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

  AMAZING - farm was amazing!! popped into the cafe food was at the table within 5minutes off ordering!! amazing service would totally recommend!! was busy with screaming children and the queue went... read more down fairly quick!! food was amazing will definitely be coming back!!

  Had a great time as usual. We got to bottle feed 3 week old baby lambs, got to see some Lambs that had been born the day before and on... read more the day we visited which was lovely, got to see a white peacock showing it’s feathers and got to feed a llama, the food was fantastic and arrived in literally minutes which was amazing. We got a burger and two paninis and the chunky chips are lovely. Looks like they are bringing a pig racing thing soon so will come back soon to see that. Could do with making more of an effort with cakes at the restaurant, I wasn’t interesting in anything in the small cabinet.

  What a fantastic Christmas experience! My cousins and I had a fab day with our kids. Even though it was freezing we were kept entertained in the warm with petting... read more farm, crafts and reindeer food making.
We loved the lights and decor or the farm and Santa and the gifts were great. The staff couldn’t have done more for us and we’re all super jolly even in minus degrees. Most of the park is still open and even in freezing conditions we braved a 11.00-3.30 stay! Great day out ️

  Frosty but fun day out - We visited today and had such a good day. All of the staff were super friendly, but a big shout out to Mrs Claus who was fantastic! There was even... read more a visit from the Christmas T-Rex which with a Dino fanatic in the group was a fantastic surprise!
Our main reason for visiting was for the Christmas experience which was lovely. If we were to have a little niggle it would be that Santa did not have 3 of the 4 children in our group on his list even though they were all on the same booking. This did mean he had to ask the 3 children what their names were and what they liked which did take away some of the magic.
Overall a lovely day

  Came to the farm yesterday and can't believe the effort put in for Christmas. Lots to do like reindeer food making in Mrs Clauses kitchen and Santa's grotto is... read more fantastic. We loved the tipi as you walked in the kids loved to see the donkeys In the nativity

  Had a lovely visit here today 8th December 2022. The main seller was the father Christmas experience. Completely blew us away. You are usually rushed in and out of grotto's... read more but we had 10 mins plus with the big guy. He put on a real show and connected well. Complete professional, no amateur...!

The farm was in a little state of "hibernation", most of the attractions were closed (air bouncer, train and go kart track) but that's not what we went for and it was too cold. We went for the big guy and he didn't disappoint.

The site was set out very magical, lights and lovely theme and feeling. Mrs Claws aka the barrel driver did a fab job and was lovely. Big shout out to all the staff, warm, welcoming and friendly!

Would recommend.

  Myself and my 5 year old son had a great day. It was a fun filled day, we have been before but things did feel a bit more spruced up... read more and a bit more to do. Pros were the friendly staff, the spooky trail, goat bottle feeding and happy animals. Cons were paying extra for the barrel ride, lack of hand washing at the pumpkin carving and the old broken pedal vehicles. But the few niggles didn't stop us having a wonderful day, 5 year old was very taken with guinea pig feeding and petting. Food was fairly reasonable, quick and tasty at the cafe and without exception every staff member we came across was beyond friendly and helpful. We will be back!

  Excellent Farm It's mine and our daughters go to farm a couple of times a year. Halloween wasn't disappointing me and my daughter loved it. Lots of pumpkins to chose... read more from we had fun painting and decorating it. And not to forget all the animals and feeding of the goats. Staff are super friendly lovely little gift shop cafe

  Excellent day out - We had an amazing day out, pumpkin picking and painting. Riding the barrel train and feeding the goats. We are lunch in the cafe the children's meals were excellent value... read more and included a wide range of items. The staff serving and clearing up were so well mannered and spoken. Well done

  This place just gets better and better!! I’ve been going here since I was a kid and it was good then and now I take my family and this year... read more for autumn they have added a whole pumpkin patch!! You can pick a pumpkin, take pictures in the pumpkin patch with the old tractor, they have a massive basket filled with pumpkins, a big tent you can go in to paint or carve your pumpkin. There’s other pumpkins inside you can buy that are different sizes and funky looking! They have recently put in a train, although a bit too small for adults knees but lovely for kids, two bouncy pillows which are really good, they have lamb feeding where you can bottle feed the lambs, they have some lovely Guinea pigs you can feed, and some goats you can feed with feed bags which are so lovely and love a stroke. The Halloween walk was great too. They have Halloween naughts and crosses and pumpkin bowling. Loved the witches hut (suggestion for next year put a dressed up witch in the witches hut ) the work they have done around the lake is amazing. It used to be so crowded you couldn’t see or appreciate the lake, they have removed the dead trees and left a sign to explain why they removed the dead trees as they were causing an issue for wildlife so removed them to make space around the lake for wildlife which is lovely. The new park by the lake is good! Cafe is good too! Lovely day out, thanks folk!

  Had a great afternoon here, so much to do and see, especially great for little ones. Loved the petting barn, bottle feeding goats, little train and pumpkin carving.... read more Shame cafe shut early but ice creams yummy. Well impressed

  We have just spent the morning at the amazing Halloween event. We arrived to polite and friendly staff that were very helpful. We then enjoyed the adventure playground, feeding the... read more animals and carving a pumpkin. All in all a brilliant day and cheap for a full day's activities.

  Took my granddaughter to this large petting farm near Thirsk. We had a lovely time, stroking animals and enjoying the walk around the grounds. Plenty to do for the little... read more one. Good value for a nice day out

  We visited yesterday. We were very impressed as soon as we arrived. The animals are really well looked after and the staff are very friendly and helpful. There is a... read more wonderful playground with lots of different things to amuse the children. Our three year old grandson had a wonderful time as did we.

  AMAZING! Brilliant birthday party experience - would definitely recommend! Brought 11 5-6year olds to Monk Park farm for my daughter birthday - was definitely a bit worried as they are... read more so young but the whole experience was brilliant. Met the party coordinator who was really friendly and made a good amount of fuss over all the kids but particularly the birthday girl. She somehow managed to memorise all the kids almost immediately and kept track of them all. We were given a private area to have the birthday meal and also to keep stuff. There was an itinerary which included special cuddles with the guinea pigs, and a tortoise, a special train ride - private, just for the birthday party guests then a private tractor ride and a special VIP area for feeding the sheep. The kids were over the moon! All of the kids loved every minute. The picnic lunch provided had a good variety, most of the kids opted for the hot dog but it also came with cheese dippers, fruit, jelly and muffin. After the lunch the kids had free play for as long as they wanted - we gave them about 40 minutes and then Monk park farm also organised their party bags and an ice cream. Never had such a good party experience and I have done a lot of parties at different places over the years. Will definitely be booking again. Thank you Monk Park farm - the guests and Birthday girl (and all the parents) are all talking about how brilliant it was and how lovely Charlotte is. Just a couple of things I would recommend to Monk Park farm - your website for the party experience is not up to date - the information you emailed to me and the experience itself is so much better than what the website describes - I would update it. But that is the only change I would recommend.

  This was a beautiful place the animals where so well kept my daughter in law loves cows so she qas in her element nit expensive to enter but it did... read more say to book on line but u can book when uget there food was excellent

  My partner and I really enjoyed our visit to this farm. My partner happens to be blind so being able to get up close and personal with animals really enhances... read more experiences for her, We enjoyed feeding the goats in the petting barn and then feeding kids (young goats, not children!) with a bottle. We had a lovely walk around seeing all the other animals they have. We went back to the petting barn where one of the staff (the manager?) was kind enough to lift out a guinea pig from its pen onto the low wall so that my partner could stroke it. As we were told of some of their plans for expansion we will definitely go back.

  Brilliant day out, the animals are clean and look well looked after. The petting barn was my little ones favourite, she was delighted when a Guinea pig did a poo.... read more The play parks are brilliant, mostly accessible. Only one suggestion being that they make it a little more accessible to get on the play park.

Fabulous day and a bargain in my book.

  Great place for the little ones. Plenty for them to do and the petting farm was a great hit with our two young children (5yrs & 3yrs). Would certainly recommend... read more and well worth a visit.

  Where shall I start. Entry very very good price, 5 adults 3 children £61, bargain. Arrived at 10am left at 3pm. Staff are the best, they where so helpful and... read more a great welcome. The park has had a lot of money spent on it and it shows. My 3 grandchildren 1 x 5year, 2 x 6 year had the best time ever. The bouncy domes (Don't know the name) where a great hit, the electric cars (£1) ago are great value. The little train which is free super. The barrel ride was enjoyed by all, the lady riding the tractor is a treasure. The play park which there are now 2 are super. Cafe we only had drinks very reasonable prices. Took a picnic loads and loads of picnic tables. We are local so a season ticket for us all next year. Thank you for such a great day. Visited 19/8/22.

  Had a day there 15f08/22 ,very nice farm park ,good value for money would like to see more donkeys , we love them

  Great family day out. There’s lots of things to do here, loads of different animals to look at and to feed. The food is reasonably priced and the staff are... read more very friendly.

  A lovely place for a family day out. The bouncy pillows and play areas were a big hit with our five year old and everything was tidy and well maintained.... read more There was so much to do and so much space that nothing felt crowded even though it was busy.
The animals seemed well cared for by enthusiastic and friendly staff.
We were impressed with the range and quality of options in the cafe, especially for gluten free food.

  We visited today 2nd August 2022. With our 2 year old grandson. We all loved the whole experience. Friendly attentive staff and the the animals are well fed and looked... read more after. Excellent facilities and good food in the cafe. The barrel ride was a big hit along with the little train.
Would definitely return. Thank you

  Very clean and tidy farm, with happy, healthy-looking animals. Kids had a great time. The sheep
cuddling was a big hit! A well run operation.

  We had a lovely day out to Monks Park Farm with our 18 month old grandson. We had not visited before however it was clear how much work the new... read more management have put in to the park. We started at the Petting Barn and enjoyed having the chance to feed the goats and pet the guinea pigs. There was a big hand washing station with a step for children. We then went to the play park and there was a big variety of things to play on to suit a range of children. The little train ride next to the play park was great fun! We saw other animals, including the horses getting groomed and the member of staff took the time to speak to our son about what she was doing to the horse which was really kind. We went back up to the Petting Barn in time for the bottle feeding session and it was a brilliant experience to have the chance to feed the lambs and kids. The cafe was nice and had a selection of food for reasonable prices. We finished the visit with another trip to see the guinea pigs and we also went to the gift shop which had a lovely range of things for children, again which were reasonably priced. We will definitely visit again in the future as you can see the ongoing work that’s taking place to make the park even better!

  Great day out. Staff were very friendly and information about what was happening and when was clear.
Facilities were clean and loved that water was warm in petting barn -... read more so knew hands were clean but not burning hands.
Prices were reasonable and there were plenty of areas to sit outside.
Lots to do and various family pricing options - number of adults and children, could go with friends to get a better deal.

  Large expansive grounds that are well maintained and accessible for wheel chairs and buggies. Good range of animals to observe and feed and even pet whilst learning about them. Plenty... read more of activities to keep old and young entertained. Space for picnics and a large cafe with a great range of food and drinks at reasonable prices. Large car park and sufficient rest rooms and plenty of hand washing places. Really lovely staff who are helpful and friendly and do everything to help you have a great day out. Times for different activities clearly identified and a good range of things to do. Where else can you cuddle a sheep, bounce on a lama pillow, ride in a barrel behind a tractor and feed goats and Guinea pigs! A great day out.

  This was our 3rd visit in 3 years, for Lesley and I it was Ellis's 2nd. The place just gets bigger and better. More area for... read more young animals in Petting Barn, and outdoor feeding areas. There is now a large play area for children of all ages ( up to 40 odd years) I noticed. This place is a must for school/ nursery trips, as children are very well catered for.
A decent sized and decent priced cafe is also on site.
Lovely long walks through wooded area and a new pond area under construction.
Well done to the owners.

  We went here with our 2 years old daughter, she loved it! Especially the animal petting and the giant sand pit.
Nice coffee available on site and plenty of space... read more to go for a walk.
The only negative for us, was the lack of toilet availability. I took my daughter to the toilet and in the mens there was only 1 cubicle (in use) and the baby change which is seperate, was also in use...which resulted in a change of clothes (for my daughter)
That aside, we would defo go again!

  It’s a joy to visit Monk Park Farm now and see the animals in such good health with plenty of hay etc. The bouncy cushions are a brilliant new addition,... read more and the kids loved the train ride too. It’s such a fun day out and you can spend all day there. We love the big sandpit, I like that you can see the kids in the whole park while sat at the picnic benches. The drive in to the farm has also been sorted and it makes such a difference as you drive in! Overall it’s a lovely, clean place to visit and they really seem to care about the animals which is the most important thing. The afternoon tea that we got from the café for the jubilee event was delicious!

  Our first visit since the new owners took over and wow, we were so impressed. The park has been completely transformed. Spotlessly clean, loads of new additions, friendly staff. We... read more had a great day. Highly recommend for families with children of all ages, there is something for everyone

  First visited this farm 2 years ago as we were coming out of lockdown and restrictions and was impressed. Today we made the trip from Hull again, a trip of... read more an hour and a half and was again glad we did. There have been some additions to the park and they really improve the farm. It’s a lovely little farm with very friendly staff. It being Jubilee weekend all the staff were dressed in royal costumes and “The Queen “ was wandering around greeting the children which went down well.
They have also got themselves a little takeaway drinks trailer which helped ease the queues for drinks, something that definitely needed doing.
All in all a very reasonably priced farm in lovely well kept grounds with friendly staff. I’d definitely not hesitate to say take the little ones for some fun

  Well what can we say.. “best birthday party of the century” quoted from a parent at our daughter 5th birthday party last weekend.

Monk Park Farm staff were... read more amazing, attentive and so helpful. We had 38 children and not to mention 50plus parents attend our daughters party which was very daunting however, Hayley and her team went above and beyond to make the whole experience pleasurable.

They totally understood the age range of the children from 1-10yrs and created an itinerary which meant no child was waiting a long time between the planned activities. The children alternated between the train rides and air pillows then the barrel rides and petting barn. They even gave us the opportunity for our whole party to bottle feed the baby lambs and goats.

The lunch was great. As we had so many children we decided to have Hot Dogs and picnic bags suggested by the team) which made it easier to manage rather than a buffet. They also provided the party bags and allowed us to pick them up early so we could add a few more treats to each bag making it more personalised.

Whilst we were there we also purchased the annual family ticket which Hayley kindly presented to our daughter which meant the world to her and made her feel extra special.

The visit to the ice cream parlour at the end wrapped up the day off perfectly. Once our party was over, the families were allowed to stay and explore the rest of the farm at their leisure which was very kind.

This was the very first child’s party we had planned and it was so much fun for us all. Our daughter said “it was my best birthday I have ever had!” Which means a lot after have two birthday in lockdown and not really being able to celebrate it previously how we wanted.

Thank you so much to the team for all your efforts.
