My husband and I came here to pass some time before checking in to our hotel. We were so happy we decided to visit. The staff were friendly and the animals were so cute! We also had the adorable Missy chaperoning us around the farm ☺️ Our hearts were full of happiness when we left.

I went there with my friends as a part of our Erasmus experience. The farm was really amazing! There is a large petting area, where you can pet goats, poney and puppies. We also were lucky to see the milking of a goat and feeding of little ones. The farm is really big and there is so much to see, we spend there all the afternoon and felt like kids again. It was nice to see that animals live in goo...

A kids friendly farm. Not so well maintained, but overall still a nice experience. It has an indoor “monkey town” but everything very dirty especially on a rainy day. The tractor ride was nice. The race track could be nice, but lots of bikes were already broke down. The carrot cake & brownie were surprisingly good, and very friendly priced.
