    Took my 1 year old and nearly 3 year old. Went during the week didn't have to q for anything wasn't busy at all was lovely. Girls really enjoyed feeding all the animals and looking at the frogs and small animals. The staff are really lovely nothing ever was to much trouble. My daughter had a go on the low ropes the staff there were really nice. Lots of different types of park area ( diggers, swings, tractors etc). Soft play was nice and quiet and my nearly 3 Yr old could go on the older things we spent a lot of long time her my younger one had a great time on the smaller soft play area. Everywhere was clean and tidy and actively seen staff cleaning areas.

    We visited with our 10m old daughter and my parents. We wanted to visit somewhere close by with animals as staying at Cheddar Woods. This was only a 20min drive so ideally located. We loved everything about this place! Our daughter was intrigued by all the animals especially the goats and the parrots! Lots of variety of animals, all seemed well looked after and well cared for ❤ Plenty of space, good COVID-19 protection along with lots of benches dotted about for a picnic so very easy to socially distance. We loved the miniature train and we even had a blast on the bumper boats ourselves (even the parents have gotta have a bit of fun right!) Well priced as lots of the rides included. A great day out for all the family. Highly recommended!

    Good value for money especially compared to places like Longleat… Loads to do for all ages of children up to about mid teens. Restaurant perfectly adequate for location, staff really helpful! In fact all older staff good, some seasonal younger staff not really up to the mark and allowing wrong ‘size’ kids in some areas. However special praise for the train driver, nothing was too much trouble for him and the lady in charge of the peddelos who was great. Bad points: Toilets not enough locations Maps - no printed maps on site, you have to use the download and the resolution is bad making the map next to useless. Inside play barn - impossible to monitor children in the equipment, I feel it’s not a safe environment.

    Really nice family park to visit. Mixes fun with education really well. Great if you have a young family. Give yourself plenty of time to enjoy the park. We spent the afternoon there and feel like we could of done more. The park seems like it is investing in equipment as well. Well worth the visit.

    Love love love this place. We had an amazing time! (My 3 girls did too 😁)I conquered my fear of heights doing the high ropes!! We loved the high speed tractor ride... all of 10 mph! We enjoyed the unicorns and of course the many other animals and things to enjoy! But the beat part was.... we booked for my daughters party for the week before, but my car broke down. Absolutely devastated we couldn't make it, so I called and explained what had happened and they were so good that they moved our day. For this I wish I could give 10 stars! Customer services and the team were lovely, smiley and willing to help!

    . A good place for kids to interact with farm animals, my kids had a lot of fun feeding them. The kids enjoyed riding the tractor and small train, and there was a good variety of food available.

    A wonderful day out for all the family! We’ve been to many similar parks around the south of England, and Puxton is one of the best. It’s got plenty going on for all to see - but is compact enough that you don’t end up feeling like you’ve walked 3 marathons by the end of the day! We’d strongly recommend keeping an eye on the timings for animal events and other goings-on through the day, as some (especially the interactive animal show etc) were real successes with the kids. The only big downside would be cover - on a hot day (like when we went), there is little shade. While there are a few places here and there, the park could do with more little awnings or canvas overhangs to give people a place to cool off. Food was good - a nice number of choices and in many cases kept very simple which was again a big win for the kids. Finally, the farm shop at the end was a refreshing change; not just the usual gift shop selling toys and trinkets (albeit that was there!) - but plenty of really great, healthy fresh farm food.

    It has a cafe, restaurant, farm where you can see animals like goats, Cows, meerkats and a porcupine. Not to mention the bouncy cushion, crazy golf and many wonderful attractions you can enjoy. I would definitely recommend this play for younger children because they would enjoy everything.

    Favorite place to come as its only a 5 minute drive away from home. My son absolutely loves coming here, especially to see the cows! Nice and clean, food at the cafe is good too. Animals look well looked after

    Had a wonderful day after an impromptu visit at Puxton Park. Great spaces to explore and offer in terms of animals, play parks and activities / rides. The Meadows restaurant was clean, good portion sizes for a good price. The staff on the activities and animal talks were just great. Our four and a half year old loved it, especially the high ropes course. In todays climate, we would say it was good value for money for an all day outing.

    Puxton Park is a brilliant day out. We went with children from babies - 9 yr olds and there was something for everyone. We spent well over 6hrs here exploring and playing. The best bit is that your entry fee covers just about everything in the park including most rides, train ride, soft play etc. unlike similar venues that try and rip you off at every turn. Bluelight holders are offered discounted entry too. We'll be back!

  • 5/5 Vivien B. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely family place to visit. Lots to do and see. Great for kids , especially being around a working farm. Being able to watch cows being milked and feeding lots of other animals. They also do shows where you can meet and touch some of the more unusual animals. Lots of fun things to do . They also have a lovely farm shop selling produce from the farm and even a, Take Away Milk Shake machine, which was so nice. We had a great day out.

    We had a lovely day out here with my parents, husband and one-year-old, with lots to keep us entertained. There were lots of activities and play areas that we couldn't use yet of course - but hopefully will be back when she is older (and taller!). Really enjoyed seeing the cows being milked, watching the meerkats, meeting some of the small animals in the animal encounters, getting nibbled by sheep and calves and feeding the goats. There was a separate area in the soft play for under 3s which my little one enjoyed and was big enough for me to squeeze round with her. The restaurant on site was delicious, and the farm shop had such a good selection of toys, games, books, food, clothes, cuddly toys and lots more.

    Great to see all of the animals lots for kids to do too. Meadows restaurant served us cold food and my husbands portion of chips and chicken curry was more for a child than adult so would take my own picnic next time!

    went during Easter half term, steady but not too busy. Great for younger kids although there is some elements like the high ropes that are more suited to the older children. Enjoyable day out, also offering military discount. Lovely to see and pet the baby calfs only a few days old. Loveky farm shop too

    Great day out at Puxton Park to celebrate a birthday. Lots of things to do with short queuing times everyone really enjoyed it. Crazy golf clubs could do with replacing and a couple of rides OOO but other than that, an excellent day out and well worth the money.

  • 5/5 SEAN T. 1 year ago on Google
    A modestly sized, family-orientated park close to junction 21 of the M5. Puxton Park is a working dairy farm with a selection of indoor and outdoor pens housing traditional farm animals, as well as exotics. As well as the animals, there is plenty to keep the family occupied, including a theatre that hosts talks on the animals, plenty of rides for kids (including dinosaur park, boats, crazy golf, indoor slides, softplay, etc.), arts and crafts room, cafe and site shop.

  • 5/5 Ellie B. 9 months ago on Google
    Lovely park, lots to see and do and the staff were so lovely and helpful. The train driver even stopped to take a photo for each family bless him!

  • 4/5 Daniele P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience! We have been there for your 5th birthday of our little one and he fully enjoyed! This was our first time and definitely not the last one. There are so many things and activities that you can do. It's the perfect place to spend a day with your family! We had lunch in their restaurant and didn't fancy it....food is below average. If adults rates would be more honest, they would have received 5 stars. But we found out that the fees for parents are quite high, also considering that adult are not allowed on many activities. We still recommend a visit if you haven't been there yet!

  • 5/5 Les A. 8 months ago on Google
    We were on our way to Western Super Mare and the weather was overcast I saw the sign for Puxton and decided to give it a go as we had our grandchildren. We had a grand day out which the children enjoyed. We had lunch in meadow cafe which was reasonably priced and had good food. The Crazy Golf was great fun but needs a little TLC.

  • 5/5 C D. 9 months ago on Google
    We are annual members. The best decision we have made. Great park always so much to do. Easy to book! We always have so much fun! Food is great in the meadow cafe & on a Sunday you can get a roast dinner 🤤! Farm shop is always beautifully presented. The staff at the park are always smiley and accommodating. Oh and the meet and greet of the animals is always the kids favourite part. Thanks puxton!

  • 5/5 Caroline D. 7 months ago on Google
    Plenty of various activities for our almost 6 & 8 year olds, great educational farming/animal care parts & then loads of rides/ play areas - most included & only a few that took £1 or tokens. You need a whole day there to get the best out of it, my kids only went in the indoor softplay for about 10 mins at the end as they had been outdoors all day, which I much prefer! Very friendly helpful staff in each place & they gave us tokens when the ride swallowed our cash.

    Family of 4 we all had a great time lots to do. Great feeding the animals and can get up close to all of them. Great rides and play facilities for the kids and had a round of crazy golf too. All things inside included in entry cost. Will definitely go again!!

  • 5/5 marissa w. 1 year ago on Google
    Was a good place to take the kids in short notice they had a lovely time and spent the afternoon see animals , playing in the soft play area. Since last been there definitely changed for the best.

  • 4/5 Charlotte R. 2 years ago on Google
    This park will be amazing when my girl is a few years older but today she loved the fab soft play area and petting the sheep who were lovely with her. She's 10m at the mo but highly recommend espe for older children

  • 5/5 Craig J. 2 years ago on Google
    First time at Puxton Park and was pleasantly surprised, it was a lot bigger than I imagined and the animal barn was great, it was a very busy day but didn't feel overcrowded. Only grip is lack of seating at some of the outdoor activities but will be definitely returning with more grandkids.

  • 4/5 Caroline W. 2 years ago on Google
    A really great day out for the kids, and some breathing space for the adults! Indoor playarea was good they played and I had a nice cup of tea!

  • 4/5 Shane A. 2 years ago on Google
    Been here a few times now. Not far off the M5. Lots to do. Indoor and outdoor play areas, own farm shop, food, bumper boats, train ride, animals and more.

  • 5/5 Charlotte C. 2 years ago on Google
    Having not been to Puxton since my youngest was in a pushchair, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. When they were little, we went specifically for the soft play area, but now at fourteen and nearly twenty (!) we thought it would be nice to make a return visit and spend the afternoon looking at some animals... bit of 'animal therapy', if you like : ) The park itself has expanded massively over the years. We even commented on how different the driveway was... as in the trees, bushes and greenery had all grown and matured, whereas previously it seemed a lot more open (this is a positive, by the way. It looked/looks/felt lovely). There seemed to be more animals from what I can remember. The Reindeer are beautiful, as are the Alpacas, but we couldn't seem to see any pigs... though perhaps they'd been moved and we were just unlucky. There is now an indoor area which houses spiders, snakes and THE cutest little monkeys, and my personal favourite... 'Derek's Barn' (presumably named after Weston's own, and the founder, Derek Mead) which houses the beautiful cow's in the milking parlour, where you can take a walk around and even get to see 'the maternity suite', where quite frankly (and without wanting to sound ignorant) I had no idea that's how big a pregnant cow got... she was absolutely HUGE (think King Kong, in cow form) ;) We had a really lovely afternoon, we laughed and smiled the entire time we were there. I would say it does perhaps aim itself at the younger family, as in 95% of it is aimed at children between the ages of 3-11? but if you like a leisurely wander around whilst looking at, stroking and feeding some very beautiful and friendly animals, you can easily spend a good few hours here... if you're a young family with young kids, easily the whole day! We finished our afternoon with coffee and cake in the onsite restaurant, and bought a few goodies to take home from the farm shop. All in all a pleasant day.

  • 5/5 Rebecca W. 9 months ago on Google
    First time here and loved it. The park is well laid out and everything was accessable. You can buy animal feed for £1 per bag and all pens were clearly labelled if you could feed that particular animal. Hand wash stations around to clean hands after feeding or touching the animals. Great day out.

  • 5/5 umer f. 1 year ago on Google
    Extremely good experience, great fun activities included in one ticket. Farm, feeding animals, lots of learning for kids, maze, bouncing balloon, indoor play area, ropes climbing for toddlers and bigger kids, lots of fun packed in a day. Worth it

  • 5/5 Jackie S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great day out with my grandsons. It's lovely to see the animals out in their fields . The tractor ride was great, they took us to the cow shed, we got to see the maternity wing. Later in the afternoon we went to see the cows being milked, that's a smell I won't forget in a rush lol. It was a great experience for the boys to actually see where the milk comes from, not just on a supermarket shelf. You can buy feed to feed some of the animals from reception. They recommend washing your hands after touching the animals, so there's lot's of places to do that, also sanitising stations too. It started to rain in the afternoon, so we went into the indoor play area which have some amazing steep slides, us big kids get to play on them too. They also have a farm shop. There's like a vending machine outside where you can buy milk and milk shakes, which were reasonably priced. My grandsons had a chocolate milkshake, which cost £1.50 each, I bought a 1ltr bottle of milk, the bottle cost £2, then £1.20 to fill it. It was like drinking ice cream, I've never tasted such creamy milk, it was awesome

  • 5/5 Theresa C. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely time kids loved it , cost a bit more to get in this time but once in all the rides and games are included as no cash taken anywhere all card payment. You can take your own picnic if you like just have to eat outside, benches and tables are available for this.

  • 5/5 Chris B. 1 year ago on Google
    We came here for a day out today, with a 7 and 9 year old, and overall we’re very impressed. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We did the majority of the activities and that included the high rope course - which was included in the ticket price and our girls really enjoyed - the staff here were brilliant and helped our younger girl navigate the course and build her confidence. We had lunch and both the coffee and food were both lovely and good value. The indoor play area was also amazing - if slightly bad on my knees as I got dragged around it by my girls! Perhaps the only downside is that a few activities need a bit of some TLC - the Mini Golf course was fun to play however needs a clean and some maintenance. Loved to see they make cheese onsite as well - who doesn’t love cheese?! Really enjoyed our day out - will certainly be back!

  • 5/5 Gina B. 10 months ago on Google
    Lovely little place with a mixture of animals and activities! Ideal for all ages and the indoor soft play has lots of things for the adventurous!!!

  • 5/5 Sandra E. 10 months ago on Google
    I used to bring my nephew here when he was young, he's 22 now! And I brought my kids here when they were younger too, having had a break from this place for approx 4/5 years I have been back about 5 times since! 😂 My children are 9 and 11 It is a great place, a good day out and plenty to see and do! It's been great revisiting this place from taking my nephew and returning with my own children - predominantly the same with a few changes and tweaks - they have the formula right for both little and big kids Blue Light card discount I will keep returning, why not?! With kids of course!

  • 5/5 Richard W. 10 months ago on Google
    Brilliant park, went there for Father’s Day & dad’s went in for free!! Fair play to the park for doing this, these little gestures make all the difference and just goes to show that not all companies are out for themselves. Food was great, animals were brilliant. Just an all round fantastic day
