We visited Old MacDonald’s Farm with our two children (aged 4 and 2), and it was such a fantastic day out! The last time we came was just before my son turned one, and he was a little too young to appreciate the full experience, so I can honestly say the experience this time was so much better. Both kids absolutely loved the rides – which I think is one of the best things about this farm. You don’t just get to see and interact with the animals (which they also enjoyed), but there are so many rides (some of which are even suitable for babies) and outdoor play areas that kept them fully engaged. It really does offer something for everyone. There were plenty of opportunities to meet the animals (we did the rabbit encounter), and we were lucky to catch the summer circus too – my children really enjoyed that. The staff stood out as well; everyone we met was so kind and friendly, which made the experience even nicer. On top of that, there are indoor soft play areas for rainy days, but we had sunny, warm weather so the kids made the most of the outdoor climbing frames and slides. We visited from 10am until 3pm, but honestly, you could easily spend the whole day here until closing. My tip would be to arrive early: start with the animals and then move on to the rides once they open at 11am. A brilliant family day out – we’ll definitely be back!

First visit of many to this beautiful country park. There was ample parking, charged at a reasonable rate and a cafe on site too. Public toilets are dotted about and the ones we used were very clean. Plenty of space to enjoy a picnic and very peaceful. My little girl loved the play areas and the animals.

Great place to visit. Definitely recommend coming here. Staff are super friendly. Would be nice to have a few more toilets on site for when it gets busy. Overall it’s a great farm. Glad we came for my partner’s birthday

I’m not going to lie, I’ve been to King George’s playing fields maybe 5 times over 20 years of living in Brentwood. It’s a nice park that once or twice a year is used for events like the strawberry fair! It’s got great facilities for kids including a tree top climbing frame, kids adventure playground, and a huge number of playground rides from zip wires to swings. Dog walkers and kit fit folks in the mornings, chillers in the afternoon and kids in the afternoons, the park is important for everyone in their own way. Well kept grounds, clean, friendly, it’s definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful reserve with bird hides, many signs around the reserve with history, old pictures of the grounds and fun facts. Good place to view snowdrops and daffodils too Limited parking on site, no dogs allowed except guide/service dogs and no toilets There's a pub next-door that's very accommodating!

To be honest, my expectancies were very low about this experience. However, I was quite surprised at how quickly my kids learned. They are not easy to please, but they love ski lessons. The place looks old, but not in a bad way. All made of wood, like you are straight on the top of the mountain :). The toilets were always clean, regardless how busy it was, you can always find a space in the car park and people are very nice with good vibes.
