Tapnell Farm Park - Yarmouth

Brilliant farm park, we attended as two families of four with children ages between 1 and 8 and everyone enjoyed. Animal keepers were very friendly and knowledgeable. There was lots to do, which really made the visit worth the money!

A great place to bring the kids of all ages.
The staff were very helpful and accommodating.
upon arrival the staff member suggested what parts of the farm to go to first upon hearing our son's interests she was friendly knowledgeable and put my son at ease as he was a bit overwhelmed with everything.
There is plenty of seating throughout where you can take children to quieter areas if needed.
Ample toilets dotted around the farm which was nice.
Parking wasn't an issue.

An absolutely amazing place, we went as a random visit in isle of wight and wow blew us away. The amount of stuff that's super kid friendly is amazing and animals to feed as well.

Went mid week end of season, so a bit cold and blowy with a few bits closed for maintenance, so next year will probably visit again in the warmer months. Lots to do even with half of the place shut down, so can only see this being a full 5 stars when everything is up and running. If you have little ones...they WILL sleep well after a day here (and yes..even when mostly shut, you can easily fill a day here 👍🏻). There's even a few kiddy things to bring out the inner child of most adults (the pedal trikes are particularly fun).

So much to do here for children. Animals to see, reptiles and spiders/insects also. Play barn, another indoor play area, outside play equipment such a trim trail, air pillows, zip wire, beat the goalie style football area, shoot hoops, trampolines, pedal go karts and more. Cafe reasonably priced.

In addition there are extras on site you can pay for. Archery, axe throwing (both depends on minimum age) plus football golf and an amazing aquamarine area. These are probably best booked in advance.

In the farm you can also pay for a meet the animals sessions, best booked in advance also I would imagine.

A great day out.

Tapnell Farm is a must-visit destination on the Island. We stayed in one of their onsite cabins during October half term so got to enjoy their Halloween activities - activities are the name of the game here. It’s aimed squarely at families and those with young families in particular will love it. A supercharged farm.

This was a first visit to Tapnell Farm having been a regular to the Isle of Wight for 15 years. It was also useful to scout this out as a potential venue for my class when we visit next year on our week away.

We only booked for the Farm Park but Tapnell has a lot of other activities such as axe throwing, archery, football golf and an aqua park. These are all at additional cost and can be booked separately to the actual Farm Park.

Once inside, it became quickly apparent that the animals were secondary to the range of activities on offer. That said, there were enough farm animals plus others to keep the children interested and the indoor section with rabbits, guinea pigs, mice and reptiles/bugs was excellent. My children also really enjoyed the wallaby walkthrough which was fab.

Other things that kept us busy for well over half the day and included in the ticket were mini golf, swings, obstacle courses, zip wires, inflatable pillows, trampolines, a 'beach', pedal carts and a Shaun the Sheep race competition. Zorbs were also available on the day but these were an extra cost too.

All in all, this place was excellent for my two children aged 3 and 5 and would probably entertain them up until 8 or 9. But beyond this I felt older children would possibly find it a little tame and as such would not suit my Year 6 class. The football golf and aqua park would perhaps be a better choice of activity for them.

Great place for kids. Loads to do for all ages. Plenty of indoor stuff if tgd weather is not good. Few eating places.
