...should you need it is: Lakemore Country Park Lane Ends Farm, Clay Lane, Haslington, Crewe Tel: 01270 253556 *** OVERALL VERDICT *** When we first looked at going to the park, all the advertisements we saw stated that there were Wallabies on site. To cut a long story short, there weren’t and haven’t been for over four years. However, the fun we had showing the animals to Jake and being able to feed and touch some of them was more than worth the ...
...anyone wanting to spend a few hours in a nice setting, but not wishing to spend a fortune. We were there for about three hours and enjoyed it immensely. Jake’s knowledge of animals has improved and he is now able to point all the farm animals out to me in his books so I guess it was educational as well as fun. Thanks for reading, Sarah xx ...

...4 and Leon 2), to Lakemore Country park in Crewe, following Ben's school trip there. He talked about it none stop, so we thought we'd give it a try.

We then explored the grounds and the various animals on site having purchased animal feed. Leon was reluctant to pet ...
...the day progressed. Then children then spent an hour or two in the huge play barn, which is very well equipped with bouncy castles, wendy houses, slides, pedal tractors and other toys.

We then took a turn around the lake, more pigs and chickens and then somebody was worn out and needed carrying home! Please go, but only let your special friends know. ... Read review
