Sandra Palmer-Snellin, Director at Farmer Palmers, said:
“The revamped water play area has been a big success. Many parents have said that it’s now one of their children’s favourite parts of Farmer Palmer’s, with kids happily spending hours there, especially on warm days.
The area’s design not only entertains but also helps develop children’s confidence and balance through versatile play elements like the sliding mound and interactive water features. All parents need to do is bring a swimsuit and a towel!”
