Tapnell Farm Park, near Yarmouth on the island's western side, is a former dairy farm turned all-weather family attraction — go-karts, jumping pillows, trim trails, sledge and tower slides, animal paddocks, and the island's only Aqua Park, all on one site.
2026 Season and Booking
The 2026 season runs from 21 March to 1 November. All tickets must be booked online in advance — there's no walk-up gate ticket option, so plan ahead if you're visiting.
Ticket Pricing
Tapnell Farm offers £1 off standard admission when booking online rather than at any alternative in-person option, and a Summer Season Pass at £42 per person — working out to roughly £6 a month across the seven-month season if you're planning multiple visits. Under-2s enter free. For the exact current single-visit adult and child prices, check Tapnell Farm's own "Prices & Opening" page directly, since specific day-ticket rates are updated through the season and aren't published at a single fixed figure year-round.
Is It Worth It?
For families who'll visit more than two or three times across a stay or a season, the Season Pass at £42pp represents strong value given the range of activities on site — go-karts, physical play equipment, and animal interaction all included under one admission. For a single one-off visit, the value depends more on how much your children specifically enjoy farm-animal interaction and active outdoor play versus other island attractions.
What's Included
Beyond the core farm park (go-karts, jumping pillows, trim trails, slides, and animal paddocks), the site also has the island's only Aqua Park and The Cow restaurant, a converted Swiss barn serving home-made burgers with gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options — worth knowing if you're planning a full day rather than a quick visit.
Weather and Timing
Tapnell Farm markets itself specifically as an all-weather attraction, making it a solid choice regardless of forecast — see our Tapnell Farm rainy day guide for more detail on what's covered versus outdoor.
