Our Top Tips for Your Visit
Want to make the absolute most of your day? Here are our favourite insider tips for visiting National Forest Adventure Farm:
- Arrive early – Gates open at 10am. Getting there for opening means shorter queues for tractor rides and the Mega Slide Mountain before the crowds build up.
- Book online in advance – It’s the best way to secure the lowest price and avoid any disappointment if a date sells out during busy event periods.
- Grab the Mega Slide wristband – If your kids are going to love the slide (and they will), the £5 unlimited wristband is much better value than paying £1 per ride.

- Eat early or late – Food outlets get busy around midday. Aim to have lunch before 12pm or after 1:30pm for a much more relaxed experience.
- Dress for the outdoors – There’s plenty of outdoor space to explore, so waterproof layers and sturdy footwear are a smart choice, especially in spring!
