​
We spent almost 2 hours there. If bringing a lunch with you or eating at the attraction, you could easily spend at least another hour there.
​
At Fairytale Farm, there was a variety of different fairytales to visit. This included Jack's Beanstalk, Snow White Garden and many more. There was an adventure playground which included a wheelchair accessibility swing, farm animals to view including pigs and donkeys, rabbit and guinea pig petting, gift shop and many interactive areas for children to play.
​
Our favourite part was walking through all the fairytale areas where there were large statues. Many of these statues has buttons nearby to press which allowed music/sounds to play.
​
There is plenty of parking available in a gravel style carpark. There is also disabled parking spaces available. Parking is free of charge.
​
While at Fairytale Farm, you can stop for something to eat at their cafe. Prices at the cafe seemed reasonable for what you would expect from a day out, however they mainly only offered cakes and sandwiches. There were also benches around to enjoy a home brought lunch.
​
When we visited, our eldest was 5 months old. We found this day out had something for everyone, however felt the adventure playground is aimed more at the ages of 2-10 years old.
​
We only found a set of toilets near the cafe. However, changing facilities and accessibility toilets were also available there.
​
We found the paths quite flat and did not struggle to push the pushchair around the park.
Overall, we would visit again if we were in the area. When we saw staff, they were friendly and helpful. The farm is an ongoing project, which meant when we were there were construction areas around the attraction as new areas were being added. I also felt due to the size of the land around the adventure playground, they could have added more elements for younger children, therefore we have rated this day out 3 1/2 stars out of 5.
