We had the best day on Saturday, we started with a really lovely, good value breakfast in the cafe and a mooch around the gorgeous farm shop. Jack was our guide for the alpaca experience and was very knowledgeable and interesting, he obviously loves his job and that shows in his enthusiasm and love for the animals. All of the animals are well cared for by highly trained and professional staff, we had a wonderful time. Sheila the sheep was a highlight, I didn't know sheep could have such a personality! We will be back soon.

My daughter wanted a meerkat experience and I was surprised to find this place very near to me. I took my daughters and partners and my four grandchildren. It is only a small venue but ideal for little ones. Safe place to run and play and feed the animals. The staff absolutely make this place, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and happy to help they made our day and meerkat experience and I hope they appreciate just how good you all are. We then went to the cafe for Sunday lunch and again was blown away by the beautiful huge dinners and friendly staff, they all bought out the birthday cake and sang. Just a fabulous reasonably priced day out. Well worth a visit

Lovely place to visit with the kids. We spent around 2 hours in there - feeding animals and playing in the play area.
Chinno and Bishop ( the owls), the 2 cucktoos , the alpacas & the llamas, the goats, Shetland ponies (Daisy and her family) are the STARS!!!!! (Along with all the reptiles at the entrance)
We were able to feed the animals, pet the owls and groom and take the Shetland pony for a small stroll.
Everyone working in here are very friendly and very patient with all the questions the kids and myself had about the animals.
Kids loved it so much that my daughter has already re-booked a visit on her birthday!!!!
Thank you all there.

We visited the farm today for Easter! We were extremely impressed with the knowledge and friendliness of all the staff members, everyone offered to get my 3 year old involved. The farm is lovely and extremely well looked after. It’s lovely to see a farm where the animals are so obviously well cared for. We can’t wait to return on a warmer day🌟

Visited today spur of the moment with my two kids age 10 and 7. We visited similar time last year and were pleased to see changes and new animals added to the farm.

It’s a lovely place from the minute you arrive, friendly staff in the cabin who engage and chat with the children straight away. Every staff member we met were enthusiastic and knowledgeable about their animals, the positivity radiated through.

Wide variety of animals including the beautiful marmoset monkeys, meerkats and of course the alpacas.

We stayed just over 3hrs with a snack in the cafe. Kids didn’t want to leave and my daughter has now said when she grows up, she wants to work here 😆

What a lovely place! We visited today with our four year old and stayed for four hours. It looks small on arrival but there was so much to do. A great Easter programme throughout the day where my son could feed chickens, meet the reptiles, hold guinea pigs and feed the alpacas and llamas. All the animals/birds we saw were healthy in clean enclosures. The jumping pillow and play area were also great. Really friendly staff too. Will definitely return!

We did the Alpaca experience and spent time at the farm. Big shout out to Jamie who was fantastic - incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and made sure that we had the best time. He is a credit to the farm and after having a great time, I have recommended a trip down to friends and family.

Absolutely fantastic day. Myself and a colleague brought a young boy who is currently under Acorns Children’s Hospice. He has recently undergone radiotherapy, as a palliative care children’s nurse, making memories is something we are extremely compassionate about. Dan made it happen and Jamie was absolutely phenomenal. Jamie gave the young boy an experience of a lifetime. Nothing was too much and we are so very grateful for making today so special for him and his sister. Thank you

I won a meerkat competition on Facebook for a meerkat experience for two. The communication from Burntwood alpaca was second to none from the start and they swiftly organised a mutually convenient date for my son and I to visit.

On the day we were greeted by two lovely keepers who made a real fuss of my son and showed us to the meerkat enclosure. As soon as we were in there my son was a little anxious but the girls were so patient with him. The girls were full of knowledge about the meerkats and had so much passion and enthusiasm for all the animals it was so lovely to see. I remember one of their names as Holly.

By the end of the experience my son was sat on the floor feeding the meerkats and allowing them to come over and sit on us and that was largely down to how relaxed the girls were around the meerkats and my son.

Before we left, the keepers let us stroke a turtle and a tortoise and told us a few fun facts about reptiles and my son loved going home to tell his dad about what he had learnt.

Thank you so much for such a lovely experience and we can’t wait to visit again soon!

Nice place to get your kids close and personal with some non human animals, incidentally the humans at this place are pretty friendly too, best of all you get to hold some of the animals too, was a real mud bath when we went due to the rain so wear some wellington boots if it's rained recently, also they have a shop onsite with hot food setup if you need a snack, oh and the toilets are clean too, excellent all round, plenty to keep the kids occupied for a few hours

We planned a three generation boys' day outing and my son suggested visiting this Alpaca farm.
We parked on the wet grass, not realising there is hard standing parking through the gates. We were following the signs.
We enjoyed a wonderful day out, looking at the varied selection of farm animals and exotic species.
We purchased hot drinks and snacks from the cafe and sat close to a tractor, which my grandson enjoyed climbing on and off.
Afterwards, he wanted to visit the play area, which he enjoys visiting, whenever we are together. He also bounced on the bouncing pillow, a new favourite.
Using the slides, one note of caution, the end areas have been worn away, so children land either on mud or stones. Some bark chippings would make landing a little more comfortable and not require a change of clothing.
A great day out and definitely worthy of a return visit. There is plenty to see and entertain the children, of all abilities, warm, friendly staff on hand to help when needed and a well stocked cafe and food shop, selling locally produced foods.

We had the most amazing day learning about the various animals. Amy, Jack, Eloise, Jamie, Caleb...everyone was so enthusiastic and utterly brilliant… thank you for caring so patiently for all your much loved animals and for educating us all…x

Came here with my family went to the cafe and all the staff was rude.we asked for a table and they didn’t even look and said no we couldn’t eat here, we would have to eat outside due to having small children that needed a bit of shade away from the sun. Disappointed ended up leaving without having food. bad experience !

This is a lovely, very friendly place on the edge of Burntwood. We visited with our 9 year old granddaughter and she loved it. Kids get the chance to handle animals in very informative sessions (in our case bearded dragon and chameleon) Also hold an alpaca on a lead and a barn owl
Highly recommended and very good value for money
