Old MacDonald's Farm & Fun Park - Brentwood

Fantastic day out with toddlers. If you can on a weekday in term time you can go on all the rides multiple times as practically no queues! The set up is also very walkable with animals and rides and playgrounds interspersed ergonomically. They have a great variety of animals who seem happy and healthy. It's a little pricey, but it feels worth it to give money to a nice farm. I wish their food options were healthier - especially the snacks (having some fruit on offer for the kids would be helpful!)

Incredible place
Got there at 10:30am and received an informative welcome from reception
I was happily surprised that it was not very busy .
I was apprehensive about how many rides my daughter who is nearly two could go on
and yet out of everything available she only missed out on 5 attractions.
I love how detailed the park was and that there was just so many things to keep kids entertained for hours .
Cafe was really good with large portions of food that was not salty but full of flavour.
Staff loved interacting with the kids ,were really polite ,enthusiastic and took pride in their jobs.
Overall
Very very good value for the money and 100% worth it
Will be definitely visiting again hopefully with a party of family members.

We had visited yesterday in the afternoon thinking it would be super crowded because of bank holiday. But I have found it super spacious. My 2 and a half year daughter loved it. It's like her imaginations looking at the screen came true. The train guy was soo nice and lively, which makes my daughter to take the ride twice. Toilets were all cleaned and well maintained. Easter egg hunt was fun. Overall the experience was worth visiting with the toddler.

For the price this is actually a lovely place. I was going to go around that area with my 4 year old daughter and looked for soft play areas nearby. This showed up on Google maps and gave it a go. I was very pleasantly surprised. The farm has animals, rides, soft play, food, ice-cream on a hot day, cold coffee and even a sand pit!

Took my 2 year old here monday and despite the weather being a little drizzly I was so surprised by how much stuff there was to do. He especially loved the horse ride and train ride. The conductor of the train was brilliant, so enthusiastic and made sure everybody got pictures taking on the train ride and was really engaging with us all. Would definitely come back. There's so many play areas also, we spent hours here.

I took my 2 year old son here for the first time.

It's not a cheap entry price. Having arrived at opening time, none of the rides or exhibits had opened yet. Even most of the animals didn't make an appearance, though that was probably just bad luck for us. This left my son bouncing from paid ride to paid ride, none of which accepted card payments, and I didn't have change. That hour was pretty bleak, and I wished I'd gone to the zoo.

Eventually, when the rides opened and the animals made an appearance, we had a great time. There's a lot there, queues were never too long, and my son had a brilliant time.

Biggest downside? The food. It is dire. I paid £20 for nuggets and chips and a sausage in a bun. I wouldn't have fed it to the dog, so it went in the bin.

Verdict: Go. 6 great for young kids. Bring pound coins if you're arriving early, and definitely bring a packed lunch. Do not, under any circumstances, buy food there.

So what's good is young kids will love it overall. It's very much an unmanned place and you walk and go on things by yourself or pay for expensive machines to do fair style games or climbing frames/parks/soft play. Splash zone is very disappointing - hardly has anything. More of a drip zone.

There's very few animals to see but I don't think that's what they're focus is and even ones that are meant to be there weren't around. There were a few rides that required staff but only one lady available making it very difficult for her and for us to enjoy the quieter day we went as were still waiting more than expected.

I think young kids would still enjoy as my toddlers did but I wouldn't recommend for slightly older.

Bought tickets online for a £2 savings but also got charged £1.50 booking fee 😂 Not the best saving.

Had a lovely day here during the February half term. We love seeing the animals, and the rides are obviously a great bonus for the kids. We especially love the carousels, rollercoaster and the maze.
Food is delicious, although not cheap it's worth the money. There's also plenty of picnic tables to bring your own food.
Plenty of parking (although not everyone parks considerately!)
Toilets are clean as is the cafe/seating area. Would highly recommend for a great day out.
