Part of a large group?

Large parties and groups are always welcome at Old MacDonald's Farm!

Old MacDonald's open farm offers fantastic teaching facilities for educational visits. Because we are an animal petting farm the children get a hands on learning experience, there is plenty to see touch and do!

We are situated for schools in and around Essex and East London. We have a wide range of farm animals including many rare breeds to meet and learn about how they live, what they eat and how they rear their young.

Please note that we require a minimum Adult to Child ratio of 1:5

What Our Visitors Say

Large parties and groups are always welcome at Old MacDonald's Farm!

Amazing day out - animals, rides, playgrounds and even a circus this Summer. All rides included in the ticket, with so much to fit into one visit.

Fab SEN-friendly visit: not too busy, the train and tractor rides were a hit. The circus was a lovely bonus for my boys.

Best farm trip for our toddler—feeding animals, great play areas and friendly staff. Clean, safe and it kept him smiling all day.

Great fun for little ones! A perfect day with my granddaughter; all rides in the price. We’ll be back.

A full family day loads to do, short queues, and everything included in the entrance fee. Everyone left happy.
