L. S.
Fabulous place even though the farm is closed due to covid the excellent set up by the cafe owners means you can still enjoy good food whilst enjoying the lovely late summer sun. Great additional parking and play things for the kids, even the big ones. Totally worth visiting.

It is amazing to have a farm in the city, specially it is very interesting for the kids. Every time my daughter takes some grass from ground and give them to animals. Also there is a play area for the kids too, which is busy on weekends. There is nice walking area nearby which you can see airplanes landing. Overall I recommend.
L. R.
I love this place, every time I come to the playground with my daughter, we visit the farm. The place may not be big, but with a small child it is a great experience. You can buy hot and cold drinks and eat a delicious breakfast. I highly recommend it especially for people with children.
S.
Wonderful little farm! Suitable for all ages with lots of animals to see up close and a lovely playground for children. Will definitely be visiting again and again.
O. C.
Animals are very friendly and clean! Really! Chicken, pig and cow came to say HELLO!☺
Highly recomended to visit! And it's free of charge. There is a tea room and toilets.
R. I.
Definitely a must for young kids
Lovely farm area with animals, a playground and plenty of grassed areas for picnics
H. D.
Go here every year. Absolutely a fabulous place to go to. Friendly staff. Beautiful animals. Fantastic play area for children. Also if you take a little walk you are at the back of the airport and can watch the planes.
A. H.
Well worth the visit! Have a little walk and see the planes landing and taking off!
J. O.
Very nice well kept kids and adults love it
Y. K.
Nice and peaceful. I want with my 13 year old son to do some plane spotting, which was great because you have a very good view and seating of runway 15/33. The park is nice with some lovely trees, stream, mini golf, farm,footy pitches with free car parking and a play area adjacent to the car park. I will be going back to explore the woodlands of the park, play some golf and more plane spotting. So a great park to relax,enjoy some cycling and great for dog walkers .
D. H.
Nice for the kids but it's very small but the cows were really cute.
J. B.
Nice place for the kids and it's free + plqyground. 2 days ago a baby cow was born ,so cute
S. W.
Lovely please. Exceptionally well kept and animals are looked after. Beautiful surroundings. Lovely cafe to stop for a while. You can buy feed for the animals and wild food for the wild birds ( and there are many wild birds). It's a place where you can have a lovely walk as well.
R. P.
Great for kids. Lots of animals to see for free !! Lots of space to let the kids run and play. Only a short walk across the country park to view the planes at the airport. Toilets at the farm along with a tearoom (closed on our visit).
P. B.
Perfect place for city kids to meet farm animals. You'll find here pigs, ducks, chicken and roosters, guinea pigs, cows and turkeys (although they were hiding on our visit).
There are signs and descriptions posted about them so you can learn a bit about the specific breed.
There's a sizable carpark and a well equipped playground next to the entrance, both available well after closing time of the farm, so you can wrap up your day before heading home.
L. M.
Great community run farm. Good selection of farm animals. The calf was a couple of days old and just gorgeous! There's a cafe there but they are very strict on who can sit in the room there. Toilets there but out of order today. Lots of parking, all wheelchair accessible and great for kids
T. P.
Nice little farm to visit with the family. Nice little day out especially if you get god weather. The airport runway is only a short walk too. Great place to watch the A380 take off.
J. L.
Lovely little farm. Staff look after the animals really well. My son loved spending a couple of hours there.got a bouncy castle and lovely grounds. Good play area for the kids 2.
Z. P.
Lots of space to let the children run around. A well maintained play area. It's free to walk around the farm and see the animals. There's a coffee shop that sells drinks and snacks at reasonable prices. A lovely day out for children.
K. G.
Brilliant for a low cost morning out with the kids. Play area next door, lots of grassland for running with low flying planes taking off then the animals and cheap tea rooms. Helpful volunteers and changing facilities. Highly recommend it, please leave a little donation if you can♥️
A. T.
Spent an amazing afternoon with the kids, nice stroll in the countryside, watched the planes take off, kids loved the wild blackberries and nice range of farm animals to view. Couldn't go inside the farm as yet but could view most of the animals
J. T.
There is lovely walks with hard surfaces, my son often walks our dogs there and also you can stop at the end of the B.ham Airfield runway , which is all fenced off for safety, but there are quite a few benches. There is also a good play area, farm animals and a nice cafe.
R. M.
Very nice place to visit with the family, nice little farm to feed the animals, also massive field for the kids to run about, also if you walk about half mile up the field you come across a picnic area witch is right at the end of Birmingham Airport runway.
M. A.
Beautiful little farm park. Cheap day out. Parking is free, entry is free. And the canteen is quite cheap. If you want to view planes taking off , that's only 20 minutes walk away.
S. M.
Lovely farm located by a large park.
G. B.
Having lived in Sheldon for over 30 years, growing up having the farm right at my back door Has given me and my family some wonderful memories, this really is a community farm. They are very welcoming and have lovely events for children throughout the year.
m. k.
Lovely park/farm. We went on a rainy day yet saw horses, cows, donkeys, sheep and ducks and the kids played in the park area. Nicely maintained
N. P. (. B.
Came here last week nice day out if you walk for about 10 mins you end up at the back of birmingham airport and watch the planes either come in landing or taking off depend on which way on the day. Plus whilst watching the planes theres some benches to sit on . If no empty benches plenty of grass to sit on . Nice little farm to walk round and see the animals . Nice little cafe on site aswell . Toilets are clean and tidy . Got a little ice cream bar on the end of the car park before you walk into farm . Good play area for kids to play . Only downside was car park needs to be maken bigger as idiots ad parked where you was meant to turn to leave the car park .
H. S.
A small lovely farm. Honestly it's about 20 minutes to see everything, they used to sell food in containers to feed the animals but its not always there. People bring their own vegetables but I don't think that is actually allowed. There is a cafe which sells the usual. I bring my own picnic for the seating area on a enclosed field with trees and a mud kitchen. Don't expect to be entertained but I bring a packed lunch see the animals and go to the park for a hours run around for the kids. Some walk through Sheldon Park for 15 minutes to see the planes landing which might be of interest to your kids too.
A. B.
Such a lovely place to spend time with the little ones on a sunny day, highly recommeded. A few farm animals and park area with swings. Cute little cafe with delicious home made cakes. Good choice of snax, icecreams and hot/cold drinks. Always friendly staff. Seating area outside. Will be back soon.
L. F.
Very pleasant beautiful day cows in the field with calfs but cafe was all shut so unable to get any takeaway ice creams which would have made the visit a lot nicer probably due to lockdown as cafes aren't open but they could do takeaway
E. P.
Brilliant staff at the corner of Birmingham, they have a restaurant and toilets... I didn't see much of the farm because l was working with a certain client group who has challenging behaviour. I saw cows, geese, chickens and rabbits. Iam hoping to visit again soon and l will update this review.
L. M.
The tea shop ladies are working so hard to deliver a good service during this difficult period. They do so with a smile and cheerful disposition and serve up good, very well priced food. Thank you for your hard work x
M. A.
The renovations make it so much nicer! Picnic area, tea room, animals, playground and WC. Would you recommend for a shirt trip out or walk. Park at Marston Green station, walk past the airport and see the planes before stopping at the farm. Nice day out.
D. H.
I love this place. It's free, its lovely and well cared for. They have a selection of farm animals and horses and the kids love it there's a park and viewing area for the air port up the hill. Can be a lovely day out.
N. Y.
Perfect for the family and kids. The animals are well looked after and are happy to be out. They are not scared of human presence. Great amount of free parking and free enterance.
H. R.
It's a nice little park and farm,with a little cafe selling food ice cream coffees etc u cant take any dogs in the farm or tea room area. The car park is very small. For the amount of people there
M. (. F. T.
Carpark was just extended, nice playground, 3 picnic tables, some cows and horses in the fields, and if u walk up for about 15min you can watch planes take off or land from up close. Amazing!
F. K.
Great small farm to entertain toddlers. Range of animals at the farm.. keep busy for 30mins. Also attached is a playground area. Can also see planes overhead from bhx airport landing and taking off.
M. C.
Such lazy people if they can't walk 200 yards to park their car outside a recognised car park why are they going to ever walk around such a wonderful country park .
As for the Park itself please all you plebs please keep going to the likes of Hatton Country World and paying such astronomical prices it will make our experience when we return even more pleasurable.
We shouldn't extol the virtues of this wonderful paradise, so as to keep these secret treasures available to the chosen few. But it would be wrong not to show our gratitude to the Friends of the park, we can't wait to return
R. L.
Granddaughters loved it seeing the animals playing on the park even though it was cold they had to have ice cream from the shop great for the kids and its free to go in xx
S.
Beautiful place nice place for long walks and see the planes also a nice farm with horses Ponies and goats and cows and chickens, play area for the kids and ice-cream and a cafe that serves tea you can also buy animal feed for the farm animals five stars for a lovely family day out and at literally no cost.
S. J.
Really nice staff there and the farm animals when they are young are nothing but cute and if you like watching the local wild life there is some birds that hang around the general area
J. B.
