    OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG!!!! I don't know how much squeeee I can put into a review. This was…read morejust so much fun. I'm not a city girl by any means, but I'm also not a country girl. Yeah, I've been around animals a lot, but not those of the barnyard variety, so I am oh so terribly fond of Sheep, Goats, Ponies, Donkeys and the like. My Scotsman knows this and so he took me to the Mabie Farm Park. Think Petting zoo, but to the extreme. When you pay your small entry fee under $10, you walk the path, past a trio or was it a quad of adorable animals begging for food, so you feed them. The buck toothed alpaca is just adorable, you don't want to give them everything, so you meander inward, over the cobblestone bridge and into the interactive play area. There are bunnies, ferrets and other wee fuzzy bits that are elligible to be petted and talked about. There's a sign that tells you what times the demos are. Next are the big piggies, who snore loudly and are just as you think of pigs.. They're not in any hurry to move about for you. It was a hot Scottish summer day when I visited, so I don't blame them. From there, its into the Goat and sheep pen with a few calves peppered in for extra cuteness. There was so much squee in the barns I really had a hard time processing it. There were go-karts, a swing pit with hay to land into. Some various quarter style rides. Then the back fields held larger animals who either were bullies in their pens (That one white mule) or just insanely full of adorbe. The mule rides were very popular. Besides the animals, there are a bouncy house, jump pads (the floor of a bouncy house), two different ground slides, one which you ride a little wooden scooter down, swing sets, big wheels to ride, paddle boats, though the pond is a bit low. I KNOW I'm missing something, I just know it. Lets just say, take your kids there, take anyone there who's young at heart. it's totally worth the spend.

    More of a childrens playground than a farm. There were certainly farm animals there, goats, sheep,…read morehorses and donkeys. But most of the entertainment came from the bouncy castles, the huge slides where the children sat on little plastic trays to slide down the hill. There were also donkeys separate from the others doing donkey rides. It rained the day we went so we avoided the dirt buggies, but other people were using them and they certainly lived up to the dirt name. A good day out for everyone, and definitely worth the money.

    Went here with friends and their 4 kids aged 5 to 8 and it was great fun! At £8 to get in for kids…read moreand adults a like I wasn't sure when we arrived if it would be worth the cost but there was so much to do. Inside there is a big soft play with some really big slides that they even let the adults go down...if you're brave enough!! There is also a large cafe / restaurant serving everything from hot food to picnic sandwich boxes for the kids that include a few healthy choices. Outside there is lots and lots to do! Loads of activities centre around the animals from sheep racing, rabbit meet and greet, pony grooming, pig feeding, ferret shows etc. there's plenty of animals to interact with. There is also a large outdoor play park with obstacles and a zip line swing, a sand pit area with diggers etc, trampolines, water balloon 'fight area', crazy golf, self powered go karts etc., all included in the price. The only ride we spotted that you had to pay extra for was a barrel ride, which at £1 each was okay and the kids loved it! All in all a great day out and the cakes and coffee from the cafe get the thumbs up from the adults :)

    A good day out for all. Ample parking. Pricey, but it's worth getting a season ticket. A good mix…read moreof indoor and outdoor attractions. The cafe offers good food at reasonable prices. The barn with slides is good for all ages, including older children. There are plenty of animals to see, go-karts, ride on tractors, and a good outdoor play area including a zip wire.

    A great day out for the family,plenty to do and see. This…read morefamily run business has really taken off (due to a lot of hard work by the owners) and it is nice to see that a farm can survive by diversifying. Lovely and clean, great animals to pet or just watch from a distance. Cafe and great picnic areas with spledid views. A different way to spend a day. We were not disappointed. Easy parking.

    It was sons little friends birthday and everyone was invited to go to the farm.. it cost me £22.50…read morefor three adults and one child.. the animal pens are small and there's only about 16 in total.. half are filled with calfs a few with pigs and a couple with sheep.. and you can't really feed the animals apart from one pig pen where you have to put the feed in via a pulley and a little truck.. you can pet a guinea pig though.. I gave it two stars because for the money you pay, you don't really have too much to look at.. Also.. I gave it a low score because even though you're allowed to take your own food, we was shouted at for putting our rubbish in a bin.. I know.. not only that but the guy raises his voice in front of a group of 2 year olds.. apparently there's a sign saying you can't use the trash bin if you bring your own food.. even though it's a small sign and not near any bins.. it's just randomly placed by a tractor where kids play.. it was our first time there and they treat people like that.. the only reason I gave it two stars was cause my 2 year old son loved running around a little maze made of bails of hay.. even then older kids later on started pulling the bails apart and throwing them at people and nothing was said.. Apparently if we go back then we're banned from bringing our own food again.. but I can say we won't be returning.
