EVERYONE loves a family day out, but let’s face it, everything is better when it’s free.
The much-loved Cotswold Farm Park run by Countryfile’s Adam Henson, has scooped up a Tripadvisor Traveller’s Choice Award for the last 15 years.
Follow The Sun’s award-winning travel team on Instagram and Tiktok for top holiday tips and inspiration @thesuntravel.
To celebrate, the attraction is offering free tickets to children, toddlers and babies.
The T&Cs are that it’s one complimentary ticket to each paying adult and or senior guest, and the offer is only running until the end of May.
Families can take advantage of the offer through May half-term and on the bank holiday (but make sure to book in advance).
The farm park is open seven days a week with plenty of activities to enjoy from feeding time with lambs and baby goats to jumping on its bouncy castle and trying out the zip wire.
When it comes to animals, visitors can get up close and personal with lots of breeds.
There’s Gillie the Jersey Cow, Marge the Middle White Pig, and Attenborough the Highland bull calf.
Feeding sessions with some of the youngest animals happen twice daily at 11.30AM and 3.30PM with lambs and baby goats.
There’s also a chance to watch chicks hatch as well as meet guinea pigs, rabbits and ducklings.
When it comes to playtime, children can head into the Adventure Barn – which is perfect for rainy days with didi cars and soft play.
Outside children can jump up and down on bouncy pillows, go on swings, zip wire, pedal tractors, explore the sandpit and climbing frame.
There’s a wooded area for bird-spotting and bee hive to take a look at too.
Between May 23 and May 31 the farm is celebrating Bee Wild Week with new activities like daily talks from the farm’s beekeeper-in-training.
When it’s time to eat, head to The Ox Shed Restaurant for all-day dining from breakfast to dinner, and pizza evenings every Saturday night.
Families from further afield can book to stay on-site at the campsites.
It has tent pitches to glamping tents, luxury lodges and new cabins.
A one-night stay on a grass tent pitch with electric starts from £67.
Head of Sun Travel (Digital) Caroline McGuire visited the farm park last year, she said: “Spring is easily the best time to visit any farm in the UK, as new lambs, chicks, calves and piglets all arrive noisily on the scene.
“Inside the Discovery Barn, which teaches children all about farm animals, my five-year-old son petted chicks and baby rabbits, and was lucky enough to see a lamb being born.
“We refuelled at the on-site Ox Shed restaurant, dining on burgers and loaded salads, washed down with apple juice and a glass of Adam Henson’s own pale ale for me.”
