The activities and events which are split up throughout the day kept all three children of ages 3, 10 and 15 entertained. The staff throughout the park are all very welcoming and helpful. The food in the cafe is very nice and very reasonably priced for a family. An excellent day out and one which we will repeat. More

It's on a hillside, so some decent shoes/boots or wellies would be recommended. Some... More

This place is great! We took our four year old here whilst on holiday in the area. Reasonably priced, well looked after and plenty to do all added up to a great day out. We were a bit unsure of this one before we visited but the website and leaflet do not do it justice. Lots to see and do,... More
