Tapnell Farm Park FAQs

Here's some of the most frequently-asked questions about school visits to Tapnell Farm Park, posed by teachers and other group leaders

Are there any considerations regarding infection control?

Facility is outdoors. Equipment and changing areas are sanitised between uses.

Is there somewhere to eat lunch?

The park has many picnic tables available for use. There's also a cafe and a snack bar selling ice-cream within the park if you'd like to plan a treat or a hot lunch for example. We can help with that.

Are there any special requests or processes for group leaders on arrival?

On arrival, please send an adult to check in and take instructions from site staff with respect to the session.

If you are a group over 30 you will definitely have at least one private session (up to max capacity) and all necessary safety equipment will be provided. There will also be time allowed for changing at each end of the session.

How does payment work?

We will pre-book your visit for you and your entry charges will be paid directly by Education Destination. All you need to do is show up at the agreed time, line the kids up outside, identify yourselves to staff and you'll be enjoying the facilities in no time!

Is there space to sit and eat a packed lunch picnic?

No picnic space

Are there any special or unusual requirements I need to know about before visiting?

Swimming costumes or thin shorts/T-shirts should be worn under normal clothing to speed up changing times at the Aqua Park. Bear in mind these may get wet. Students will also need to take a towel and sufficient dry clothing to change into after the session.

What about toilets?

There's a large toilet block in the main building which is no more than a few minutes' walk from anywhere in the park

How accessible is the park?

Most of the park is on one level with wide hard footpaths. There's always plenty of staff on hand to help if needed.

What about bad weather?

Whilst most of the fun attractions are outside, there's plenty to see and do indoors as well, so Tapnell is a perfect rainy day option.

How much time should we allow for a visit?

Most groups allocate a half day for trips to Tapnell and combine it with other attractions in the area, such as Dinosaur Expeditions or The Needles Pleasure Cruise. However, Tapnell is continually expanding and we are now seeing groups opt to spend a whole day here.
