We normally head to Blaze Farm, Wildboarclough when seeking farm based entertainment for our toddler. After a recommendation we headed for Tatton Park Farm.

Entrance was £4.50 per car plus £4.50 per adult, £2.50 per child which starts to add up so we anticipated something quite good for our money. However we were rather dissapointed to discover that once we had seen the donkeys, a small handful of sheep, hens, one rabbit, a couple of horses and some pigs that was it. Few of the animals were easy to experience for a toddler, either behind too high a gate or too far away.

We were left after 45 minutes wanting much more and wished we had gone to Blaze Farm which has more variety of livestock and is FREE!

There was no information about the animals, the set up was disjointed and unclear and facilities lacking. The pottery was a ramshackled affair not enough room to safely take a child and hazardous too.

Tatton Park Farm has a lot to learn from far better establishents.

If you are in Cumbria Walby Farm Park sets a high benchmark to compare against, I can strongly recommend. It's not cheap but well worth the money rain or shine.
