We visited during the half term school holidays. We arrived at around 11:30am and was on site for around 3 1/2 hours. On arrival you can pay at the gate or can pre book online. Children under 4 go free. There is a short walk to the main entrance where you are welcomed by a picknick area which has a small cafe and girt shop. There is a selection of ice-cream, ice lollies, drinks, chips. There is small selection of animals you can feed such as goats and meerkat. Please be aware that you need to book and pay extra for the meet the keeper meerkat feeding experience. There is also a small building that has snake's, stick insects, cockroaches and a tarantula. There are 3 different trials to walk. The blue one is quick and easy to navigate through the woodlands. However, the red and purple trails are quite steep with different types of terrain. This is not suitable for any type of pushchair or wheelchairs. The ground can be wet and muddy, so decent footwear is advised. If you want to walk all three trails, you will need between 2-3 hours depending on your speed and skill. You can borrow a baby carrier if you require which is free of charge. The cafe and bench area did become quite busy at around 1pm. Overall, the visit was quite nice with very nice views of the water fall and stream that runs down.

Went last weekend and started with the meerkat talk from one of the staff who was clearly very informed and was good at sharing the information whilst also making it understandable for the families with kids who were also there. The falls themselves are definitely worth the visit, one of the more stunning waterfalls on Dartmoor. We took the purple trail and it was fun although be warned it's not as easy as the rest of the trail is and is very much like walking on a rougher part of Dartmoor so using the helpful map they give you when you park to take the red trail may be better if you're not looking to adventure a little more and climb a small hill. I highly recommend for a day out, only a short drive from the A38 Bovey Tracey turn off. We also had some food in the cafe which was pretty nice after going for the walk around.

Becky Falls is a charming little waterfall set in a peaceful, natural setting. It’s perfect for a short hike, with clearly marked routes that cater to different abilities, there’s something for everyone, from gentle walks to more challenging trails. The whole area has a relaxing feel and is a great way to spend a couple of hours in nature. Well worth a visit!

We visited during the February half term holiday with our grandchildren (7 & 9) and our dog. We arrived soon after opening and started on the red route with a bit of boulder climbing and good views of the falls. We opted for the red route extension and arrived back at the cafe ready for lunch (you could take a picnic) We then feed the meerkats and visited the other animals. Before a stroll around the blue route back to the gift shop and granddad had to stop for a cake! We then left giving us time to visit an and climb up Hound Tor, (Newton Abbot) just before we left for home the ponies visited us.
