I come regularly for activities but I was a little disappointed with this one, the children did not really practice the workshop was botched, the speaker left without saying goodbye ... Disappointed

It's not a workshop but a waste of time for adults and children. The children do nothing but listen and watch how to make butter. My daughter and niece kept telling me how bored they were. What's more, it was far too crowded. And yet we'd really enjoyed other workshops at Gally Farm such as bread, apple juice, pumpkins and so on. In short, very disappointing, I wouldn't recommend it at all.

Too many children. Almost no manipulation. We learn nothing.

Big disappointment. The kids hardly participate at all, just shake a pot. And only 1 jar for 3/4 children. Tasting at the end of the workshop, but unfortunately the children didn't leave with a jar.

Very disappointing workshop: the children saw butter-making machines that were never used, a small pot per family, even though we were paying for 3 children. At the end, they didn't get their butter back. All this while sitting on benches. Animator not adapted to the level of the children and not pleasant. In short, very disappointed.

While the gardening workshop was great and the children were able to take their plantations home with them, here we're tasting butter that isn't ours and rein a reemener....disappointment for the whole family.

Big disappointment. The workshop is not at all participative. The children handle less than 1 minute of the 45-minute session, and the rest of the time we just watch the facilitator. It's more like a lecture than a workshop. It's a shame, because the children could have done everything the presenter did individually. What's more, the presenter was a bit aggressive and didn't put the children at ease. The children didn't leave with their creations. I have much better memories of the bread workshop.

The instructor was very nice, but it wasn't really a workshop. We just sat there listening and watching. We shook a pot of cream, took turns, and the children (20 in all) went in pairs to wash the butter (only one container for the 20 children in the middle of the room, so 30 seconds per child), then we were offered a piece of bread from the farm with industrial butter. Afterwards, the farm was very pleasant and saved our trip.

Lovely instructor, but it's really a class where the kids don't do much and get a bit bored.

Very good teaching, interesting butter workshop, but unfortunately little participation from the children... As for the visit to the farm, on this day of heatwave and summer vacations, it was clear that the employees were overworked and running late, so the visit wasn't as pleasant as usual.
