Godstone Farm

Today I had one of the best days this summer holidays... and I didn't need to remorgage! I went to Godstone farm in Surrey, Just off of J6 on the M25 (it is very clearly signposted when you leave the motorway). Parking is free and plentiful and the entry fee is VERY reasonable: adults £3.50, Children £5.80, under 1s £1.50. (passes and group discounts also available as well as kids party options). The opening hours are 10-6, we were there from start to finish and only just fit it all in, so do make a day of it! When you enter the farm you are in a HUGE playground, it really is massive and its full of fabulous equipment; climbing ...  Read the complete review

I was impressed by the fact that a child's ticket cost more than that of the parents..which is usally the reverse in most such places..as if the parents even use any of the kiddy stuff.. While talking about the entrance fee, these were something like Child 1 year £1.50 Child over 2-16 years £5.80 Adult 16+ £3.50 OAP £2.80 There are some group discounts available too. I think one needs to pre-book barns and rooms for a party or gathering before hand to avoid reaching there and finding them all booked. At the ticket booth they give you a map of the area and the directions on-site are large and child-friendly. Usually you don't ...  Read the complete review

Godstone farm is a great place for a day out with the family, but....... don't make the mistake of thinking that it's easily accessible by public transport!
The nearest train station is Caterham which is nearly three miles away and the local buses to Godstone are few and far between. If you're unlucky you may have to wait 90 minutes. No joke when you have children with you!!!

Godstone is so refreshing to visit when you're used to farm parks where you're bossed around, told not to touch anything, and generally nannied. Godstone is much more relaxed, and the children can do what they really want to do, which is touch things, get dirty, and run around without getting under people's feet. The children *adore* going in the rabbit and guinea pig pens to give the animals a cuddle, and stroking the larger animals through fences. Lots of handwashing facilities too. The outdoor play areas are brilliant, with lots of variety - eg old tractors alongside new adventure play equipment. I have never seen such a huge play area. Natural slopes ...  Read the complete review

Why? Because Godstone Farm should be kept a secret and that way you lot can go to Thorpe Park, Chessington and Legoland queing for hours for rides that take 3 minutes! Situated between the M25 and the A22, suprisingly just outside Godstone village in Surrey. First the most amazing thing about this place is the price, children are £3.95 but with each child an adult gets in free! So the average family can get in for less than the price of an adult ticket to Legoland! Huge parking area - must be for at least 500 cars. So what is it then ? Cows, sheep, lambs, rabbits? Yes but I'm saving the best bit for last.... Once in we usually head for the ...  Read the complete review
