Indoor play, outdoor adventure and animal encounters

National Forest Adventure Farm is a family-run attraction near Burton upon Trent that has been welcoming families since 2004. With acres of outdoor adventure, a huge indoor soft play area and a working animal barn, it's a genuine full-day-out destination whatever the weather.
Outside, there's a packed lineup of attractions included in your ticket. Tackle the famous Maize Maze, race friends around the twisting Farmular One Pedal Go-Kart track (with junior karts for smaller riders), bounce on the Jumping Pillows (including a dedicated pillow for under 8s), navigate the wooden Musical Maze to find hidden instruments, dig for dinosaur bones at Jurassic Canyon, play a round of Secret Garden Adventure Golf, and test your nerve on the Assault Course. Little builders will love the JCB Big Dig Zone, with pedal JCBs and a sand excavation pit. Round off your outdoor adventures with a ride on the Barrel Stampede or the classic 'Spot the Sheep' Tractor & Trailer Ride.
Thrill-seekers won't want to miss Mega Slide Mountain - the UK's longest outdoor tubing slide. Please note this is an additional charge (£1 per go or £5 for an unlimited wristband) and is open from Easter through to the end of the Summer Holidays. Riders must be over 107cm.
Indoors, the massive soft play area features three towering slides and a dedicated zone for younger children - brilliant for keeping the adventure going when the weather turns.
The Farmhouse Kitchen serves freshly cooked food daily using local produce, with vegetarian, vegan, halal and gluten-free options available. Prefer to bring your own? Picnic benches and covered areas are dotted around the site.
The farm opens seasonally across a calendar of events throughout the year - including the Summer spectacular Farmarama (18th July - 1st September 2026). Book online to save £2.50 per person compared with buying on arrival.
