Voted Farm Attraction of the Year 2009, Mead Open Farm delivers hours of ‘hands-on’ animal fun and action packed play. Plus with all activities included in admission, it’s also great value too!
Everyday, children can bottle feed lambs, milk cows, groom ponies and give cute bunnies their daily cuddles. And in Shaggy’s huge indoor PlayWorld, it’s 100% play, play, play. Spanning 13,000 square feet, there’s giant drop slides to brave, ball cannons to fire and fireman’s poles to descend. Whilst for the younger toddlers, Shaggy’s PlayWorld is also home to a separate soft play zone.
Combined with crazy golf, go-karts, outdoor log play adventure and during the Summer months, tractor and trailer rides and sheep races there’s so much to do. So much in fact, visitors can take a well-deserved break in the Tea Room or Shaggy’s PlayWorld café.
