The Ice Cream Farm

The Ice Cream Farm, a family attraction in Cheshire

The Ice Cream Farm is a family-friendly rural tourist attraction located on Newton Lane in the village of Tattenhall (Cheshire). It presents itself as one of the best daytime leisure options for families in the region and as an award-winning attraction, and its offering is built around a large ice cream parlour and a set of play and entertainment areas for children of all ages.

The project belongs to the same family that owns Cheshire Farm Ice Cream, which runs two distinct rural tourist attractions: The Ice Cream Farm and The Ice Cream Drive In. Both are presented as two different ways to experience what is known as the Cheshire Ice Cream Trail.

Ice cream parlour and dining

The site is home to what the company itself describes as the world's largest ice cream parlour. The food offering is completed by several food options and dining spaces identified on its website as Sticky Paws, Pit Stop and Pizza Piazza. The ice cream parlour has its own menu and offers in-store collection through the Click & Collect system.

Play and entertainment

Entry to the site includes free parking and unlimited play in Daisy's Garden. The attraction offers pay-as-you-go options or a Play Pass, and brings together indoor and outdoor attractions. Scheduled activities include escape rooms with themes such as Prison Escape Room, Pirate Plunder Escape Room and Funfair Frenzy Escape Room, as well as specific sessions for visitors with special educational needs (SEN Sessions) and events such as Lunch with Bing or Amazing Animals.

The Ice Cream Drive In

Alongside The Ice Cream Farm operates The Ice Cream Drive In, presented as the world's first ice cream drive-in service. Visitors arrive in their vehicle, park and stay in it, and place their order and receive service through its own ordering and delivery system.

Services and practical information

The attraction's website provides information on accessibility, sustainability, community, FAQs, lost property and birthday celebrations. It also offers memberships and gift cards, as well as the option to book tickets in advance. The company publishes an impact report and maintains a rainy day promise policy.
