"Absolutly amazing day at Lower Deayton today. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful, particular shout out to Liam in the veg patch today. A lovely young lad that was great with the kids and really showed what a great team they've got there. We even got to meet farmer Rich in the field as he was on the tractor turning the potato's for us to pick. Great to have a chat and it's so clear that he loves what he does. Kim in the cafe was amazing as well and she's got a great team with her.
We went as 2 families of 4 and there is just so much to do even on a cool November day, the kids didn't want to leave!"

"Had a really good day here! Lots of things to do and see from a tractor trailer ride to jumping pillows. The reptile talk show was good, the three hosting it were very nice and informative about the reptiles. The small animals were very cute, especially the ducklings. You can ask to pet the small animals such as the rabbits. The soft play is HUGE and so, so fun, it was in very clean and well kept condition, even the role play area seemed clean. There is a couple of good drop slides, the 2 in the drop slide area and one in the soft play. They have some other shows and experiences on, but we didn't attend those. Some very small areas were closed off as there was renovations going on there (or what seemed to be).
Hoping to come back soon to do their new maze, well worth the money. The onsite food places seemed reasonable priced, my partner had a brownie which he said was delicious. We did take our own food, but did get some snacks and drinks from there. Lovely little gift shop on the way out too."

Lovely staff, lots of parking too."
