“We spent a fantastic afternoon at Wroxham Barns. It has something for everyone, from lovely gift shops and mini golf, to very welcoming goats and cows in the farm. Staff were on hand to answer all our questions about the farm and provide interesting facts about the animals, their funny traits and
behaviours. We loved 'afternoon cuddles' with the guinea pigs and bottle feeding the calves.” Tripadvisor 2013
