Windmill Hill City Farm Review

A fun place, great for young children. Quite a few animals for such a small place.

All my children have visited here with me! It's still going strong and I still love it - I'm 65 btw!

A place where you can interact with farm animals, like pigs, cows or goats, absolutely awesome, especially with children

It's a good example of a long term eco project that has grown in local stature over the years. It now includes a childrens nursery, a wonderful temporary cafe( the new bigger better version will be ready in May ) and a training centre which l was attending to discuss improving your community and it's environment. We had presentations from many projects including Avon Wildlife Trust and naturalist Check Sperring. Lunch was healthy, the lentil soup was delicious and l snuck away with extra carob cake. We didn't get much time to explore the grounds as our schedule was packed, yet what l saw was pretty impressive. I encountered families and primary age school kids being shown around the animal pens and allotments all deeply engrossed in the experience. They support internships.

Superb place to explore domestic animals and herbs.

Brilliant city farm, and it's free. A well loved Bristol institution.

Love love love this place so family friendly and such an affordable outing! Massively reccomend!

Just ooses with niceness this wonderfully intentioned community experience (more than a little town farm). Lots to do, very child friendly, lovely cafe and nice gift shop. Good place for mums to share with the kids.

Small inner city working farm, great cafe serving food sourced from the farm all fresh and cooked on the premises. Great cake too! Great for kids

Lovely relaxed atmosphere lots to do for kids only a donation needed for entry if you can afford it. Lovely cafe and picnic places

Young kids have a whale of a time here observing the animals and playing in the spacious grounds with intriguing paths and variegated topology. Onsite cafe with books to read to the as they eat their ice-creams ...

This is a good place for the kids to see some animals but also play on a small adventure play ground. There is a pottery hut for the little 1s to make all sorts.

It's always so relaxing to come and walk around. I love seeing all the animals and walking through the veg patches. Unfortunately the wait on food was quite long even though it wasn't so busy. A heads up on a time would have been nice

Really lovely place, very spacious inner city farm. A wide range of plants and vegetables growing. Plus pigs, goats, ducks and sheep which are really friendly...!!! Lovely cafe to relax afterwards.

Another excellent visit to the city farm at Windmill Hill

City Farm, free to enter. Nice cafe and lots for children to do.

V nice, my lil man enjoyed it. Played with Hella some rocks too #oooolovelyrocksthem

Lovely place. The kids like the ducks and the goats best.

Hidden gem if you have kids. Free entry (though it's a charity so donations are very welcome). You can park in nearby streets for free on Saturdays and Sundays. During the week you can park for free at nearby Asda Bedminster (time limit there is 2.5h - and carpark is for customers only). Selection of farm animals, and variety of crops in small allotments will allow your child explore the wonders of farming and gardening.

No guinea pigs!! Absolutely outraged!!! The whole reason I went there was to see them!!

Fantastic fresh and wholesome food at a very reasonable price. Even bought some freshly picked produce to take home!

Excellent cafe and child-friendly environment. Bristol institution!

Love this place. Brilliant oasis of green hidden in the depths of Bedminster

my daughter loves running around the farm and veg patches and looking at the animals. she also loves the book corner in the cafe and we are both a fan of the cake!

Absolutely love this place, I am a local Nanny who comes to the farm often and meet other nannies and Childminders here, we love the space outdoors, seeing the animals, the digger area, the mud digging area and especially the forest/den area at the back. The children could spend hours here and to add to it they've now got a little adventure playground! We also love the cafe and the food AND amazing cakes.
However, the last couple of times I have been we have been asked not to eat inside if the children have had their own packed lunches. I do feel this is very unfair and a has made us feel a little unwelcome as it hasn't been on particularly warm days ( when we have sat inside the cafe) and we have bought food for adults and always cakes and coffee from the cafe. There is also a bit of a seagull problem with stealing food when sitting outside in the cafe area and another time the seagull stole my uneaten food from the cafe and I asked for a replacement and again the staff member who served it to me wasn't very welcoming about serving me again. I feel like this has slightly put a downer on the experience of visiting the farm.

Such a great place with lots of nooks and crannys for kids to explore and lovely cafe with tasty ethical food. What's not to love!

A great free attraction to wander around with kids. Nice brekky too

Excellent space that hold special events. Attended the Bristol bad film club outdoor screening here

Lovely city farm and allotments, lots of different animals, excellent cafe and great amenities. Wheelchair and pushchair friendly, a great place for children to experience learn.

Awesome space for you to take your little ones and show them animules and amazing community garden space. Long may it reign!

Been here many times over the year the farm is really improving nice New cafe it's a lovely place to wonder round with the kids for a hour also have a small play area with sand pit not sure what's happen to the football court last two times I visited it was all locked up

Great local farm and allotments, and , lovely cafe. The nursery is excellent for infants too

Free community farm, great for teaching the little ones about animals, plants and community spirit

Free entry. Can check out the Gardens and animals without spending anything. Totally worth leaving a donation

Whet to celebrate their 40th birthday with them. Lots of events happening, live music, food stalls, and of course animals. Spread out over a larger area than I was expecting the farm is a great place to take the kids, they love seeing the animals and also playing in the park. A great way to spend an hour or two.

Great for getting your kids out in nature. Great cafe as well

Great free, family day out. Lots to see and a great cafe

great educational experience for young and old. fantastic play area and good healthy very tasty food

I usually go with my son and it's always nice and very friendly place to spend a quality time in a weekend.

The farm is lots of fun and loved by all and the cafes food is amazing!

This place is so much more than just a farm! There are animals to see and pet, but the farm also acts as a hub for the local community. I haven't the space here to list every service they offer, but the place is well worth a visit and as it's a charity a donation would be good too.

It's lovely for a day out with friends young and old.

What an incredible place! I can't believe I didn't know it was there! Tucked away a precious nature home for animals and baby's alike! I took the little shmush that I childminding there today (1yr old) and had a wonderful baby's day out with my childminding friend who also had a 1yr old! It was very safe! And VERY fun! And free!! Thank you everyone who works there! You were all so welcoming and friendly! Xx

I love this farm. My 1 year old and I go at least once a week. He loves running around and interacting with the animals and messing about in the play areas. The staff are all so friendly and I love seeing all the volunteers helping out, wish I had some spare time to get involved too.
If you've got time make sure you stop in the cafe. My recommendation is the carrot or courgette cake.

Great little city farm. Lots to see. Brilliant cafe!

Nice place to go for a couple of hours. It's free which is great and there is a cafe if you would like something to eat. Not a huge amount of animals but they do well with the space they have.

Lovely place for let kid's enjoy a day out and learn about animals and plants . Simply in Bedmister heart center , a jump in the country side !!

Nice place, cute animals, fairly easy to get to, nice time out in general.

Lovely community farm - friendly atmosphere, great cafe and really good in Covid!

Wonderful diversion when walking through bedminster - compact but excellent community farm.

Great for children, teaches them how stuff grows and lots of animals and places to play for little ones.nice cafe too.

So grateful we have the city farm. It's a wonderful place that brings me joy wherever we visit.

Great place for a visit. Animals and a play area complemented by a cafe. Lots to see and do.

Lovely farm with free admission. Amazing. They have an excellent cafe too.

This is such a great place to bring young children or even to go just as adults. This is a working farm, where they grow their own crops and you can walk around and see them work as you visit. It is very well maintained and there is a cafe on site as well as a picnic area.
There are plenty of warning signs about washing hands after touching fences and animals which is very good. They have toilets on site and a large area to wash and dry hands.
There is plenty to do on a wet or dry day. Non-profit and free to get in. Excellent all round!

I adore this place! Fab place for kids and cafe is really nice. The staff are all lovely and the food is fresh and tasty. It's free to enter as well, and has a sandpit, play area, little wood for den building, and gravel pit with toy diggers and dumper trucks.

But of a trek and parking spaces very hard to find. But if you're lucky to find one, nice place to go

Great day out for the kids. Friendly warm and welcoming staff. These guys work hard to make your visit worthwhile.

I think it's a magical place for children and not so children

Love this oasis of nature in the heart of Bristol. The cafe is amazing and really child friendly. And the staff are very informative, helpful and engaging.
My boys both loved exploring the wildlife garden, which they have both visited on school trips where they were shown how to pond dip, fed the animals, foraged in the gardens then cooked up pizzas in the outdoor kitchen.
There is so much to this amazing place....but let's keep it as our little secret!

So nice so friendly, great for children and adults and the food is great. A hidden gem.

Very good location, in the city center, in a natural corner. Children have access to animals and plants. Eat and have fun.
