Once in reception, we were greeted by a friendly staff member who talked us through the map and what different activities were running.

Growing in popularity the last few years, these giant trampolines embedded into the ground are so much fun for kids of all ages, my children love them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They then spent a happy twenty minutes running up and down the pillows, jumping and playing and as we\u2019d arrived quite early they pretty much had it to themselves too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The play park has a few different apparatus to use, although it feels that it&#8217;s designed more for younger children.So as my children are 9 and 11, they just had a quick go on the zip wire and the suspended rowing boats. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That was nice though, as I hadn\u2019t seen any of those in situ since being a child myself, so we had a fun time &#8211; showing the children how to pull the cords up and down to make them swing.\u00a0 There are also some digger machines you can pay to have a go on at the side of the playground.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"dh-space\" style=\"--dh-space:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"dh-row\"><div class=\"dh-col\"><h2 class=\"dowtk-heading\">Animals at Easton Farm Park<\/h2><div class=\"dowtk-blog-image dh-image\"><picture><img width=\"1080\" height=\"708\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/358805120_853757682979025_2031070847366281962_n-1080x708.jpg\" class=\"attachment-blog-16-9 size-blog-16-9\" alt=\"Goats Easton Farm Park\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/358805120_853757682979025_2031070847366281962_n-1080x708.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/358805120_853757682979025_2031070847366281962_n-20x12.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/picture><\/div><div class=\"dh-text\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We then moved onto the animals. There\u2019s a few different types to see, although there were also a few areas where the pens were empty when we visited so hopefully these will have inhabitants as the summer goes on. We went over to the goats first, who were all very keen to say hello, pushing each other out of the way to be fed. We also saw that we\u2019d actually arrived just at the end of a goat yoga session which looked like it had been a lot of fun.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Pony and Rabbits<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There was then an outbuilding with bunnies that my daughter adored and some pony\u2019s to see on the way in. There\u2019s a board as you go into the park that details the different activities going on throughout the day. These are all things you can do as a family that are included in the price, such as meeting the animals, pony grooming and Barrel Bug rides.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Barrel Bug Rides<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The barrel bug rides in particular looked very popular with little ones and was nice to watch and wave as it came past doing a lap of the park with the excited children on board. The trip was nice and short too, meaning although it was busy, families didn\u2019t need to wait long in the queue for a turn.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"dh-space\" style=\"--dh-space:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"dh-row\"><div class=\"dh-col\"><h2 class=\"dowtk-heading\">What food and drinks are available at Easton Farm Park?<\/h2><div class=\"dowtk-blog-image dh-image\"><picture><img width=\"1260\" height=\"708\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Farm-Cafe-1260x708.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-blog-16-9 size-blog-16-9\" alt=\"Easton Farm Cafe\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Farm-Cafe-1260x708.jpeg 1260w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Farm-Cafe-20x12.jpeg 20w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1260px) 100vw, 1260px\" \/><\/picture><\/div><div class=\"dh-text\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can eat while at the park with the choice of either bringing your own picnic or visiting their on site food options. There\u2019s an indoor cafe called The Willow Barn Caf\u00e9 serving lots of different home-made options. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s also a miniature soft play in the caf\u00e9 with a small slide, so fidgety toddlers and preschoolers will be kept entertained while waiting for their food to be served. We also saw an outside kiosk serving snacks and hot food that looked like a good option if you wanted something to eat on the go.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"dh-space\" style=\"--dh-space:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"dh-row\"><div class=\"dh-col\"><h2 class=\"dowtk-heading\">Is there a gift shop at Easton Farm Park?<\/h2><div class=\"dowtk-blog-image dh-image\"><picture><img width=\"1260\" height=\"708\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Gift-Shop-at-Easton-Farm-Park-1260x708.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-blog-16-9 size-blog-16-9\" alt=\"Gift Shop\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Gift-Shop-at-Easton-Farm-Park-1260x708.jpeg 1260w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Gift-Shop-at-Easton-Farm-Park-20x12.jpeg 20w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1260px) 100vw, 1260px\" \/><\/picture><\/div><div class=\"dh-text\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the way out, the park also has a well-stocked gift shop, full of different farm themed merchandise to choose from. The cuddly toys available were especially cute and myself and my daughter struggled but just managed not to take home our own cuddly cow toy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The farm is pretty compact. So, it makes either a great morning or afternoon out as a family. It is suited to younger children who love farm animals and having the freedom to run and play outside in the beautiful Suffolk countryside. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"dh-space\" style=\"--dh-space:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"dh-row\"><div class=\"dh-col\"><h2 class=\"dowtk-heading\">Stay Overnight at the Farm<\/h2><div class=\"dowtk-blog-image dh-image\"><picture><img width=\"1080\" height=\"708\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/357424389_3494817980774998_1162451913278279711_n-1080x708.jpg\" class=\"attachment-blog-16-9 size-blog-16-9\" alt=\"Glamping at Easton Farm Park\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/357424389_3494817980774998_1162451913278279711_n-1080x708.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/357424389_3494817980774998_1162451913278279711_n-20x12.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/picture><\/div><div class=\"dh-text\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something a bit different about Easton Farm park is that, as well as being an attraction that you can visit for the day, they have also created accommodation, so families can now stay at the venue too. This seems to be a popular option for families looking to have the ultimate countryside experience of staying in a farm overnight, and there\u2019s lots of different options to choose from.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can bring your own tent as they have a field with pitches from only \u00a330 a night with a a amenities block for campers to use including underfloor heating, family rooms with a bath and washing machines, or you can stay in one of their Victorian four star listed cottages on site that sleep up to ten people. If you fancy something a little bit different, there\u2019s also the quirky option of booking the night in one of their funky cow sheds to hire. All decorated in cow print with individual names, the prices for these start at \u00a3120 per night and they sleep between two to four people each.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"dh-space\" style=\"--dh-space:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"dh-row\"><div class=\"dh-col\"><div class=\"dowtk-blog-image dh-image\"><picture><img width=\"1260\" height=\"708\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Easton-Farm-1260x708.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-blog-16-9 size-blog-16-9\" alt=\"Easton Farm Park\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Easton-Farm-1260x708.jpeg 1260w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Easton-Farm-20x12.jpeg 20w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1260px) 100vw, 1260px\" \/><\/picture><\/div><div class=\"dh-text\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\">We hope you have enjoyed this review and can visit Easton Farm Park soon!
