 We love a farm and this year we've been to quite a few as animals are certainly Oliver's thing right now...especially chickens.  Godstone has everything you need for a good family day out.  It's pricey but when you see how much there is to do, you can easily spend a whole day there.  Adults and children over 2 years old cost £9.40 each, children 1 years £3.60 and under 1s are free.  You can make it cheaper for yourself by not adding to that and taking a picnic.  There are also sometimes deals on certain sweet packets or offers online if you keep your eyes peeled. 

As well as all the usual farm animals that you would expect to see there are several play areas including a huge sandpit. In the summer Oliver spent an hour just in the sand pit.  There is indoor soft play as well which we hardly used but its a good size if the weather wasn't the best. Tractor rides are an extra cost and we haven't been on those yet, so can't say if they are worth it. 
       

There is an indoor barn where you can touch and hold some animals which is really lovely.  Oliver got to hold a rabbit for the first time this summer and he is still talking about it now!  They do pig racing events are certain times as well which is fun to watch and everyone gets very competitive shouting out the names of their winning pig!

                        

 The food was ok in the café, they do some hot food but we just had sandwiches (which we could have made at home had we made the effort) but there is a really good ice cream stand with lots of different flavour scoop ice creams worth sampling, very tasty!!  There is also a gift shop which sells some nice bits, although after going in there telling Oliver we were definitely not buying anything dinosaur related at an animal farm, we came out with a triceratops *sigh*.

It does get busy in the height of summer and at weekends but farms are great all year round.  There's a large free car park and its buggy friendly.  It's definitely a great day out and I think you can buy season tickets if its somewhere you want to go on a regular basis.  Love seeing the baby animals, there always seems to be piglets every time we go!

Peter Rabbit Woods - Limpsfield Common

Peter Rabbit Woods Ridlands Lane Limpsfield Chart RH8 0SY Just after the lock down restrictions eased up a bit, we were looking for somewhere quiet and new to explore.  I came across Peter Rabbits Woods online and myself and a friend decided to meet there to see what it was like.  What a great little find!! There is free parking at Ridlands lane however it is a tiny car park and we went before the summer holidays on a drizzly day, so it might be worth checking other places to park in case it is full, thankfully we were lucky! Although it isn't somewhere you would spend a whole day so there are people coming and going. So wellies on, we set off to explore and along the way down the woodland trails we came across little homes of the characters from Peter Rabbit.  At Peters post office you could post a letter, we weren't really prepared but my friend had an envelope so we posted it full of leaves that Oliver collected.  Then a few days later my friend sent Oliver a letter saying t

Diggerland - Kent

 Diggerland Medway Valley Leisure Park Roman Way Strood Kent  ME2 2NU Our first visit to Diggerland this week and it was pretty exciting!  You need to pre-book tickets but there is no time slot so you can arrive any time after 10am.  We got there about 10.45am and had no problems parking near the entrance, however there was a 20 minute queue to get in.  Tickets cost £19.95 each (kids aswell although under 90cm tall is free) but it is a theme park so expect it to be a little pricey.  The only extras were the dodgems which you had to purchase tokens for £1 a ride and there were a few coin operated diggers and cars which were also £1.  The indoor play areas are still closed due to Covid. Baring in mind it is summer holidays the queues weren't terrible, when there were several of the same machines it was obviously quicker.  They also had to clean everything down after every go which took some time.  The biggest diggers I think there were only 4, the queue took too long and we abandoned

Bocketts Farm Park - Leatherhead

 Bocketts Farm Park Young Street Fetcham Leatherhead KT22 9BS We went to Bocketts farm in January for the second time.  The first time I was mostly carrying Oliver in a sling so he was only about 1 and wasn't quite old enough to explore all that was on offer.  This time he was big enough and brave enough to do it all! This post is about a visit pre Covid so I can't comment on it more recently but according to the website its pretty much all open again now with distancing rules.   When we went in Jan I had forgotten how much is there! It's in Leatherhead, under half hours drive from Coulsdon and a nice drive through country lanes if you go through Headley and avoid the motorway.  As you walk in to get your ticket there is a huge ride on section with various mini tractors, cars and bikes.  Then a bunch of trampolines and a tractor you can sit in and pretend to drive.  All hits with Oliver and his friend straight away.  There is a little cafe in there and toilets.  I didn'
