Days Out...

Stockley Farm, Cheshire

Today Aum and I drove to Stockley Farm in Cheshire. We got there for half eleven and looked around the animal shed to begin with. There were goats, calves, chickens, adorable piglets and an amazing Highland Cow called Lulu. There was also a Pets Corner where Aum got to stroke a rabbit and a goat, and they had a hedgehog, chinchilla, degus and a polecat!

Then we headed over to the barn where we bottle fed some goats which was sweet, and we bumped into Aum's friend Conor from school which kept him entertained.

We had taken a packed lunch so ate that next, and then I got a cup of tea and millionaire shortbread whilst Aum played on the outdoor play park, which had an aerial runway that he loved.

When I finally dragged him away we went to see the rest of the animals - horses, birds of prey and cows. He had a ride of an electronic digger in the sandpit, and then played on the indoor play area for what seemed like ages (I was freezing as it was only inside a barn!) - there was a bouncy castle/ assault course and a hay bale fort where you could climb up and jump off the walls.

I managed to grab him off at half three and we drove home, super tired and very muddy, but I was really impressed at the facilities and amount to do for the money you pay (entry for us both was £16.50). I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for something to occupy the kids, especially if there is a variety of ages as there really is something to entertain everyone!
