Old MacDonald's Farm & Fun Park - Brentwood

We had visited yesterday in the afternoon thinking it would be super crowded because of bank holiday. But I have found it super spacious. My 2 and a half year daughter loved it. It's like her imaginations looking at the screen came true. The train guy was soo nice and lively, which makes my daughter to take the ride twice. Toilets were all cleaned and well maintained. Easter egg hunt was fun. Overall the experience was worth visiting with the toddler.

I took my 2 year old son here for the first time.

It's not a cheap entry price. Having arrived at opening time, none of the rides or exhibits had opened yet. Even most of the animals didn't make an appearance, though that was probably just bad luck for us. This left my son bouncing from paid ride to paid ride, none of which accepted card payments, and I didn't have change. That hour was pretty bleak, and I wished I'd gone to the zoo.

Eventually, when the rides opened and the animals made an appearance, we had a great time. There's a lot there, queues were never too long, and my son had a brilliant time.

Biggest downside? The food. It is dire. I paid £20 for nuggets and chips and a sausage in a bun. I wouldn't have fed it to the dog, so it went in the bin.

Verdict: Go. 6 great for young kids. Bring pound coins if you're arriving early, and definitely bring a packed lunch. Do not, under any circumstances, buy food there.

Took my 2 year old here monday and despite the weather being a little drizzly I was so surprised by how much stuff there was to do. He especially loved the horse ride and train ride. The conductor of the train was brilliant, so enthusiastic and made sure everybody got pictures taking on the train ride and was really engaging with us all. Would definitely come back. There's so many play areas also, we spent hours here.

Had a lovely day here during the February half term. We love seeing the animals, and the rides are obviously a great bonus for the kids. We especially love the carousels, rollercoaster and the maze.
Food is delicious, although not cheap it's worth the money. There's also plenty of picnic tables to bring your own food.
Plenty of parking (although not everyone parks considerately!)
Toilets are clean as is the cafe/seating area. Would highly recommend for a great day out.

We had a great day at the farm, even my 10 month old enjoyed it especially the sand digging area. As it was first week day to be open and a school day, it wasn't busy so we enjoyed it even more. The rides and animals to see are varied, there's lots going on. My 5 year old also loved the soft play area. Facilities were clean and maintained. The toilets were not disgusting which is a huge deal for us. We were so fortunate to get great weather for the last day of March. We would visit again !

Another McDonald's would do very well here. But the old McDonald does have an excellent farm, e i, e i, o. On this farm he has a toy shop, soft play, ice cream parlour, fair ground rides, small animal petting rooms, BBQ restaurant, sheeps, pigs, a creep of tortoise, cows, lots of people mid afternoon, otters, dear and so many other things you should just go and find out, especially if you have kids aged 2-7. Just try not to sing the famous song while you're there.

Had a great day with my two grandsons (stayed 6 1/2 hours and don’t know where the time went!). Lots to see and do - we still didn't cover everything!
Food and drinks were good (apart from not being able to get a decaf coffee) but a bit over-priced.
Would definitely return 👍

Luckily, we visited during a week day (school day), and it was a Q time. Managed to see and do all the activities with no queues whatsoever! My 2 year old loved this place with so much space to explore and run around.
Cons: feeding 'slide' some of them were clogged up. One ride wasn't operational.
