About Cefn Mably Farm Park
Cefn Mably Farm Park is an all-weather family farm attraction and soft play rolled into one, set in rolling countryside at Began Road, Cefn Mably, just off the M4 between Cardiff and Newport. The park was created with children in mind, giving families plenty of chances to get close to the animals safely and enjoyably. Outside, youngsters can feed friendly farm animals, climb and explore the adventure playground, ride the miniature railway and clamber onto the ride-on mini diggers, while a large indoor soft play centre keeps things going whatever the weather. It is open seven days a week and suits everyone from toddlers to older children. There is an on-site cafe serving hot and cold food, free parking, accessible toilets and baby-change facilities, and the site is pushchair friendly. General admission is around £5 per person with under-2s free; animal feed, the train ride and soft play are charged separately. No booking is needed for a general visit, so families can simply turn up during opening hours (10am to 5pm daily). Dogs are not permitted other than registered assistance dogs.
