthy, they are happy to interact with people which shows to me they are well treated. The rides are great fun and the walk round is superb with plenty of farm animals on show as you go. The kids play areas have loads of space and great things to play on. A hotdog cabin on site for refreshments. Honestly will be going again soon, went with £20 and came back with change!! read less

Definitely worth a visit with little ones. Kids loved every minute of it. Not very wheelchair friendly but still managed to get round the whole farm.

Very good place to children all about farm animals and animal care. Can't rate this place highly enough. Prices are very reasonable as well.

Just one tip take your own food... read more to feed the animals, carrots, apples bread that sort of thing.

You can buy pellets to feed the animals from them but you don't get much and it's quite pricey.

So take your own. read less

Best for a great day out with the kids. You can even take your own food for a picnic.

Fun time Been a couple of times and done the usual things walked round and fed the animals. As we don't drive it is easily accessible by bus.

brilliant half a day out. Brilliant park especially for the younger ones..lovely animals and nice walk.Even better if the suns out.A real hidden gem.

Such a lovely place! Mum and I (both adults) had a lovely few hours here - we'd have stayed all day had we not got somewhere to be. Such a humble, no frills adventure.... read more I didn't realise they had their own car park, which was a bonus - so park up for free, simply pay your dirt cheap admission fee, buy small buckets of carrot or bread at £1 per bucket (TIP: If you want to buy lots of food for the animals, I'd take a carrier bag to put them in - we bought 4 buckets and they were a bit of a pain to carry around threaded onto our arms), and off you go around the perimeter of the farm. A lovely walk, at parts alongside water, so picturesque. All the animals are great and some real characters. A couple of play/picnic areas along the way too (this 34 year old had a lot of fun on the zipwire!) Will definitely be back! read less

You can... read more buy carrots and feed at the front and take them round to feed the animals. Rides and parks for children to go on including a tractor ride around the fields.

Top little farm in manchester. It is definitely a much less industrial feel than other farms I’ve been to.

I guess the point I’m trying to make is that the... read more animals seem happy and well looked after, they have huge open pastures to live in and they almost seem like visitors themselves, rather than caged up performers. Less commercial.

Also expect to pay around half the price of a typical farm.

I also know that they sell some of their smaller animals and a friend had a much better experience buying from this farm than from pets at home, as the animals have been handled from birth.

Kids love it and we love it. read less

Went with a 1 year old in a buggy and I have to say us adults had a great time! Plenty to do and see and a lovely walk around... read more the farm. Make sure you do buy a bucket of bread or carrots to feed the animals. We were ushered by staff into the lamb feeding barn and loved every minute of that experience. They have a hot dog/ice cream van, but also plenty of benches and seats picnic areas should you wish to bring a packed lunch. Washrooms were clean and plenty of hand washing stations. I am 7 months pregnant and there were plenty of informative signs for which animals not to touch and avoid. Lovely farm in the middle of Oldham! read less

Enjoyable family fun On arrival I realised I’d no cash in my purse. Which was an issue as they don’t take cards. (There is a Tesco [turn right as you exit the farm]... read more 10 mins away on foot with a cash point though, so that was good). It cost £11 for one adult and two kids.

You can buy small pales of carrots and bread to feed animals at £1 a pale. Which is great. I saw other people taking their own carrots and bread in so I assume it wouldn’t be an issue.

We had glorious weather. We spent about three hours there. It would have been longer but we had to get home to our dog.

(No pets allowed there). It’s ideal for smaller kids as it’s not a massive walk.

There are paths all around the site, gravelly and uneven in places but people seemed to be managing with pushchairs ok. There’s slight slopes to walk up so it may be an issue for some people. Staff use mobility scooters to get around the site, so if you use one it’s possible. However be ready for a bumpy ride!

We took a packed lunch which I was pleased about as the availability of food was quite limited (hot dogs and ice creams). Prices from £1 to £2.50 if I remember rightly.

The animals are varied and we all enjoyed feeding them.

Sadly we missed the feeding of the lambs as it was so busy. So to avoid disappointment arrive early!

Petting the rabbits was a high point for my sons. They were beaming!

The park has two nice play areas and both have seating available for picnics. The zip line was great fun.

The caterpillar ride for £1.50 was excellent! My sons loved it. The dry dusty dirt blew about a lot and they were filthy afterwards. Which is neither here nor there but, if you are planning going else where afterwards you may want to bare it in mind.

Around the outside of the park itself there’s a canal, with pathways that would be a lovely walk or bike ride. Next time I’ll be sure to do that.

There’s a pub down (turn right as you leave the farm) road where you can get a pub lunch should you feel inclined.

Also there is a train station right outside for trains into Manchester. read less

We also got to... read more hold mice, rabbits and Guinea pigs; we fed lambs from milk bottles and had a picnic in the play area. It was reasonably priced too (£3.50 for adults £4 for children).

Great memories made here! This little gem of a place is truly amazing. The animals are well cared for, the staff are friendly.

The scenery is stunning.

Our 10yr old daughter loved feeding the... read more lambs, cuddling a tiny mouse and riding on the caterpillar. We didn’t want to go home.

It was lovely feeding all of the animals on our walk around the park, we bought more food and walked around it again.

We’ll be returning, it’s well worth every penny.

Thanks to all in making this place special for all to enjoy. read less
