It's definitely nice and quiet during school days, very peaceful indeed. A bit sad that it's not as successful as it once was though, could be something to do with going cashless. I love all of the small shops and animal farm. The farm is great for small kids, you can feed animals etc and play. The biggest letdown is the cafe/tea room. It was so much better years ago before they started changing it around. The cake I had was really dry unfortunately, I didn't actually finish it. All feels very impersonal and generic there now. Go for the shopping experience or for something to do with toddlers, not really worth eating unfortunately.

Wroxham Barns has stood since the '89s, thriving under superb management. It's impressive to witness its enduring vitality, hosting well-organized events that offer excellent value. Situated in Hoveton a great location easy to get to from Norwich. Nice to see Ian is still there at the helm…😁

We've had a lovely day sauntering around the craft shops looking at the beautiful products on sale. We bought some lovely Norfolk apple juice. A gift for my granddaughter and a beautiful jacket for myself. The only downside was a number of the shops were closed. There is lots of free parking. Toilets are clean and accessible. Dogs are allowed in some areas and there were plenty of dog drinking bowls dotted around. We ate scones, toasted teacake, flapjack and drank tea for two from the cafe and sat outside in the sunshine. You could take a picnic if you wanted. There is a fun park with rides for little ones and a farm (we didn't go into these facilities) it wasn't busy (end of September) we would recommend this to families with younger children.

We have made this place a part of our yearly tradition in Northfolk and it has been sad to see the downfall of the place. It used to be filled with so many different types of stalls and now it’s just full of high end craft shops £££ The tea room serves ok food and drink and it has many attractions for kids which would make it a great hour or two for a family. Sad to hear that the Norfolk apple company is retiring at the end of this week

Loved this place, little piece of interest for all ages, fun park with rides, crazy golf plus more, a Maize Maze, animals, varied shops, gifts, clothes, charity shop, vintage shop, cafe. Plus such friendly staff (well done to staff recruitment) a little gem. Thankyou for a lovely day Wroxham

Relaxing environment. Plenty for children to do. Ice cream was really yummy! Disappointed the toy shop wasn't open. Grandson had brought his birthday money to spend.

Worth a visit. Great for children if you don't mind the price tag. Lots of places to sit and eat as a family, rides and so much more. Inspirational shops from house art, sowing, flowers and crafts. Take your own food.

Visited both the junior farm and the fun park. A mini zoo where you can see goats, sheep, alpacas (we saw two), pigs, bunnies, tortoise, ponies and cows. There is a sheep maternity unit as well. Entrance fees £9.90 per person (adult and kids alike) under 1 y/o free of charge. Plenty of washing sink and hand soap facilities throughout the junior farm. You will have the opportunity to comb the ponies which is quite a fun experience for the kids. The fun park has exceeded my expectations, there are crazy golf, trains, jumping frogs, air bouncer, water balloon etc, for all ages of kids and adults alike. Spent 4 hours there, but expect a long queue during lunch hours in the cafe at weekends. Plenty of parking space and free of charge. Only that it is all pebble paths so will be slightly difficult for baby push chairs but not too bad.
