The Ice Cream Farm is Cheshire's award-winning family attraction, home to indoor and outdoor play attractions; the world's largest ice cream parlour; Sticky Paws family-friendly restaurant; and the world's first Ice Cream Drive In. Access is just PS2.50, or free for babies under one. Once inside you have access to Daisy's Garden with its mini trampolines and magical ice cream tree; our facilities and free parking. Then only pay for where you play, or save with our Play Passes. We've got Strawberry Falls mini-golf; ride-on Land Rovers at Rocky Road; kids-size quad bikes at Silvercone; Europe's largest indoor sand and water play at Honeycomb Canyon; and the Fun Factory, an epic soft play centre designed for all ages. Come out to play!
Lovely place to visit with the kids. The kids loved it. So much to do. Toilets walking distance no matter where you go so no worries there. Even though we went in the summer, there were no long waits at all. Atmosphere great, staff really friendly. Ice cream tasted delicious. Would go again. 5/5
Lovely day trip to the Farm. It was busy when we arrived but when the heavens opened up people disappeared and by the end of the day there was minimum people. Decent car park and setup overall, we bought the 20 play card which is valid for 24 months which is ideal as we had 8 plays left over. It's mainly for the younger kids, I would say 10 and under. Massive range of ice cream flavors in the shop. Staff very friendly and pleasant throughout. Impressed how tidy and clean the toilets were specially with hundreds of kids using them. We also went to the drive in after leaving and what a great idea. Pull up to a board, scan and order and they bring your ice cream or milkshakes to your car in a buggy. Overall great experience and I would recommend.
Brilliant place for families and excellent value for money when buying the package together. We chose the package which allowed the children 10 plays on the rides (you can buy a card separately for PS15 for 5 plays which is valid for 2 years if you don't use all the credits on this visit or you can pay for an individual ride for PS4.50 but this worked out more expensive for us than paying upfront), entry to the Farm, an ice cream each with two scoops and a litre of ice cream and the total cost was PS67. The car park is free for visitors to the farm and they have an overflow car park too so plenty of spaces to park for cars of all sizes. One of the places the kids went was an indoor soft play area which you can get a wristband for and lasts up to an hour. The other place they got a wristband was the Marshmallow Mound which is a large inflatable and we were informed if the children kept the wristbands on they could go on this as many times as they wanted throughout the visit which was handy as they liked this a lot. As well as the rides that you need to pay for either via the prepaid cards/package or each time you use (PS4.50 per ride per child if paying separately each time) there is a large playground that is free to use which has lots of areas for children to play and can easily keep kids occupied for an hour or more so if you are visiting for a short time this may be all you need. There are lots of places to eat for families and well as lots of outdoor benches if you want to eat outside or have brought your own food and drinks. The ice cream was the highlight for us as parents as tasted great and we paid an extra PS3 each for our two children to get reusable kids mugs to have their ice cream in rather than a cone so could double up as a keepsake. Would highly recommend to anyone with young children.
Absolutely brilliant. Took my grandson who is autistic and he loved it. The price is brilliant we got the shuttle bus to and from Chester tran station and for 2 adults and 1 child it cost just under PS20. We didn't need a play pass as my grandson wasn't interested in the other things but maybe next time he will. The staff were amazing nothing was to much trouble. Definitely be back.
Really great place for kids. Large car park close to the entrance. PS2.50 entry (really cheap) and can buy passes for the rides etc. if wanted. Plenty of play for the kids without spending. Monkey bars, climbing frames etc. just like a large park. Plenty of additional ride that you pay for, bouncy trampolines, electric car rides etc. again at very good prices. Ice cream choice is fantastic and really top quality. Really good gift shop, again will very reasonable prices. Get there early. 11am was busy but by 3pm it was rammed. Great day out & the kids loved it.
I love the theme of the outdoor area and the entry is also very cheap. The food inside could have been a bit better, it's better to pack your own food. I did purchase a play pass as it was cheaper but only managed to use it on two activities, as the other ones weren't too suitable for him. Luckily the pass is valid for 2 years, so hopefully when he's old enough to enjoy the other rides we can use it again. He did love the water play, as he was just busy splashing away, so make sure to bring spare clothes for your toddler! The soft play is a little smaller than expected and actually had an unpleasant smell. Overall the outdoor activities were fun, but would definitely recommend for a little older toddler, definitely recommend prebooking. I did see some people buy on the door, this was for the 11:30am session on a Saturday. Plenty of space for car parking, as they have an overflow car park too. The ice cream was definitely much pricier than what you'd expect to get.
