Unfortunately, it was extremely cold in there, as it was housed in a barn. Even with us running around, it was still too chilly for my young children to enjoy. I understand that it would be a significant investment, but the management should really consider adding industrial heaters to warm up the barn; it was simply too cold for us to stay for long. Additionally, there was no café next to the soft play area that was open, which meant we couldn't get any hot food or drinks while we were there. We were only able to stay for about half an hour before deciding to go to the small café for a warm drink and something to eat. Unfortunately, there was no kids' menu available, so we couldn't find anything suitable for our children, and the adult menu featured mostly just soup and scones. As a result, we left without having any hot drinks or food. In summary, we were only at Gincase for about 40 minutes, primarily due to the unfavorable weather. However, I believe improvements could be made for the winter months, such as heating in the soft play area and offering hot drinks in the play barn. These changes could encourage families to stay longer. I can imagine that during the summer, this would be a fantastic day out, and I look forward to returning when the weather is warmer to fully enjoy our visit.

I'd probably recommend it for kids under 10 but if they are animal daft kids of all ages will like it.

My 2-year-old absolutely loved the animals, especially feeding a goat, and had a great time in the play area and sand pits. The café was fantastic, especially since they offered gluten-free options on the menu, which was a nice touch. We will definitely be coming back!
