    It is a lovely shopping farm 🚜🐄🌾 ideal for a weekend family 👪 outing. There are many things and activities for everyone. There are a lovely farm shop (prices are not admittedly not low), a garden centre with a lovely cafe and a kids play area. Large grounds for walking and having a picnic and several animals 🐵🐔🐶🐷 for the kids to watch around (see all photos attached). PYO (pick your own) available throughout the year (🍓, raspberries, 🌽). 🅿 Parking: There are plenty of free spaces available. Never had a problem. 🍲 Food: Food is average but their pizzas🍕 are highly recommended! 👷‍♀️Staff: They try hard to be smiley and helpful. It is usually a crowded place, therefore staff are busy as well. 📍Location: It is placed Southwest from Oxford. Easy access through A420, or A34 if you travel from North. 😉Extra tip: Enjoy feeding the 🦆 and swans and have a lovely view of the lake! (see video attached).

    Great place for a couple hours family outing. If you want to spend all day then I would recommend using their website to book. Most areas are wheelchair accessible here except for the woods. However, if you can manage one small step and your wheelchair is off-road then you can do the woods as well. Several areas to eat, farm, animal center, playbarn, garden shop, main shop, mini golf. They also have lots of programmed in fun all year such as the Maize Maze, various PYO seasons and lots of guest events so get yourself on the mailing list! For eating the food in the cafe attached to the garden centre is great! Actually, Both eating areas sell out really quickly so recommend going early. If you want to do any of the animal experiences you do have to plan properly and book. The book fare is also worth going to. Actually all their events and special markers are worth visiting.

    It had finally stopped raining for a bit and many of the animals have not returned after the Winter but took the dog for a walk with a difference around the grounds, which gave him some different mental stimulation for his birthday! I also got a chance to have a look around the garden centre and the outdoor clothing shop with him.

    Took grandchildren and they absolutely loved it as with previous visits. Got there early no issue parking. Nicely spread out things to keep everybody entertained. Skittles putting multiple mazes and much more. Could easily spend whole day there as picnic tables and restaurant. They continue to invest in venue with multiple new things to maintain interest. One of very few places to get 5 stars from me well done

    Visited for the Halloween night and it was fabulous. We had such a great night and didn’t expect that much. We had so much fun and were impressed by the entertainment. The trail in the forest was so well made and amazing. Will definitely come back again to explore more of the farm during daytime.

    Huge complex with lots of parking, there's a garden centre, farm shop, cafe, restaurant, mini golf, playground, independent stalls, pick your own, seasonal events etc. It's located opposite abingdon prep school, it's really popular so there may be a queue to enter and leave. The garden centre is decent with a large variety of stuff for sale, the farm shop is very good quality with various deli counters, lots of fresh fruit, veg, meats, cheese, prepared meals etc. The cafe, and farmhouse kitchen are really popular, but service is brisk, and food is decent quality but a little expensive but it is good. We had pizza in the farmhouse kitchen which was good but a little expensive for me. Coffee was average, nothing special, they had a good selection of cakes on offer which are good. Recommended.

    The Raccoon experience was amazing we got close to these wonderful creatures, they did things for their food like ring a bell and did little jumps. They took the food from our hands with they little paws and were just wonderful to be with. The keeper Alisa was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic she clearly loved these beautiful animals and her job. I encourage you to do this experience, you won't be disappointed or regret it.

    Great day out with loads to do and see, lovely restaurant with plenty of outside seating, we will be back

  • 5/5 Annette I. 10 months ago on Google
    Great day out for all ages. Pick your own strawberries/Raspberries, lots of small independent shops/stalls outside main buildings (which house garden centre and more shops). Small farm with lots of different farm animals to view and restaurants/Cafes when you need a break. Even a Falconry area. Easy to get to and parking is free. Really enjoyable day out

    I have actually been 3 times this week. 1 for a dog walk in the woods, it was beautiful and best of all it was free. My 1 year old walked along the pathway past the various animals which she loved, our doggy enjoyed seeing the animals, smelling new smells and enjoy the woods to explore. 2nd visit was for lunch in the garden centre cafe, food was tasty, but the jacket for me was watery. My cousin had a lovely fish salad which looked amazing. Great play area there for a children and water feature. 3rd visit was for golf, we will definitely be back here. Staff were lovely, courses were clean and no debris in the way. My 1 year old even got given a plastic Club to 'join in'!

    Great place for families with kids. Animals to look at garden center, wood (see pics). Also a car meet when we went, and a maise maze (but didn't check that out)..

  • 5/5 Siobhan W. 8 months ago on Google
    We walked around the animals where my bird daft little one was spotting all the different birds, including roosters, moorhens, and ducks. He also liked the Llamas and Ponys. He's too loud and wild, so we didn't make it into the Falconry. Went to the start of Pheobe's Woods where there was an art installation. We also spent time playing in the play park climbing, sliding and making sandcastles.

    What a beautiful place and perfect for taking the kids out to. All of the staff were very friendly, the shops had some pretty interesting stuff and the animals were wonderful. Parking was great but I didnt get to check out the toilets. Maybe next time though, I've heard incredible things.

    I received an photo experience day for the falconry at Millets farm. The day was overcast and damp, but it was brightened up by the falconer who ran the day. His knowledge of the birds and their habits was invaluable to getting some really good images. He clearly had his favourites and introduced us to a few he had trained from a young age. It was a thoroughly enjoyable time, leaving me with hundreds of images to sort through.

    This was a very friendly, fun event. Really nice happy atmosphere. The event organisers did a great job. I'd definitely recommend it if you can get there between now & Halloween. Pumpkins galore. The staff were amazing & joined in on some ad-hoc dancing ... brilliant

    We haven't been here in years. So pleased we returned today. Had a wonderful few hours here. Spotless, friendly, I cannot fault it. They do not charge car parking and main entrance fee which is so much appreciated too. We saw the falconry display which was amazing. Thank you we will be coming back! Liz, J, Zoe

  • 5/5 Patricia H. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely loved it here. The meerkats encounter was brilliant and the Falconry display was absolutely breathtaking. There was lots to do and see with many eateries. An artisan msrket was well worth a look around. You dont have to spend anything if you don't want to..take a picnic, plenty of areas to enjoy it.

  • 5/5 Emily T. 10 months ago on Google
    Millets is great for a day out - whether for adults or kids. Farm animals, zookeeping experience, birds of prey, soft play, garden centre, cafe, fairground rides and cafes. We visited the circus too! Plenty of parking. Gets very busy as it's a popular place.

  • 5/5 Lynne S. 9 months ago on Google
    Millets Farm is a wonderful place for everyone. PYO ( puck your own), 18 hole mini golf, adventure playground, soft play, birds and animals, restaurant, farm shop, maze and more. We just love it especially with the children but the “Ball, beer and burger nights are such fun too

  • 5/5 Naomi A. 9 months ago on Google
    Lovely place to visit, plenty of animals to see and a great farm shop. Lots of events which change throughout the year and they occasionally host guest shops in their courtyard area. Food and drink facilities are good. We know several people who use it as a midway place to meet up for a day.

  • 5/5 Linda H. 1 year ago on Google
    My daughter and husband did the bird of prey experience as a birthday treat. It was brilliant. Got to hold a large variety of birds in a beautiful setting. Staff were extremely knowledgeable and had a good sense of humour.

  • 5/5 Adam L. 2 years ago on Google
    Brilliant place to visit, could happily spend the day there. Fantastic bird displays, a farm shop, activities for kids and you can even feed the meerkats too!

  • 5/5 Penny R. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited here this weekend for a Meerkat experience with my adult daughter. We loved it. Meerkats are funny little critters and they love their food. The keeper was very knowledgeable and the animals treated with care. Apparently you can also book a reptile experience and a Racoon experience! Our ticket entry included watching Falconry demonstrations and access to all areas of the farm centre. The Falconry keeper was also knowledgeable and the birds were spectacular to watch. We had lunch in the restaurant which was really well laid out and organised. They had a several vegan items. Our food came out quickly and was very nice. We noticed that there is also lots also available if you have small children with you, even you aren't visiting for 'an experience'. Definitely recommended.

    Had a lovely day out here where I visited the falconry centre on site as well as the many shops and cafe. This is a lovely place and while I spent a good few hours here I still did not see everything. Will have to come back to see the rest and I am very excited to do so.

  • 5/5 Crista P. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a great place for a weekend outing. Apart from the brilliant farm shop and large garden centre, they have a lovely cafe and large grounds for walking. We also went for PYO several times, always good fun. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Al A. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place for the whole family to enjoy, from the garden centre, to the animals and a stroll around Phoebe's wood. Something here for everyone. Regular seasonal events too to keep an eye out for!

  • 5/5 Dila G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great for a family trip. Quality of the fruits we picked were wonderful on the top of the amazing farm shop they have. The whole complex is cleverly designed and very enjoyable for everyone.
