This was our 3rd visit in 3 years, for Lesley and I it was Ellis's 2nd. The place just gets bigger and better. More area for... read more young animals in Petting Barn, and outdoor feeding areas. There is now a large play area for children of all ages ( up to 40 odd years) I noticed. This place is a must for school/ nursery trips, as children are very well catered for.
A decent sized and decent priced cafe is also on site.
Lovely long walks through wooded area and a new pond area under construction.
Well done to the owners.

  We went here with our 2 years old daughter, she loved it! Especially the animal petting and the giant sand pit.
Nice coffee available on site and plenty of space... read more to go for a walk.
The only negative for us, was the lack of toilet availability. I took my daughter to the toilet and in the mens there was only 1 cubicle (in use) and the baby change which is seperate, was also in use...which resulted in a change of clothes (for my daughter)
That aside, we would defo go again!

  It’s a joy to visit Monk Park Farm now and see the animals in such good health with plenty of hay etc. The bouncy cushions are a brilliant new addition,... read more and the kids loved the train ride too. It’s such a fun day out and you can spend all day there. We love the big sandpit, I like that you can see the kids in the whole park while sat at the picnic benches. The drive in to the farm has also been sorted and it makes such a difference as you drive in! Overall it’s a lovely, clean place to visit and they really seem to care about the animals which is the most important thing. The afternoon tea that we got from the café for the jubilee event was delicious!

  Our first visit since the new owners took over and wow, we were so impressed. The park has been completely transformed. Spotlessly clean, loads of new additions, friendly staff. We... read more had a great day. Highly recommend for families with children of all ages, there is something for everyone

  First visited this farm 2 years ago as we were coming out of lockdown and restrictions and was impressed. Today we made the trip from Hull again, a trip of... read more an hour and a half and was again glad we did. There have been some additions to the park and they really improve the farm. It’s a lovely little farm with very friendly staff. It being Jubilee weekend all the staff were dressed in royal costumes and “The Queen “ was wandering around greeting the children which went down well.
They have also got themselves a little takeaway drinks trailer which helped ease the queues for drinks, something that definitely needed doing.
All in all a very reasonably priced farm in lovely well kept grounds with friendly staff. I’d definitely not hesitate to say take the little ones for some fun

  Well what can we say.. “best birthday party of the century” quoted from a parent at our daughter 5th birthday party last weekend.

Monk Park Farm staff were... read more amazing, attentive and so helpful. We had 38 children and not to mention 50plus parents attend our daughters party which was very daunting however, Hayley and her team went above and beyond to make the whole experience pleasurable.

They totally understood the age range of the children from 1-10yrs and created an itinerary which meant no child was waiting a long time between the planned activities. The children alternated between the train rides and air pillows then the barrel rides and petting barn. They even gave us the opportunity for our whole party to bottle feed the baby lambs and goats.

The lunch was great. As we had so many children we decided to have Hot Dogs and picnic bags suggested by the team) which made it easier to manage rather than a buffet. They also provided the party bags and allowed us to pick them up early so we could add a few more treats to each bag making it more personalised.

Whilst we were there we also purchased the annual family ticket which Hayley kindly presented to our daughter which meant the world to her and made her feel extra special.

The visit to the ice cream parlour at the end wrapped up the day off perfectly. Once our party was over, the families were allowed to stay and explore the rest of the farm at their leisure which was very kind.

This was the very first child’s party we had planned and it was so much fun for us all. Our daughter said “it was my best birthday I have ever had!” Which means a lot after have two birthday in lockdown and not really being able to celebrate it previously how we wanted.

Thank you so much to the team for all your efforts.

  From entering the park we were blown away by the beautiful safe space. Children aged from 2 1/2 to 8 all had fun. The lady in the refreshment... read more Van extremely friendly, lovely lady. Our 8 year old grandson had a slight accident and was looked after by a kind lady who also gave him an ice lolly. The little things make the big difference. Thank you

  Great day out. Could easily spend a full day. The new additions of the park equipment and railway are fab for little children. Cafe food was good too if you... read more don’t want to take a picnic.

  Visited Easter Saturday, was very busy, but a great day, loads for kiddies, parks feeding and petting all the animals

  We had a second trip to Monk Park Farm yesterday and it didn’t disappoint! The improvements are fantastic and the children so enjoyed. The staff are excellent and so friendly.... read more We think it is such good value for money and we will be back again!

  The children loved the petting barn, would have stayed in there all day. All the staff in there were lovely but Connie was amazing! So patient with my 2 grandchildren... read more (one visiting from Australia), she was so patient with them, they just loved chatting to her. The lovely lady working behind the counter in the cafe also deserves a mention. Didn't catch her name, hope she doesn't mind me saying but she was an older lady (but not as old as me). So helpful, friendly, she certainly made us want to visit the cafe again.

  We recently visited (x3 adults and x4 children ranging between 3 and 8 years). I had not been since it has been under new ownership and was expecting some great... read more changes after following them on social media. They haven't disappointed! They have really thought about how they can make it a day out rather than a few hours out. There is a new addition of a bouncing pillow and whilst we were there a larger one was also being made/put in by workmen. There's now an electric train ride for children to enjoy, the play areas have been updated in places, the sandpit has been given a much needed spruce up and the coin operated cars were so much fun. Whilst they are an additional £1, they lasted a fair while and the kids loved them! They have concreted a lot of the walkway now so it's even more wheelchair and pushchair friendly which is great! They pond area is under improvement and when it is finished I'm sure it will look great! Wherever we looked there was staff making improvements/doing jobs which was fantastic to see. The animals seemed well cared for and loved. We spent a good amount of time talking to a member of staff about the sheep and spent a considerable amount of time feeding the animals and stroking the guinea pigs! We also bottle fed the goat babies and it was lovely!

We decided that we would eat in the cafe on this occasion. We actually had brought the children a pack up but us adults all ordered a meal and drinks and hot chocolates for all the children. Whilst the food was lovely, the service in the cafe wasn't great and a couple of times we were brought orders that weren't ours and saw our own orders being given to other tables who were just as confused as us. Instead of asking others if it was their order it just vanished straight back into the kitchen and then we'd have the task of trying to get someone's attention. I think a lot of the issues came from the waiting staff not seeming to know the table numbers. We had to send back two orders as they were incomplete and we had to ask for another as it was forgotten. When it arrived it wasn't very hot so had obviously been sat in the kitchen forgotten about. I would blame it on how busy it was but truthfully, there were quite a number of empty tables!

We did feel that the outside area would benefit from a covered seating area for rainy days which it was when we went (very wet!) and that is why our children ate their pack up inside. We were a little disappointed that we couldn't get close to the donkey. We paid for 3 of the children to go on the barrel ride (£2 each) which we actually think is a little steep, especially if you have more than one child to pay for, however, they absolutely loved it and the very kind member of staff even let our children stay on for another ride around (so in theory ours ended up costing us a £1 a ride due to his kindness), this really made the kids day! Please be aware that if you are bothered by rain then this isn't the place for you on a rainy day, however, we are mums of boys and so are now hardened to the bad weather and this really didn't hinder their fun! Just be aware that the tractor ride and train ride can't operate in bad weather. We were fortunate that we caught the train before the weather really turned! We will be back on a brighter day raring to go on a tractor ride!

There is a little gift shop which sells the usual stuff you would expect and there's also lovely ice cream and ice lollies. In warmer weather it would be nice to see an ice cream cart in the play area so that people don't need to queue in the tiny space of the shop. We had a great time and can see how the improvements are still being made! We will be back!

  Absolutely brilliant day out and very much enjoyed by my children. Very reasonable prices, lovely staff and animals very well cared for. We would definitely recommend this as a fab... read more place for a full day out.

Their favourite place was the guinea pigs and goat barn. Thank you to the lady in the pen for her patience with the children at feeding time - they loved it. Outside - the Llama pillow was a big hit and also the electric cars. They went on the train and barrel rides and we did the woodland walk looking at the different animals. Everywhere was so clean and tidy (a big improvement on last time we visited) and Hayley and the team at reception were lovely. Thank you for a great day.

  Visited in April with two young daughters and their grandma.
My wife and daughters have visited in the past - under previous owners and commented it was nice but scruffy... read more back then. Now - no such negativity.
We all loved it.
Well organised, clean, tidy and great staff. We’ll informed, happy and helpful staff really add to this experience and we loved it.
Highlights: barrel ride, bouncing goat thing, railway, feeding baby goatskids, burger and chips.
It was noticeable that they’ve spent money as new owners and it works.
