Advantages: great farm animals and activities

Disadvantages: so much to fit in to the day and the kids never want to leave

Bocketts Farm is a working family farm set in the beautiful Surrey countryside.
We (myself and my husband) bring our two sons here at least once a year as it the best farm that is closest to us.
We do however have a farm that is situated just 10 minutes walk from our home but its so down rated I would never dream of taking my boys there as the stories Ive heard about it I just dont think they would enjoy it so would not pay the prices they charge to go.

Any way back to the review of this lovely Farm.The farm is open throughout the year, from 10am - 6pm.
You'll always find baby animals to see such as piglets, chicks, kids and lambs from December until June.
My boys always enjoy feeding the sheep as soon as we enter the farm so I always buy them a bag of food each only costing 30p a bag and that lasts them all the way round till we finish.

And With trampolines, slides, play barns, soft play areas, famous pig races, tractor & trailer rides and pony rides there's never a dull moment.
My boys always want to stay longer and we are usually there the whole day.

At the entrance before you go in you get a coloured wrist band incase you want to go back to your car and re enter these are different coloured every day so that you dont keep the one on and try getting in free the folling day (Not that I have tried this).

There is always so much to see and do when at the farm ranging from..

Regular animal handling sessions - when you can stroke small animals and learn about them from the staff. These take place everyday at 11.15am, 12.15pm, 2.15pm, 3.15pm and 4.15pm

Goat milking - twice daily at 11.00am and 3.00pm

Pony Rides which take place (weather conditions permitting) once a day, or twice a day at busy times for children aged 3 years and over. There is a charge of £1.50 for this activity. Pony rides are not always available on winter weekdays.

So as you can see its very much worth a visit.

Thanks for reading I think this has been my longest review yet.x

Summary: Feeding the animals is soo fun for the kids.
