I visited the model village with my husband - we had no children with us and thought it might not amuse us. We were wrong. The first thing that we noticed was the size - it went on into the distance.

I had visited the Model Village many years ago and decided to go again when we had a few days break in Torquay. What a wonderful place for all ages. Everywhere was kept very clean and tidy and the displays were outstanding. Allow about 2 hours to get around.Excellent value for money,do not miss out on a great experience. more

Try and visit in the late afternoon so that you see the village lights come on. It is so beautifully done that you can't help but be charmed. I visited years ago and so had few expectations. The English seaside at its very best and the souvenirs were good value for adults and children. more

The model village in Babbacombe is an excellent family attraction. It is good value for money and during certain times of the year (& if you are visiting during the day), you are able to return at night to see the illuminations at no extra cost. The model village is very well kept with the gardens in an immaculate condition... more
