5 Best Children's Farms In Surrey

They're the county's two flagship farm parks and the honest answer is that either delivers the classic day: animal handling, feeding sessions, indoor play for when the weather breaks. Bocketts Farm edges the ratings among Surrey farms in our data. Godstone Farm has decades of loyalty on its side. If you can, let geography decide — they sit on different sides of the county, and shorter back-seat time beats marginal differences on site.

Both, deliberately. Hobbledown wraps its animals inside a themed adventure-play setting, with climbing and imaginative play carrying as much of the day as the animal encounters. That makes it the strongest pick for children who lose interest in animals after twenty minutes, and a weaker one if your child would happily spend the whole visit in the goat pen. It has indoor space too, which helps with the British sky.

In the run-up to Halloween, and briefly. Pumpkin Picking at Secretts and Pumpkin Picking at Crockford Bridge Farm are seasonal events layered onto working farms, open for a matter of weeks each autumn, often with timed entry on busy weekends. Both are outdoor experiences, so boots are essential kit. Outside that window, the year-round farm parks are where Surrey's animal days happen.
