The Pantry At Barleylands

Amazing petting zoo area. Very happy healthy and very well looked after animals. Loving and caring staff and well kept great facilities. Buying my annual pass.

the first time with the family. we had a nice time. we saw 2 disney princess walking around and they said hi to my little girl and sang happy birthday to my mother in law. what we thought was so nice of them..

we had visited a birthday here, it is such a beautiful place to visit with the children, many different animals to see it definitiw worth. there is also a soft play area for the children to use all there energy View menu

had an amazing day with the whole family. the children loved it. I must see that a lamb is born and the chicks and ducks were so sweet and then all the attractions for the children were amazing. the bouncy kissen zip wire and indoor soft game and dias were a big hit with the kids. can not wait to come back

come here every year during/after the essex sausage and cider festival on the whole street. absolutely amazing eating, the staff are fantastic friendly and polite. the restaurant is immaculate and also the toilets. if they haven't tried this place yet, they're gone. currently sitting in the restaurant as I write.

The chap who did the Meerkat talk and the one who told us about the eagles were also great. In general everyone there was really lovely. We held a duckling and a chicken, and fed the animals, and the ones we couldn't touch or feed were still great to look at. There's a broad range: donkeys, ferrets, servals, owls,... The ice cream van was cash only important to note to avoid disappointment. I feel a bit sad for the nocturnal animals as lots of parents just let their children scream and stomp around, and ther...

Went here today, just me a my daughter. I cant actually fault this place. This is the first time we've been here in my opinion its really, really good. They have thought of everything for the young ones in regards to entertain them. Plenty of friendly animals, play area's(inside out), activities, animal talks/presentions, tractor rides. The list goes on. The staff are really friendly, even the youngsters, i say that because sometimes in my exsprience young staff in these places its not always the case but here is very much not so. Also lots of toilets around which is very helpful when you have a little one with you lots of wash stations for after feeding/petting the animals. After paying £30... View menu
