Places to Visit in Essex – Barleylands Farm Park

Barleylands Farm Park is bursting at the seams with things to see and do. Some of our most popular attractions and activities include:

  • Animal activities – Between May and September, we’ve got sheep competing alongside goats in our Lamb National and Hilly Billy Goat Steeplechase races.
  • Outdoor adventures – With two great playground areas featuring monkey bars, a zip wire, go karts, and huge jumping pillow, kids can run wild for hours.
  • Indoor play – If its raining outside, kids can make their way to the indoor barn for high slides, cargo nets, poles, and chicanes. Toddlers have their own play area too.
  • Imperial Bird of Prey Academy – The number one bird of prey centre in Essex (as ranked by TripAdvisor) promises a fun and engaging insight into owls, hawks, falcons, and vultures.
  • Animal Barn – Whatever the weather, you’ll get the chance to see and hand feed your farmyard favourites within the comfort of our Animal Barn.
  • Snakes Alive Reptile House – Featuring over 55 enclosures with a huge array of snakes, lizards, tortoises, amphibians, spiders, scorpions, and more.
