Once you’ve arrived, you can stay for as long as you like, until Marsh Farm closes at 5pm. Most activities will finish at around 4pm/4.30pm, with last orders in the Playbarn Restaurant at 4pm.
Along with meeting our friendly farmyard animals, you can enjoy a fun-packed program.
Children can learn and grow in the role-play village, let out their energy on giant bouncy pillows, and run wild at the adventure play areas.
But that’s not all. Families can meet huge dinosaurs and enjoy state-of-the-art interactive games in a totally unique experience – Dinosaur Adventure – included with the standard ticket price.
And the fun doesn’t stop when the rain comes, thanks to an awesome indoor play area and café at the Playbarn!
