Rookery Open Farm

Fun little farm
Apr 25th, 2023

Really lovely farm with a great selection of animals, was large in spaces and didnt feel crowded at all. Animals look happy and kept in nice conditions, baby goats and sheep were a lovely sight to see. Only things to improve on were soft play felt a bit grubby but I didnt have high expectations in cleanliness for a working farm. Other reason I have knocked a star is because the woman at the front desk said our little girl was big for her age when we said she was still under 2. There was no need for this comment and nearly all of the hand sanitising stations we attempted to get sanitizers from were empty! Other than that still a lovely day out and childrens outdoor play area was lovely, especially in the sunshine.

Excellent centre to visit. Lots of activities indoor and outdoor and a wide range of birds and animals to see close up. Very enjoyable.

Took my 15 month old here today. A lovely day out and considerably less than some farms. This is a working farm so there is plenty going on. We even had the privilege of watching a lamb being born. The outdoor area is lovely and there is plenty for children to do. I'm sure this is packed in the warmer months. The only downside for me was the soft play (for under 4, we didn't use older area), it was a bit sparse and needed a clean. They had a machine for blowing balls in the air but no balls. The bricks in the "ball pit" had also seen better days. My son could only play on the lower level because the steps were too high for the second level and so I couldn't help him access the spiral slide. He was quite sad he couldn't copy the other children or use the slide. It would be great if the lower level could be improved for the little ones to really enjoy. Cafe is basic. Handy food if you didn't prepare but worth bringing a picnic as its only basic sandwiches. All in all, a lovely day for 8 but just needs a tiny bit of tlc.
