We were lucky to be invited to visit the National Forest Adventure Farm in Burton-on-Trent earlier this week.
We found the park pretty easily after travelling up on the M42 and the A38. Lucky as it was my first long trip in a few years.
We started the day with a tractor ride around the farm, we had to spot the scarecrows along the way. The Littlies found this really exciting, but I do believe it was OH who was shouting out ‘Scarcrow’ the loudest.
The Littlies were excited to go to the playground so we headed over and they were straight into the sand pit. They then tried the bouncy castle slide, the Jumping Pillow, the Water Splash and the Mini Assault Course. We came back later for a go on the Go Karts and the Little Man was playing Beat The Goalie. A great time was had by all, even Star was able to join in with a few of the activites. We let her in the Water Splash while it was quiet (only us) even though she’s not supposed to get wet.
A big favourite was the Quad Barrel Ride, where they rode around a mini maze in big barrels.

Looks like a great place. I don't realise there was a new Julia Donaldson book out – must take a look. The scarecrow challenge looks good – I wander if they'll do it?! #countrykids 🙂
I've not read the book yet, but no doubt I will soon, my girls are getting a bit old for Julie Donaldson but me and the Little Man still have time to enjoy the books.
Looks like a fabulous day out for the entire family. Happy to hear you had a lovely time x
It was a lovely day and such a lovely place. Definitely more than just a farm.
Sounds and looks like you had a lovely day for your first long trip out fir a while. I really like the look of that maze 🙂
If I'm truly honest, I did get a little scared in the maze, I hate feeling lost. Next time I'll take a map 🙂
Looks like a great day out, we'd have loved to try this but had other plans in place. Will have to pop up one weekend #CountryKids
It's a shame you couldn't make it, it's really worth a visit.
The maize looks fantastic fun. The chance to make scarecrows is a great idea, something we've never tried. #countrykids
I'd like to make more scarecrows, they were lots of fun.
Looks like a great place to visit! The Scarecrows are fantastic! #countrykids
Looks like fun! I thought the guinea pig was on your foot then for a moment 😉
