The main parts of the farm are clustered together but adjacent are two fields of lambs and horses, so make sure you go up there. In between is a field of llamas, goats, donkeys and ponies. Overall, there is a wide selection of animals to meet, including pigs, poultry, reptiles and lots of rabbits and smaller animals.
This isn't a commercial attraction, so don't expect sessions where you can feed or hold the animals, fairground rides, fancy play grounds, tractor rides etc. I think you can buy a cup of tea but I'm not sure. You could take a picnic as there are a couple of benches.
Overall, we spend about an hour to an hour and a half there. It's a really nice farm to visit and support. We stop at Braehead on the way back for shopping and eating (see the Eating Out section for some ideas) but you could plan your own route and diversions. On one occasion we pulled up at the end of the airport runway to watch the aeroplanes take off and land. I believe there are also pick-your-own farms in the area too (East Yonderton Farm).
It's located in between Inchinnan and Erskine, a bit a journey from Glasgow. It is also up a narrow street; there is parking on one side only and a concrete car park in a field right at the end, I advise going right up to this car park. (You will have to in order to turn around and leave anyway). The toilets are cold, clean and functional but what do you expect on a farm? There is a large baby change room. Wellies are not essential unless it's raining. I also had a massive attack of hay fever after my first visit, this is particularly unique to me but worthwhile noting if you are sufferer from this kind of countryside pollen.
