Lambs at Odds Farm

With the summer here, the last of Odds Farm Park’s lambs have just been weaned from their mums and released into the field for the summer and are looking forward to meeting you on your family days out.

At this childrens farm, there are 6 different breeds of lambs to see including Balwens, Jacob, Castlemilk Moorit, Greyface Dartmoor, Whitefaced Woodland and Herdwicks. Now between 4 and 6 months old, the lambs no longer rely upon their mothers for milk but do still enjoy cheeky play; always enjoyable to watch on a day out with the kids.

Kids visiting Odds Farm Park on a family day out can also enjoy plenty of play themselves, either on the Go Karts, in the Adventure Maze, on the Outdoor Log Play Areas or at the Dipple Playing Field.

Bale Climb at Odds Farm

Bale Climb at Odds Farm

Kids on a family day out at Odds Farm Park have a new Bale Climb to scramble, clamber and crawl through.

Changing every 2 months, the latest Bale Climb contains over 35 very large bales of straw (so large in fact 2-3 people are required to roll one over!) and took 5 people about 3 hours to build with the help of two tractors.  There is a great art to building the Bale Climb, which is based within the childrens farm’s indoor Playbarn and we are glad to say youngsters are giving a big ‘thumbs up’ to the new layout.

Children playing within the Playbarn can also board Ride-On Toys and zoom down the Astra Side, wide enough for mums and dads to enjoy too on family days out. Alternatively, parents can take a well deserved break in the adjacent Playbarn Gallery, whilst your little ones continue to enjoy their day out on the soft play.

Odds Farm Park is a great venue for family days out and is located within easy reach from North London, West London, Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire. For more information to arrange a day out with the kids, visit the main childrens farm website, www.oddsfarm.co.uk

Chicks at Odds Farm
