Access Guide for Odds Farm Park

Introduction

Located just minutes from Junction 2 off the M40 near Beaconsfield, award-winning Odds Farm Park offers a high quality “hands on” fun and learning experience for all ages and abilities, including stacks of animal fun and indoor play. There are plenty of Hand Washing Facilities around the Farm. Click here to see a map of Odds Farm Park.

Odds Farm Park has indoor and outdoor areas and you should allow at least 3 hours for your visit. You can also enjoy Marmalades Tea Rooms, the Coffee Bar and Gift Shop, which offers a range of gifts and other items. These are all situated on the ground floor with step free access.

Please note that adult supervision is mandatory at Odds Farm Park and we really want you and your family to enjoy the Odds Farm Park experience together.

Whilst all children must be accompanied by an adult, likewise all adults must be accompanied by at least one other guest, either a child or another adult, unless prior arrangement has been agreed with Odds Farm Park. Therefore, single adults and unaccompanied children will not be permitted to enter the Farm.

For welfare reasons, we take most of our animals off the public paddocks for a few months every winter season, with most of our animals going into the Animal Barn on public display, although some may be out of sight due to indoor space limitations at this time. If you are coming to see certain animals in particular, please phone in advance as animals on show vary from time to time, especially during the colder months of the year. When you work with animals nothing can be guaranteed and we wouldn’t want to disappoint you.

There is one wheelchair available for hire, free of charge and we seek to be accessible to all visitors. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff are on hand should you require any assistance. We look forward to welcoming you.

If you have any queries, require any assistance or further access information, please phone 01628 520 188 or email main@oddsfarm.co.uk
