About

There’s a FARM-FUL of Family Fun at Farmer Palmer’s Farm Park!

The secret's out and children are shouting about their new favourite place to go!  Discover Dorset’s Award-Winning Farm Park, designed specifically for children aged eight years and under. A recreational day out that still represents great value for money and where little adventurers can frankly ‘let their hair down’, meet the animals, and play all day!

Our Welcome All and Autism Friendly training gives you great personal service. We are designed with ramps, and wide doors, and pride ourselves on helping you get the most out of your day. Our team go above and beyond to bring you the warmest welcome and the biggest smiles! They are approachable, enthusiastic and totally understanding of the needs of our visitors.

Many attractions claim to be all-weather, and Farmer Palmers really is! With both indoor and outdoor play and animal areas, soft play, sand and splash zones and much moooore! The “Little Farmers Fun Barn” encourages imaginative and sensory play where your young ‘farmers in training’ can feel part of the extended farming family. There are two sets of accessible toilet and baby change areas at Farmer Palmer’s.

The Hen House Restaurant has two accessible toilets, baby changing rooms, the female toilets have additional baby change facilities. There are also accessible toilet facilities adjacent to the Little Farmer’s Barn with two large rooms built so that a buggy, wheelchair, and mobility scooter can all manoeuvre freely inside. These are known as the ‘Family Rooms’. There is a third large round room also in this area that features a changing table inside.

The Hen House Restaurant is your perfect pit stop for ‘re-fuelling’! Serving traditional home-made meals cooked on site and, of course, delicious home-made cakes too. Gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan and dairy-free requirements all taken care of. They really have thought of everything! If you, as parents, opened a children’s attraction this is what it would be like!

It’s always a great time to visit the farm and meet beautiful animals. Hold adorable guinea pigs, hand feed goat kids, groom the ponies, jump of the tractor trailer and explore acres of adventure!

Review from Iesha Manns

Everywhere is really accessible, the paths are stable enough so you can join in with everything. You can get up close to the animals which is amazing. They might be designed for kids, they might be designed for accessibility but the sinks are low down, making hand washing really easy. I was able to have a little cuddle with Smoochie the guinea pig. One of the best disabled toilets we’ve been to so far. There was a really big disabled toilet. The café was so calming with all the sensory lights on the ceiling”.

Review from our Christmas Experience - "We visited today with our two children and were blown away by your Christmas experience. This is our third Christmas visiting and it won’t be our last. The reason I came to email is our son is neuro-spicy and struggles a bit, but your elves were incredible, and I could see them quietly telling the next section about our son and it made him feel so comfortable and at ease. You have no idea what a difference that makes for us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Upon arrival, you will receive a printed copy of our animal activity timetable from the reception team.
