Welcome to Monk Park Farm

  Well worth a visit! - We attended the Halloween themed Wizard Academy event and it was brilliant! There were lots of special activities throughout the day along with all the usual petting farm attractions, plus... read more a few unusual ones. Our eight year old granddaughter had a fantastic day, in fact she went straight home and told her parents that they MUST have a trip there with her very soon. A big hit!

  Great visit! - Amazing day at the Wizard Academy, kids and adults lived it! The two girls who ran the Broomstick session, MagicSkills and Graduation were brilliant!! Well done x

  The cutest little day  - Took my grandson for a Halloween treat, he really enjoyed the day as did we! The show was hilarious! Hats off to the two girls who performed. Highlight was cuddling... read more a piglet. Lovely place and very well set out. Will definitely be back

  Best Day Out  - We had an amazing day at the Wizard Accadamy, the two entertainers were excellent. My grandson loved his day there and so did we.

  Nice day  - We had a good day. It was themed for Halloween, where there were several activities/shows based around wizardry. The theme was well done, the animals were varied and plentiful. It... read more was slightly over priced in my opinion, paying £15 for over 1's and then having to pay additional cost for a barrel rid and cars etc. Food again was over priced. The burgers were awfully fatty and poor quality. We all thought the entertainment made it, the two young ladies that ran the live stage shows were excellent!

  A great day out  - Fantastic day out. So much to do. The wizard academy was brilliant. Especially the two main wizards, who interacted with everyone so well and were making everyone laugh. Thanks... read more for a great first visit. We will certainly be back.

  Fab day out for the whole family!  - Fantastic fun for the family! Brilliant activities and performances throughout the day to keep the kids entertained! We attended the Wizard Academy and the kids loved it. Very well organised... read more and reasonably priced. Highly recommended, we will definitely return!

  Wonderful place but pricey for a one year old - We took our grandchildren for a treat .0ne 3 year old and twins just under 1 year old . Wonderful place but entry price when the twins turn one is... read more £15 per child which really makes an expensive day out only to be afforded once a year . Apart from the price everything was lovely. Staff friendly and smiley . Animals also great with Guinea pigs , goats and pigs firm favourites. . Cafe food a bit disappointing quite dry chicken nuggets and chips but won’t be a problem if visiting g in the summer months as lots of places to picnic with your own food .
Overall definitely worth a visit

  Monk park farm  - Great day out loads to do smuggles with the piglets very entertaining well done to the team keep up the great work you do loved it

  Brilliant day  - Such a lovely place to visit. Our one year old granddaughter loved it
Lots to do and see
The petting of the animals went down a treat

  Halloween  - Great, lots to do and see.
Wizard academy was great and lots for little ones. Everyone very helpful. Cafe provided good service too

  Amazing fabulous entertaining day  - What a beautiful little place this is,
We haven’t been since our own children were small, and today we took our 3 year old grandson, there is so much... read more to see and do for them- all ages, we loved every minute of today and my grandson was thrilled with the little train- best customer of the day I think!
The staff are all fabulous, they all love their job, nothing too much trouble, and they made it so much fun for the children! All the animals are well looked after and have a wonderful life there I’m sure! They are kept in a very safe environment, and spotlessly clean.
Hand wash facilities every where to keep us and the animals safe.
Great little cafe, fair prices too
We only planned staying for 2-3 hours but my grandson enjoyed it that much he didn’t want to leave!
Would recommend monk park farm to everyone!! 5*

  Wizard academy  - So much to do, the Wizard academy was amazing! So much detail! Staff were all super friendly! Amazing day. We have loved it. Would highly recommend

  Great day out - I thought our day out was brilliant. We really enjoyed doing different activities that we haven’t done at other farms. It was a shame the summer event had finished. My... read more girl was still on summer holidays but we still had an excellent time

  Family farm visit. Brilliant day, expensive food  - Brilliant day at the farm so much for the kids to do we took our year old and 6 month old and we all had a brilliant day, lovely tidy... read more clean well organised farm!

Price for entry was really reasonable cost us just over £20 and all activities included in the price, bouncies, go carts, train rides and the petting barn activities all included, 2 really good parks with plenty to do for a lot of ages.

Only down side was the cafe was really expensive, cost us nearly £35 for a cold wrap, 2 paninis some fries and 3 drinks. Very basic food nothing special for the price. I felt this really let the farm down as everything else was amazing! We can get 3 full size hot meals for less than that price at the local pub.

All in all, brilliant day would just have to take our own food next time.

  Great value !!  - Plenty todo
The investment into the park over the last year is amazing always something new! The staff are also amazing!!

  Brilliant day out  - Absolutely beautiful day with my granddaughter she loved seeing all the animals going on the train ride an barrel ride also loved the play parks had a lovely lunch there... read more as well

  An unexpected great day out.  - The farm is a great day out for younger families I'd say it's more aimed towards younger ones not older ones. The petting area was great, very clean and tidy.... read more Plenty of little goats etc for the kids to feed and it never felt busy or cramped. There's quiet abit of waking involved especially round the woodland walk but again it's good to grab a coffee and walk round to have abit of chill out time with the younger ones. Overall we had a good day out. My only criticism would be the toilet block. For the size of the farm and how good everything else is the toilet let it down slightly. Only one cubical in the boys room .not ideal when there are loads of kids.

  What a great day out for a great price!  - Monk Park Farm absolutely smashed it again. So much to do and fantastic value for money. I have been many times with my two grandchildren and am never disappointed... read more . There is always something different to do and their Monk Fest was brilliant. Well done, Monk Park Farm staff. Another great day out and I didn’t have to sell a vital organ to pay for it!

  Funday - Great day grandkids loved it tired them out . Lots to do and see loved the lama leap . And barrel ride. Touching the different animals in the petting barn.

  Great family day out..  - Arrived for our first visit with my 2 year old granddaughter. Got all the information of events taking place.
Headed to the feeding barn, she loved it being able... read more to see the animals close up and feed the llamas and goats.
Lots going on bracelet making, stone paining, dancing, digging bike riding and bouncing on the pillows.. the fun was endless. Due to exhaustion we never managed to do everything but will be back for sure.
£11 internet price I thought is was great value for money..

  Summer festival fun  - What a brilliant farm. A little on the expensive side however it’s not like any other farm I’ve been to in the past. We were there from doors opening to... read more close. There was loads to do. Everything was well thought out. The kids absolutely loved it. Wish we had more time. Thanks for a great day! We’re still recovering the day after 😂

  Lovely place...  - Just a great place to go for every age group .Lovely cafe and fabulous if the sun is shining .The only fault would be that our visit was today and... read more very hot. There were umbrellas by the tables but nit many. Some area of outside shade would have been good

  Packed With Fun  - Absolutely Brilliant Full Day Out With The Grandkids. So Much To Do And See, The Staff Were Amazing and Monkfest Was A Fantastic Extra Bonus

  Brilliant day from start to finish 👏  - Brilliant day from start to finish 👏 arrived at the farm at 11am and didn't leave until 4.30 and we never ran out of things to do.
From the... read more pig racing to barrel rides and feeding the animals, plus the endless amount of fun at the parks, sandpits and bouncing pillows there's something for everyone.
Cafe was a bit pricey kids meal £7 and 4 ice creams for nearly £16 but you can also take a picnic which we would if we lived nearby.
Finished the day off with a foam party which was so much fun for adults and children.
All round brilliant day. Will definitely return when we come back to Yorkshire.

  Summer Holidays - We came here with 3 of our grandchildren aged 3,4 &6.
They loved the hands on experience with the animals and nothing was too much trouble. The family owners... read more were working throughout the farm and interacted with everyone.
Lovely day out, plenty picnic areas too.
Not sure how it would be on a wet day but I’m sure a rain Mac won’t stop the fun. Very good value for money!

  July 2024  - Lovely, well organised with loads to keep your little and some big ones entertained. Enjoyed feeding the goats, sheep and red deer. A good mix of animals to... read more see and play areas for everyone. A very nice day out.

  Family Fun Day out  - Our second visit to Monk Farm the first being Easter 2023,
Children got to bottle feed the goats in the petting barn (check times )
lots of other animals to... read more see inside there too before heading outside to explore the extra large sandpit , Inflated trampoline’s and a few climb and slide kiddies playground features , We had pre purchased food to feed the animals ie sheep goats etc as we strolled into the farm’s park area where there’s another kids larger play area duck pond and a mix of animals ( Alpacas etc ) , We had timed it right for the small racing pigs grand derby Harry Trotter being the favourite of the 4 , free tickets to guess the winner ,Heading back to the picnic area we stopped of at the tractor ride pre paid tickets are £2.00 or £2.50 on the day !
On quieter Days you need to check the running order of the smaller attractions to make sure you fit them all in and don’t miss out as we did on the train ride ( it was on again later that afternoon but the children were worn out by then having been there since 10.30 , We would normally take a packed lunch and make use of the picnic area provided but today we bought kids meals for £7.00 each that was a hot dog , fries , a drink, banana and yogurt kids ate it all up so that was a bonus . Check the web site to see what’s on and when before u go .

  Brilliant day  - A brilliant day, the place is immaculate and well kept, the animals are well kept. There were lots of things to do involving the animals from bottle feeding baby goats... read more to donkey grooming, donkey trekking, pig racing, and much more. Plenty of staff around and all seemed happy and helpful. Play park caters for all ages with zip wire, massive trampoline, and other equipment. My 3 teenagers loved it and talking about going back.

  Great range of animals - would be very good if you have kids  - The range of animals was really good for a small farm and due to everything being spaced out, it meant you barely had to wait to see each animal. There... read more was an indoor petting barn which was lovely, with clear signage indicating which animals could have the animal feed.

There was a bottle feeding experience with the goats which a lot of the kids were doing and they seemed to be doing donkey grooming later in the day as well. There was a huge range of play equipment etc if you have kids. I went with my parents and we spent about 2.5 hours there but I reckon if you had kids you could probably spend a whole day there.

Whilst we were looking at the alpacas a very knowledgeable member of staff came up to tell us about the elederly Lulu who is 28! There was a nice picnic area beside the pond where we ate our packed lunches and a nice woodland trail to follow back to the farm after looking at the fields.

Really nice day out - I have taken a star off due to several very miserable staff members! We went to watch pig racing which was supposed to be at 1330 - they didn't bother to turn up until 1338, then spent another 7 minutes faffing about doing 'bets'. The race then started but was completely pointless because they forgot to open the second gate so all the pigs stopped halfway round. We then walked back up to the petting barn where another member of staff was telling two little kids that they couldn't possibly have a couple of minutes stroking a guinea pig because it was going to bed now!

Lovely farm, gorgeous well-looked after animals. Would definitely recommend - good price considering the amount of attractions available. We absolutely loved the degus in the petting barn - they are so friendly and entertaining 😊

  Best day of the week  - A super fun day out certainly better than the animal farm film & book. Enjoyed seeing the animals especially the Guinea pigs. Took part in pig racing, my pig lost... read more but he did so well and over took at one point. The goats were so greedy! one thing that could be improved is putting the Guinea pigs on the wall plus being allowed to hold them. My family enjoyed their day too plus it was our first time there. Our family members had recommended the company to us.

  BRILLIANT DAY OUT - Excellent day out, loads to do - lovely food in the cafe, friendly staff- plenty of hand washing facilities- highly recommend

  Amazing family day out!  - What a lovely day!

We started at 10am, my 5 year old absolutely loved the sandpit & park so of course we had to start there first. ... read more />
Next she went onto the barrel ride for £2.50, the man driving the tractor made is so fun for the kids!

Very reasonable price for animal food, so we got a few bags and took them into the barn and fed the goats (who are so funny, my 5 year old laughed the whole time) my 8 month old loved seeing them, but mostly they loved seeing the little piglets.

We went around seeing all other animals in the barn then went back out and visited the restaurant.

We ordered:
Kids meal tomato pasta with fruit, yoghurt & drink
Tuna jacket potato with side of coleslaw & beans
Crispy chicken burger & fries
Mocha
Can of pepsi
Rasperry unicorn drink
x2 chocolate tarts
= £47

Wasnt badly priced, we were stuffed.

After this she went to play on the little bikes and carts, then whizzed over to the electric karts that cost around £2 a turn. She got a few laps so in my opinion, worth the £2, wish they were a little cheaper to make it more affordable for family days out on a budget, feel like they would have a lot more uses (maybe even if you prepurchase with your tickets you get it discounted? Just an idea)

After this we headed down to see the pond and all of the other animals, it was so lovely! They have a zip line and another park which wasnt as busy because people didnt seem to know it was there. My daughter LOVED it.

We had to actually rush back as the FOAM PARTY had started, it was so good to see all the children have so much fun and get soaking wet on a warm day.

Lastly we grabbed icecreams:
Tub of soft serve with flake and sauce
Sprinkle cone with soft service and flake
Waffle cone with 2 scoops flavoured icecream
=£13ish

Was delicious, highly rate!

Ultimately, we chose to do and pay for extras today but you can have lots of fun without.

The staff were absolutely lovely, and extremely helpful. Even the staff in the restaurant couldnt do enough for you. They were filling up peoples water bottles constantly and not once did I see a face or eyeroll, it was just never a problem. The man driving the tractor coming round with his microphone getting the kids hyped up for the foam party was great fun.

I purchased extras, I dont have a problem, my only gripe from this whole day was needing to pay £2.50 for a blanket to hold the piglets.. I didnt pay it. I felt paying for a barrel ride and kart ride could be justified. But paying for a blanket not so much. 50p-£1 maybe.. BUT.. you could take your own.. thats my bad.

Overall.. amazing day, left at closing time and I honestly felt we didnt get to see everything or stay as long as we could have. Cant wait to go back!!

  Amazing day very good value for money - Had an amazing day at Monk Park Farm with our little one, she loved it and to be honest so did we! Lots of animals to see and things to... read more do all at a very reasonable cost.

  Great day out - Had an amazing day out,
From the pet and feed, play areas
And the entertainer in the Marquee really finished the day off , kids loved it every bit.... read more Well worth a visit!
All the staff was fantastic and helpful.
Thanks to Jack who helped us
mel in the cafe and the rest of monk park farm staff for a great day.

  Great day out  - We visited here during the school Easter holidays with children and grandchildren, we all had a great day. The children loved the bouncy pillows and the rides and everyone loved... read more cuddling a piglet and feeding the lambs. The animals were very well cared for and the grounds were neat and tidy despite the mud from all the bad weather recently. All the staff were friendly and obliging.

  Excellent day out for kids 🐷🐄🐑  - Went here on the last week of Easter hols with my two grandsons, what a amazing place for a full day out! So many different interactive animal activities to... read more choose from with something for everyone even adults. There’s a big playground with jumping pillows also swing and slides, a barrel ride and a little train ride. There’s a marquee with shows taking place and a lovely woodland walk which leads to another big playground and a big duck pond! My grandson’s especially like planting a carrot seed in a pot n then being able to cuddle a piglet. This is probably the best farm and park we’ve been to so far!
Thankyou monk farm park for an amazing day out👍

  A FANTASTIC day for ALL the family 🐣  - It was our first visit to Monk Park Farm today and what a brilliant day we had! It’s incredibly good value for money and suitable for ALL the family -... read more our party included toddlers and grandparents! From the minute you arrive you can tell these guys know their stuff. From the well run carpark which is only a short walk to the ticket office, to the clean, well stocked toilet facilities. The welfare of the animals is clearly top of their agenda but the warm water in the hand wash area was also a lovely touch! There is so much to do and it’s all set amongst some lovely grounds which are easy to navigate with well maintained footpaths. The whole team are friendly and hardworking and a credit to the management team. We can’t wait to return! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  Lovely visit  - We had a lovely visit to Monk Park Farm. This was our first visit here but it certainly won't be our last!
We booked as we saw 'snuggle a snout'... read more advertised. We loved it. There was a lot of time queueing as it was so so busy but we just waited as we really wanted to do it.
The farm is set out well, all very clean, the aminals looked well cared for. The play parks were great, my daughter really enjoyed them.
A great day out, spoilt a tiny but by the queing but its expected on Easter Sunday.
Thank you you a fab visit.

  We had the best day at Monk Park Farm. The kids were happy and entertained the whole time. The staff were all lovely and the whole place was spotless. We... read more will definitely be returning.

  Fantastic value for money - A wonderful day out with my 6 year old. I was so impressed with how clean and healthy all the animals and pens were and how friendly and accommodating... read more the staff were. The food and drink is very reasonably priced and lovely and fresh. We had sunshine and showers and it wasn’t a problem as there was the cafe or the barn to shelter under. We will be visiting again soon and have booked my sons birthday party there. Well worth the visit!

  Great day out - The children enjoyed all the play areas, the pig race was excellent. Feeding the animals and interacting with them. On the whole fab day out. We... read more ate in the cafe food excellent and reasonably priced .

  Fantastic day! - It was a fantastic day.
Couple with 2 year old, Sunday 10:30-2:30.
The petting barn is spacious and immaculate, lots of animals to pet and feed all very clean and... read more healthy. Great new goat enclosure.
There is an area with a great selection of ride on toys that my boy loved! All great brands, and quality, nothing was broken! Balance bikes, trikes, tractors etc.
Fab barrel ride which drives around the grounds, they even have cushioned seats and had put some plastic down so you didn’t get a wet bum from the mornings rain.
Sandpit and play areas were large and immaculate never waiting for an activity, suitable for all abilities.
Big bouncy pillows were great fun and there was an area for little children so my boy didn’t get overwhelmed with big kids.
The woodland walk is lovely and just the right length for little legs with lots of animals and play area on the way round.
Nothing was closed, broken down or under repair it was all just excellent.

As a vegan I would have liked a bit more choice in the cafe but the food I saw looked nice, service was quick and there are large picnic areas to enjoy.

We will be going back very soon

  Amazing! - Loved it!

We stopped off on our way back home to Cumbria from a holiday in Lincolnshire and I'm so glad we did! Our 3 year old daughter loved... read more hand feeding the goats, playing with all the toys and on the play areas. I've never seen her so confident around animals like this before. Best part for me was cuddling the cute fluffy sheep!

Kids lunch box is incredibly great value, ane our lunch was superb. Very tasty and well priced. Cheeseburger panini needs to become a thing!

We have a farm park like this at home, but Monk Park Farm has the edge for me. Ours at home is also 3 times the price and isnt as much of a friendly place at Monk Park.

Would highly recommend!

  Great place to visit - Great place to visit with children. Animals well cared for, lots of things for children to do with play areas etc but also some lovely walks. All clean and tidy,... read more friendly staff too
I’ve come here quite a few times with my grandchildren and it’s always a reliably good day out

  July 2023 we had the best time, everything is clean and tidy and the staff go above and beyond to make you welcome and are always busy tidying, we arrived... read more early and my boy was desperate for the toilet they let us in early so he could use the toilet, clean and spacious picnic place 🙂 lots of animals to feed too 🙂

  Great family day out! - Fabulous day out for animal lovers and young ones. Park is well presented, well run and clean.
Very friendly staff, nice cafe and well maintained play areas

  Great fun for young and old! - Took my friend and her 7 year old daughter for a day out. It was fantastic, despite only living a very short distance from Monk Park Farm I’d never... read more been and wasn’t sure what to expect. Although, strictly speaking, entrance was only for school parties during the week I explained that my friend was only in town for a couple of days and they told me to come along which was really kind. So we were 3 adults and one child but we were all thoroughly impressed with the place. We enjoyed the barrel ride, feeding the animals in the petting barn, the pig racing and wandering around the grounds looking at the wide range of animals they have. The facilities are great, it is a wonderful family day out but to be fair for anyone who loves animals and a nice walk round the park in the fresh air I’d highly recommend it to young and old.

  What a great place! Birthday party for our 7 years old exceeded our expectations! We were well looked after and the day was fulfilled with fun and so many things... read more to do. All party crew could enjoy the park for the full day too. The park is under a new management with an investment seen all over the place. We will definitely visit again and would highly recommend this location for both birthday parties and family days out. Thank you!

  A must visit especially if you have children. - Really relaxed and friendly welcoming staff that tell you when special events are starting. Our favourite was the pig race and of course the chance to feed the animals.

  Always love it here!

I’ve been coming here since I was a child, I’ve taken my nieces and nephews and I came with a friend on Monday. ... read more />
Purely for the cute animals! We both had a lovely day! There is lots to do for children and adults.

  Fabulous Birthday Party - Ey up! What an amazing day we had for our little boys birthday party. We have always enjoyed the farm and booked a party for our boy and 10 friends.... read more From booking to the end it was such a great experience. Nothing was too much trouble, all the staff were friendly and helpful, they all made my boy feel special on his day. Excellent value for money!! Much better than a soft play where you only get 2 hours, the whole day at the farm with friends. I cannot recommend Monk Park Farm enough!! They only down side was having to go home at the end! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

  Lots to do and see - Great farm park with lots to do. Kept us entertained for 4-5 hours. Lots of play areas and picnic spots to stop off at and keep the kids entertained on... read more the walk. Great that the little train was also included in the price.

  Fantastic family day out - Fantastic day out over the Easter holidays, my children (10,8&1) all thoroughly enjoyed the day. We were greeted by a very friendly young man on arrival, staff throughout the park... read more were helpful and friendly. The lamb feeding was fabulous, the children enjoyed the new play park down at the bottom end. 10/10 service from Mel and team in the cafe, the picnic bags for children are fantastic, didn’t have to wait long at all for food. Looking forward to our next visit 🙂

  Fabulous day - We are an out of school club and we brought a large group of children to the farm. From booking and enquiring right through to us attending the service was... read more brilliant. The booking process was fab and the lady who dealt with my emails was very prompt and gave great detail of what was to be expected and how the day would go. We were well looked after whilst we were there and the children had the best day. We were given a lunch area under a marquee which was fab so that we were separate and it ensured that the children had somewhere to eat their lunch. All the facilities were fantastic and so much for the children to do, they especially loved the play area.

  Fab Easter visit - Best lamb feeding experience that have done. Reasonably priced compared to equivalent places in the area although more limited if the weather isn’t dry (it was on the day we... read more visited so we were able to make full use of the park / sandpit / train etc)

  Brilliant place for little ones. Animals were well looked after and little one had a great time petting them.
The cafe was fantastic for us as we have a... read more lot of different allergys and we were all catered for. Including dairy free icecreams for those who couldn't have it. Gluten soya and egg free also catered for. 5* for this alone as we normally only have a bottle of water and chips if were lucky.
The kids loved the play Area and the barrel ride. We will definitely be back again soon

  Good Friday? The Best!  - We had an absolute super day at Monk Park Farm. Our two young boys were engrossed and entertained all day. The play areas, bouncing pillows and barrel rides all... read more a big hit as was the lamb feeding. The petting barn was great; a close up, hands on experience for two very curious boys. The staff were very friendly and happy to answer the constant questions that a 4 year old can ask. It was a very busy bank holiday but we managed to do all we wanted to with queues moving quickly, the cafe was extremely busy but the table turnover was constant and the food was served quickly.

A perfect start the the long bank holiday weekend. The boys were worn out and slept the way home, they’ve been talking about it for days afterwards. We will be back

  Great day out for the kids! - Our kids are 4 and 6 and we had a really great day out -they loved the animals, the walk was just right, and the parks were brilliant! Food was... read more great too. We were really happily surprised by the space and playgrounds and we had a fab day out!

  Fantastic day out  - Fantastic day out for all the family, great value for money, plenty to keep kids of all ages entertained!
Where to start with the cafe, family run, all the staff... read more where so friendly and polite (it was so busy too) the food is really yummy, cornish pasties to die for and chocolate tray bakes (we got some to take home too) thank you all
