From pigs to polar bears the park is a centre of excellence for British rare breeds as well as camels, primates, tapir and crocodiles amongst other animals.
Fantastic day, we loved every minute, great place . Animals had plenty of room, which is really nice to see. My dream come true today seeing polar bears. They have so much room . The food was good and wasn't expensive. Highly recommend if your animals lovers. Loads of hand wash station and rest rooms. There are plenty of places for kids to play to. Can't wait to go back again.
Other than waiting for a parking space to become available it was a brilliant day. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit at Jimmy's Farm. The animals are well looked after and the staff looked really happy. We will definitely go there again. The food in the restaurant was very nice too.
Brilliant day out. We booked tickets the night before (very straight forward) and headed there for 10am. Easy to park and no queue to enter. As soon as you walked in, you could tell the animals were very well looked after, as was the farm itself. Personal favourite was the polar bears, they were mesmerising. The brown bear was also pretty special. Was PS58 for 2 adults and 1 child, and this was definitely worth it. Would definitely return.
Jimmy's Farm offers an enchanting escape from the everyday, blending the charm of a traditional farm with modern attractions that cater to all ages. From the moment you step onto the property, you're greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that feels both relaxing and invigorating. The farm boasts a delightful array of animals, providing visitors with the unique opportunity to get up close and personal with a variety of species. It's not just a place for children to learn and explore; adults will find themselves equally fascinated by the well-cared-for animals and the insightful information provided by the knowledgeable staff. In addition to the animal encounters, the farm features beautifully maintained gardens and walking trails, perfect for a leisurely stroll or a more adventurous exploration. The on-site restaurant serves delicious, farm-fresh meals that are a highlight of any visit. The menu emphasizes locally sourced ingredients, showcasing the farm's dedication to quality and sustainability. The farm shop is another gem, offering a selection of locally produced goods, from artisanal cheeses to handmade crafts. It's an excellent spot to pick up unique gifts or a little something special for yourself. Overall, Jimmy's Farm is a wonderful destination that combines education, entertainment, and a touch of rural charm. Whether you're looking for a family day out, a peaceful retreat, or simply a place to enjoy nature and good food, this farm delivers a memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a delightful and enriching visit!
Before we went I had in my mind it being a small farm with a few animals to see for the kids, completely wrong, it's massive, really well laid out all the animals have freedom in huge enclosures, a lot of the animals were always active and doing something. The staff were incredible, cannot fault them at all. Facilities all over the park too, never too far from a toilet or water/drink shop. Since going there I have not stopped recommending Jimmy's Farm to all my friends and work colleagues.
My wife and I went to Jimmy's Wildlife and Farm Park on Friday 23rd of August 2024, travelled for 3 hours 45 minutes from The Forest of Dean, absolutely worthwhile, we arrived 15 minutes before opening and left 10 minutes before closing. Our children are all grown up, but it was great to see so many youngsters playing and having fun, the giant pillow was packed with fun and laughter, as were the other play areas, there were plenty of grassed areas and picnic areas for sitting and eating. We got to see all the animals in superb surroundings, feeding some and interacting with those that we could. Managed to see Diego, The Brown Bear enjoying playing and swimming, the Arctic Wolves and Polar Bears getting excited at feeding time too, a truly amazing day, the staff were friendly and very approachable, the food and entry fee really good and affordable. Children invested in the talks, as were the adults. As country folks we can appreciate what all the staff have to do and in all weather's, it is amazing that many of these animals would have not had a life if they had not been relocated to Jimmy's Wildlife and Farm Park, it must be at a considerable cost, I take my hat off to Jimmy and ALL his team for making a great habitat, the world needs more like this to care for life that would otherwise not exist, remember these animals, the park, the staff, including veterinary costs, must be huge, and I am sure the park is constantly making changes for the better and looking to the future. We had an amazing day and will travel across the country to enjoy the experience again in the future. A huge THANKYOU to everyone at Jimmy's Wildlife and Farm Park, loved it from start to finish.
