A Fun Day Out at Odds Farm
For education and fun there's no better place to visit than Odds Farm Park and, as we are a registered Rare Breed Centre, children can see British farm animals as rare as the Giant Panda.
Many children will be seeing, smelling and hearing farm animals for the first time - an experience we all want them to have in a safe and secure environment.
"New Dedicated Animal Feeding Areas"
In our 17 year history, visitor, animal and staff safety has always been our main priority. Following recent E-Coli outbreaks elsewhere in the UK, we have reviewed our operations to make Odds Farm Park even safer.
The main area for change is direct animal contact. The animals are on display as always, but we are introducing dedicated animal feeding areas, inside and out, giving visitors the choice to enjoy animal feeding or to simply by-pass the hands-on zones if they wish to.
Everyone can still participate in the numerous animal demonstrations as before, with picnic & play areas remaining animal free. Please note that we have also changed our pricing policy to include one free adult with every five paying children to help you with supervision.
We are very happy to provide more information on the new improvements we have made and can also supply a copy of the HSE 'Advice to Teachers' Supplement, Information Sheet AIS23.

We reckon it’s a great place to bring a group of young children. So much so that, if you have not been to the farm before, we would like to invite you to come along and check us out, free of charge. All we ask is that you present some form of school identification.
"Organised and Extremely Helpful"
Did you know that we limit the number of school children each day? It is simply to ensure we avoid overcrowding and can provide the quality of visit that we advertise. That's why we urge you to book well in advance to get the day you want and to avoid disappointment.
"Thank You for a Wonderful Day Out"
If you would like to talk to someone to find out more, or to check availability, please call us on 01628 520188 and we will get you sorted.
