Advantages: There is so much to do you can easily spend a day there

Disadvantages: Slightly higher than average prices in the cafe

Cannon Hall has so many things to do it is actually fun for all of the family.
Cannon Hall is a beautiful country house in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, however not only does it have the house to visit there is also a large amount of outside area to explore including an open farm.
The open farm is very well managed, having one door for entrance and one for exit makes life alot easier, especially when there are lots of children about. The prices are very resonable I can't remember exactly but it was definately less than £4 each and family tickets etc are available. Upon entry children get given a little bag of food (we got this free however I believe this is usually for a small cost), this is to feed the animals of their choice whilst they are exploring. They have a large variety of animals such as usual farms animals of Pigs, cows, Sheep then they also have Llamas, Alpacas,Shetland ponies and Wallabies to name a few. If you exit the farm all you do is stamp your hand and this allows you entrance into the farm again at any point, as many times as you like in one day.
Whilst in the farm children have also the very large adventure playground to explore. The children loved this and this is also split up into sections so the smaller children don't get overwhelmed by the larger kids taking charge. There is plenty of seating available for adults aswell so you can sit and enjoy the weather...... if it's nice of course!
When your getting a bit hungry there is a tea room which offer you a huge variation of food from sandwiches to yorkshire puddings! You do pay a little more in here however that is the norm with most visitor attractions. You do get alot of food for your money, and it is a nice treat whilst you are out.
Before the end of your visit here I would highly recommend that you visit the farm shop and deli. The farm shop offers you lots of handmade foods and farm fresh meat which is all resonably price and makes a lovely meal. The deli offer handmade cakes and pies and a large range of cheeses that arn't available as easily as the more common.
Aswell as all of the above there are quite often events on here which any one is welcome to - keep an eye on their website to see what is coming up!
People of all ages will love this place, it's a great day at a small price.

Summary: Great day for adults and kids
