We had such an amazing time at Odds Farm this week. We’ve been a couple of times before but this is the first time that she’s been at the right age (she is just over 2) to absolutely LOVE it! There is so much to do at Odds Farm and they have a great mix of both animal experiences and play areas.
Animals on the farm
We kicked off our visit at the animal barn, which is home to rabbits, baby chicks, sheep and goats.
You can feed the sheep and goats and they sell the food for £1 a bag when you arrive at the farm. I was really surprised at how much she loved feeding them as on previous visits she couldn’t have cared less!
Outside of the barn there are absolutely loads more animals to see!
Play time
There are loads of play areas dotted all over the farm, from big adventure play frames to giant sand pits and obstacle courses. They vary in age ranges and the one we found best for toddlers was the main outdoor adventure play area near the entrance and the sand pit.
They have a great new attraction where you can drive round in miniature Land Rovers! Children have to be 3 or over to drive on their own but if they are younger you can go with them and do the driving. There’s an extra charge for this, £3 for one lap or £5 for two which you can pay for either at the catering van nearby or in cash at the ride itself.
For older children there is also a Go Karts ride, where they peddle round the track.
We absolutely love the indoor playbarn which is great for all ages as there’s also a separate baby area. My little ones especially love the giant slides.
The H20 water park is great in the summer too. It’s a bit different to a lot of splash parks as all the water is manually operated by the kids so it’s very interactive.
Tractor ride
We ended the day with a go on the Tractor and Trailor ride, which takes you up through the animal paddocks and includes a commentary on the animals and information on the farm itself. My little one is tractor mad so this was a huge hit!
Food
We didn’t eat there this time but there are plenty of food options to choose from at the Airstream Catering Van which serves things like burgers and hot dogs or Marmalades Tea Room.
Here’s a link to their main menu at Marmalades Tea Room.
Best bits: There are so many farm parks to choose from and they all vary massively in what they offer and the price to visit. What I love about Odds Farm is both the animal experiences and play areas are both equally great. There’s absolutely loads to do there making it a great place to visit again and again.
Worst bits: For children under 2 there’s not loads for them to do. The playgrounds are much more suited to toddlers and above, as for children any younger they only really have the swings and sandpit to play in. It is completely free for under 2’s though! They also don’t have the same level of entertainment or run shows like some other parks, however this is reflected in the price.
Cost: It costs £16.95 for both adults and children and free for under 2’s. They also do an annual membership option (which we now plan to do) so if you are local and plan to visit regularly it’s really worth doing this.
Pram friendly: Yes – completely pram friendly with buggy parks dotted around if you want to leave them whilst you do things like the animal barn or tractor ride.
Bike & scooter friendly: No
Location & parking: Not far from Junction 2 of the M40, near Beaconsfield and High Wycombe. Parking onsite is free and there’s plenty of it.
