Melsop Farm

Melsop Farm
We live about 3 miles away from Melsop Farm. We were lucky enough to go on a sunny day and spent the whole day there.

There's a farm, as you might expect, with a huge range of animals, many of which roam freely so you can pet them and feed them. The shop sells animal feed, I didn't buy any this time because the last time we went the girls were too scared to go that close to the animals. However this time they were really into it.




The farm also has indoor and outdoor play areas. You can pay to go to the play areas alone, the price for that is £4 per child over 2 plus £1 per adult. That is about the same amount you would pay for other soft play areas nearby. However the indoor play area is a little limited compared to others and I think if my 3 and 5 year old were only able to play indoors they would get bored fairly quickly. If it's nice enough to play outside then it's a bargain.

To visit the farm it costs £6 for children over 3, and £7 for adults. The play areas are included in that price. Again, compared to nearby attractions it's a fair price. It's well worth it if you stay for the whole day like we did!

The cafe is also worth a visit given that they use their own produce! It's not like some of the greasy cafe food you sometimes get in the soft play areas!

Here are some more photos from our recent visit.
