Better experiences to be had elsewhere...

We found the admission fee to be quite high for this experience, and our 2 year old cost the same as an adult. The farm itself is small, but they do have a wide variety of animals there. As somebody who works with animals, including zoological species, I was disappointed with both the size and cleanliness of the majority of the enclosures. The shire horse in the paddock is so lame that it can barely walk. I was informed by a member of staff that the horse was 'a bit lame' and that the vet had been called out a number of times in the previous weeks, however the condition of the animal was quite distressing, and my party was so concerned that we elected to leave the 'Animal Kingdom' immediately. The staff are friendly and the overall atmosphere is nice, however the place has an overall run-down feel to it, despite the pricey admission. We did receive a free return visit for our 2 year old, however we will not be using it. There is much better value to be found elsewhere in Shropshire.
