Hall Hill Farm - Durham

What an amazing place! There is so much to do, you can feed the animals, hold the rabbits, guinea pigs & baby chick's and there are tractor rides, play areas, parks, and onsite café. My little one had so much fun he didn't want to leave! Thank you for a wonderful day 💗

A great place for kids and parents to learn about the animal world. This is great for kids. I'd plan on 2 hours, 4 with kids.

They have a cafe so you can get a bite.

This is a notch above most farms for kids.

What an amazing day! This is such an amazing place for family’s to come to. If you love animals and being out in the outdoors then you will love it here. The natural scenery around the farm is beautiful, the staff are fantastic and the animals are lovely. Plenty of opportunities to pet and feed animals and to witness other stuff such as sheep racing and pumpkin carving.
Me and my family absolutely loved it here, highly recommend

Absolutely fantastic farm experience for the kids, well worth spending a few hours here. There is a cafe, also plenty of picnic tables. The kids loved interacting with all of the animals, and we're so excited to find the huge play area too. Staff were all so friendly and helpful, felt like a place were everybody enjoys their job. Would definitely come again when in the area.

Absolutely great family day out! Lots of things to do for everyone. Having some change is ideal but not essential as you can buy tickets for the rides upon arrival or you can go back once everyone has decided what they want to go on and pay by card at the reception. There's some great animals handling sessions which my boys loved. There is a fabulous park and a barn for eating picnics or bought food as well as a lot of outdoor eating spaces.
I would say they have really considered accessibility with wheelchair users very much considered. One of our party was a wheelchair user and there's was only the tube slide which he couldn't access. We were led to believe this is still in testing but our physically disabled guest could not go on unaccompanied as he would need adult support to use the ride but this was denied.
I would say staffing needs to be more in control of their rides in particular the tube slide as kids were just queue jumping leaving little ones to stand and wait while bigger kids pushed through. I would say the sledge run also needs to be supervised for exactly the same thing. I would advise parents stay with their children until they access the ride to ensure no pushing in.
Overall our day was great, only minor issues but no one was bored even adults were well entertained. Keep an eye out for the llamas/alpacas as they were in the romancing mood the day of our visit and we had some interesting questions to answer.

My daughter said it was the best of all the animal farms we have visited (she loves animals, so it's quite a few!), she loves being able to interact with the animals, feeding the lamb, bags of animal fed and petting the animals.
She would visit every day (but it's a bit of a commute from Ireland!)
My mum was able to walk around with ease (a bit wobbly on the feet!), all the animals were my daughters favorite and she enjoyed the activities. We'll be back, for now she'll just catch up on Facebook! 😂

Great way to spend the day with kids. The farm is reasonably large, has great choice of farm animal. The standard entry price includes animal feeding, bottle feeding, you can stroke rabbits, guinea pigs and chicks. Really nice and interactive experiance. There also a soft play area and multiple outside play areas for kids. Definitely worth a visit as you can spend the whole day there.

Loved the visit here. Me and the Mrs visited as she was gifted a wee coo adoption that prompted the visit when we were back in the UK visiting family. Can only imagine visiting with kids or grandkids would be such a great family experience.
Place to eat, buy souvenirs, let the kids play and of course visit the animals (avoid the pig pen if you just ate :o)).
Views are stunning - weather was fantastic EO July.
