What an amazing place. Best farm I've ever been to. Loads of animals to see and so much bigger than I thought it was going to be. Staff are really friendly. Animals are well looked after and the place is immaculate. Wish I knew about this place sooner. Will definitely be back.

We had a lovely time at an open day on 15th August with our 11 month old daughter and friends.

On arrival, we were greeted by children having a lovely time on pedalos to our right, and a bustling shop on the left, from which we could buy drinks, alpaca wool, honey, and ice creams.

We began our visit by seeing a porcupine and the pelicans (one of which came out of the water and stood near enough on my foot, to my daughter's delight), before seeing tortoises and monkeys, meerkats, armadillos, and so much more. The tamarins seemed particularly interested in my daughter and came right up to the glass and prodded at her, which gave us all a wonderful view of them. All the animals seemed happy and relaxed.

The centre of the farm is a large, picturesque lake, and people were sitting around it relaxing. The farm itself is accessible by walking through the stunning Cassiobury Park or along the canal path, so there is much to be enjoyed by the way of nature.

It seems a shame that this attraction is not often open as it is a lovely place to walk and relax as well as enjoy the animals.

A really nice day out. There are a lot of things to do and see. You can feed the animals and some can be petted, they are very gentle. There is a stall with farm produce and the eggs were really nice. Why 4? Not the best map, probably not updated. Some of the enclosures seem to little for the animals they house. There was a burger stall, but the burgers were pre-grilled so not the best taste. The lady taking orders wasn't cut out for taking orders so the que was long because she wasn't able to remember any orders. Some of the prices we on the high side. I review these places taking in consideration my kid's reaction too, hence 4 not 3 stars. She absolutely loved it.

Went today for one of the very rare open days, I don't understand why they can not open more often, they get people out and also help small businesses. Its a lovely little find with some great animals. Would like more information about the place itself but for what they provide is great. Maybe hard work for buggies and wheelchairs but is manageable. Maybe a few extra washing facilities near the animals you feed.

I will always love this farm! Because it’s only open a handful of times a year and because it’s not in the most obvious of places it makes you feel like you’re in some sort of secret society and I love it. I love the fact you can buy feed for 50p and feed a great number of the animals in the farm yard. I also love the number of exotic animals they have for a farm in watford. They have raccoons, artic foxes and my favourites Capybara which is odd for a small farm in a city. I will continue to go to this farm every year for at least one of there open days and highly recommend it to anyone, old, young, family, couples, with young children and without. Everyone will love it.

Been meaning to to come here for a while. Very nice morning. There was a bouncy castle, coffee, facepaints and craft stalls. They do have a cafe however didn't go in there.

They have a limited amount of spaces per open day so it didn't feel crowded or packed.

Interesting amount of animals. You could feed some of them. Staff were lovely.

No car parking onsite however I do believe you can give them a ring if disabled and book a place. Check the website for that though

A surprising gem in watford!

Went with my grandaughter and had a great day, went in the cafe had coffee and a sandwich ( but only a small choice of food available) but there is another place there that you can buy hot food. The shop is lovely very African themed. Overall a very nice day out. We booked the disabled bay so was able to park right in the farm but if you are arriving by car make sure you arrive after 10am when gates are open as I got there early and there was 2 cars waiting to go in but the gates were locked so we were cramped together and there was people queuing with children all round my car, also the small lane is very small lol just enough to get through it's a bit of a hectic journey but once through the gates it's all good
