🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
Children from toddler age through to around 10 get a full-day visit here across animals, play areas, and seasonal activities. The foam party is a genuine highlight - bring towels and a change of clothes. The colour-coded feeding system means every child can interact with animals safely and independently.

“Another wonderful experience at Mini Meadows Farm this evening. A massive thank you to the amazing Ben and his fantastic team for going above and beyond once again to promote the magic of christmas. This is our 8th year of seeing Santa here and you seem to raise the bar every year! Your attention to detail and the heart that you all put in really doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you so much!! Wishing you all a great christmas and a very happy new year! We look forward to seeing you in 2026! X”

“We had a fantastic day here. You can buy animal feed which is colour coded so you know which animals you can feed. Different selection of animals from guinea pigs to llamas. Massive play area for the kids. Inside play area , small section for toddlers too. If you’re going , definitely do the foam party! We loved it as well as the kids but make sure to take towels and spare clothes! There’s a gift shop at the entrance as well as a restaurant which looked nice. (We took a picnic so can’t review the food) cappuccino’s were lovely though. Overall a good day. We spent about 4 hours there. We were on holiday but If we were in the area again we would visit.”
