James Tea Rooms - Derby

Took 2 of the grandchildren here today. Very good they really liked feeding the animals. Free to get in £2 for animal food and a nice cafe and gift shop.. Plenty of free parking.

Pleasent and not crowded get up and close with the animals and a bucket of carrots and lettuce to feed them makes a happy 2 year old for 2 hours

Today, expectations can be a bit unreasonable. Free means free! If someone can't read a sign or keeps wandering off, I really don’t understand the complaints. This isn’t a daycare setting; if you don’t live nearby, it might be less worthwhile due to its small size. However, if you live within a 15-minute drive and want to spend an hour keeping your little one entertained without spending any money, then this place is fantastic!

What a fantastic place to bring children and friends together! My kids are quite energetic, and they were amazed at how close they could get to the wonderful animals. My 20-month-old daughter was captivated by the cows, and I believe they were her favorites. All the animals appeared well cared for, and we enjoyed some delicious ice cream. The restaurant itself was beautiful, with clear rules for children and their parents, which I think is a great idea. The service was quick, and the food was of high quality. We will definitely be returning!

This is a fantastic place to visit that I've enjoyed for years. Feeding the animals is a lot of fun. They offer a great selection of plants that are of excellent quality and definitely worth it. Highly recommended!
