Chlldren aren’t hard to please, it’s their parents who’ll decide which attraction or activity to take them to this bank holiday weekend – and us adults tend to be a lot more picky.
But wherever you live in south Lincolnshire, there’s a farm park not far away that will tick all the boxes as a fun and relaxing day out for both parents and children.
Farm parks have been steading improving since they first started to appear more than 20 years ago.
These days you can expect to fund picnic tables, a cafe, a shop and indoor and outdoor play equipment as well as farm animals and small pets.
l Snettisham Farm Park is open daily from 10am to 5pm on a working mixed farm with the added attraction of a deer park, beside the Norfolk coast road on the way to Hunstanton.
There’s a chance to bottle feed lambs, collect freshly laid eggs and enjoy a “safari” among the deer.

l Pigeons Farm on Wisbech Road, Thorney at PE6 0TD, is open daily from 10am to 5pm and here children are encouraged to get as close as possible to the animals.
