    We had such a fun day here despite the weather. I didn’t know this place existed and expected just a small farm but it’s really big and has lots to see. We went during ‘toddler fest’ and there were different shows happening throughout the day so our little girl got to see a Ms Rachel impersonator which she loved. The biggest surprise was how everything was free once you were in (except food and the gift shop of course). But there were 2 rides and the shows were also free which was great. The staff were all really lovely and helpful it was a great day and we’ll definitely be going back on a day that the weather is much nicer.

    Santa experience was fantastic. I have been to many kids events and grottos and this was really good I was so impressed. This was well worth the money. The kids said its the best time they have ever seen santa. They are in love with the bears they made and devouring the gingerbread men that they decorated!

    This visit was a last minute plan because almost all the other places were booked up. And I am glad that we found a spot. Its a massive place with so much for kids to do. The place is well maintained, the animal seem well taken care of! The bouncy castle was a hit and the food was good. We spent just about half a day and kids still didn't want to go home! They have so much space that they can easily get a theme park going which would be great!

    Went for the first time and had a great day out. The kids fest was good, with a packed schedule with lots to do and see, like a magician, Marvel heroes or have a dance. The farm itself was clean and we followed a route that was spacious enough even when it got busy. The animals looked happy enough, even if half of them were asleep or hiding! It was the little things that my kids appreciated though; the tractor cars, the bubbles, the playgrounds. Even the £5.50 lunch boxes, with a sandwich and many snacks went down a treat! I would definitely attend if there was an event or festival again. My only gripe is that the kids pay the same as adults to get in, being £10 would be helpful. But as long as it goes towards the upkeep of the farm then its money well spent.

    Took my 3 year old son and 12 year old son to the Xmas experience. Was very impressed with the efforts made to make this a hit. While experience was brilliant start to finish and even entertained the eldest.

    Great place for kids and adults, animals, water play and sand (digging for dinosaurs). At kids fest they had bouncy castles, glitter face paints, building blocks in the big top, loads of music, animal feeding, foam party. Great day out for all. Food, ice cream and drinks available.

    Had a really good time at their Christmas event. Met Santa, decorated gingerbread and all led by some lovely elves. Our 2 year old didn’t understand everything but he had a really good time and came away with a lovely build a bear. I won’t pretend you can get away without further spending but we really enjoyed our sausage rolls and mulled wine and teddy bear outfit so I can’t complain! Can’t wait to come back and visit when it’s warmer

    Great find in the outer London countryside. Keeps kids up to ten years old entertained all day (10:00 - 16:00) with physical, recreational and quizzical activities including animal feeding demonstrations in which they can participate, a magic show, singing and dancing, bouncy castles and jumping areas, a few sand pits and climbing frames, foam party (bring a towel 'coz they'll be absolutely soaked) and a couple of fairground rides too. There's tables and seating for the parents as the kids (and adults) enjoy burgers, hotdogs and ice creams as well as plenty of space to have a picnic on the grass.

    Great for young children. Visited with Mt 3 children aged 10, 6 and under 1year old. Suprised I had to pay for the baby but all had a good day out for little money. Not alot on the park but with kids fest the foam machiene made the day.

    Great halloween experience at Lee Valley, friendly and welcoming staff, we got the chance to see and do everything. Animals are well taken care of and have nice little free perks that were unexpected. The mini golf was a nice touch. Highly recommend, great for kids all ages! Thank you for a brilliant experience

👍 Great place to come for walks and a bit of history. The Abbey was dissolved in 1540. It was the last monastic house in England to be surrendered to the Crown. Although, you can still see 14th century gatehouse and bridge that remains, as well as the walls of the post-medieval house that was built...
