The people at Mrs Macdonalds Farm Park were so friendly. We called on a short notice to arrange a pony ride which they were happy to accommodate (even though the weather wasn’t amazing). The kids got to help brushing the horse and then of course got to ride it. Liv was so nice and explained lots about horses. Thanks again.

“This place is awesome. I took my daughters here, 4 & 7, and the both loved it. The young ladies were very welcoming and interacted with my daughters whilst they wandered around with excitement. Feeding the animals was a great experience, as was the rabbit cuddles. Would thoroughly recommend spending time here.”

““Mrs. MacDonald” was very lovely and we paid for the tour of the place. There were lots of different animals (goats, a donkey, ponies, dwarf (?) ponies, Guinea pigs, bunnies, llamas (!), pigs, and hundreds of chickens most of whom were very friendly. Our kids (2&5) had a great time!”

“The best child entertainer in town. Kids loved the bunnies, horses, donkey and the adorable little sheep. Worth the entry fee of $6 per child and $2 per adult. Next time I would totally pay the extra $5 to hold the bunnies. A great time and an amazing place.”
