Muddy Boots Farm Park Balmalcolm in Fife

Muddy Boots is still my favourite Fife Farm Shop, a great place to take kids, brilliant food, friendly service and I love the fact that there are chickens everywhere - you do feel like you are on a real working farm. They try to be different with the kid's play equipment and have some great stuff for all ages of kids. The Muddy Munchkins area for under 7s has plenty to do, sandpit, jumping pillow swings and slides, tractors to ride, and is great for an hour or two for the wee ones.

For £6.50 over 7's can enjoy a bigger jumping pillow, grass sledging, go karts, and access to the indoor soft play castle, suitable for preschoolers and bigger kids alike.All ages can enjoy the barrel bug ride (£1) which is driven with enthusiasm and fun and the piglet racing (£1) to choose a piglet and win a return trip free!

Well stocked farm and gift shop which is lovely to browse, and a good menu for kids and special diets in the cafe, with it's roaring hearth in the centre.

Muddy Boots is not just for summer holidays with the kids - in fact I went last year on the first day of the school term, for a great lunch with friends, nice coffee, and no kids at all!
