Butter & Animals workshop at Ferme de Gally in St-Denis

Very hard to find space, very few animals, the children's butter workshop needs to be revised, they don't do anything. Except shake a small jar of fresh cream. Even for the price, it's not worth it.

The instructor was super nice and pleasant, but it's a shame the workshop wasn't very comprehensive and too short. 8.20€ to shake a jar to make butter is far too expensive I think. The workshop was supposed to last 45min but it didn't turn out to be that long. I would have liked to have had a bit more history on butter, a bit more explanation on how it was made (for example, the different machines that may have existed). I think it's a real shame and I don't think I'll be coming back or recommending it to others. Nevertheless, the children were happy to shake the jar to see the butter appear, to taste the butter jam and to see the animals.

The workshop doesn't last 45 minutes. Apart from the explanations, all the child does is shake a pot and the workshop is over. Not nearly as good as the bread workshop!

The workshop leader was very good. However, the children were disappointed not to be able to make the butter themselves. They sat on a bench and watched. Fortunately, they really enjoyed visiting the festival.

Attractive farmhouse housing an eco-museum: farming tools and explanatory panels on Ile de France market gardening. Friendly staff available to explain the greenhouse and outdoor cultivation projects. However, there was one drawback concerning the butter workshop. The children weren't able to experiment on their own (little handling, apart from shaking the cream). The photo presentation of the workshop implied the use of churning utensils, which the children were unable to do. The workshop was more of a demonstration by the instructor. Too bad.

Less spectacular than the bread workshop. But at least the children understand what butter is made from.

Activity a little short but fun

Super, very nice activity leader. Good activity

It was good, but we would have liked the children to have been able to make their own butter from start to finish. In any case, the lady in charge of the workshop was great, thank you!

Very interesting activity. The activity leader was great with the kids.

The experiment is fun. Be careful with small groups, as the process of separating butter from butter stock takes a long time and can compromise the experiment.

It was fun. My children and I enjoyed it. The animator is involved and that's a pleasure. The only downside was that we thought we'd really get involved, but the children's physical participation was minimal.
