๐Ÿ† Funzaroo Verdict

Best for families with children aged 2-10 who want a genuine animal feeding experience at no cost. The compact size makes it manageable for toddlers and keeps visits focused. Older children are likely to find the scale too small. A reliable free outing that pairs well with the adjacent sports pitch.

โฐBring 20p coins to buy animal feed pots on-site

โ€œCosy Little farm, caring and helpful people working there. There were rabbits, ducks, a goose, chickens, turkeys, sheep and goats. All looked well and looked after. My children fell in love with one of the light brown sheep with a blue tag on her right ear. She loved being pet and being scratched on her head and neck. The goats and chickens ate from our hands and were very docile. We loved our visit here, especially because it's free. If you can afford it bring 20p coins to buy animal feed for the animals. The amount is disappointing at first glance, but when you remember that your entrance was free, it really doesn't matter anymore. The farm is ideal for families on low income.โ€

โ€œBalsall Heath City Farm, very small but great fun for little kids. Suitable for children 2 to 10, older kids will probably not get much fun, but you never know. Free entry, which is great, but in these Covid times you have to book via email, and get a slot. You can feed animals, chickens, ducks geese, turkeys. You can also see Guinea pigs, rabbits etc which are in hutches. There are some sheep and goats in a separate enclosure, which you can feed also. Staff are friendly and very helpful, but most of the time it seems to be un maned. Remember it's a charity and not for profit farm. Enjoy!โ€

โ€œGolden gem. Our girls (7yrs and 4yrs) enjoyed themselves at this free farm. Park right outside for free aswell. We spent 40 mins which was just right. Friendly staff. Chickens, geese, ducks, goats, sheep, turkey, rabbits. 20p to get small pot of food to feed animals. Pre book online or just turn up and book as they normally not busy..โ€
