This place is wonderful with sooo much to do. My three children absolutely love it. There are often little extras for no extra cost too (for example, the last time we went there was a clown show). A nice cafe with reasonable prices but there are also lots of places for a picnic. Just be warned there are only toilets... More

The beauty of this park is that there are no shortage of things to do and we spent 5 hours there with the kids happily working their way around the various attractions. Amongst these there were:- Small farm yard (alpaca's / sheep etc) Mini train ride (suitable for 3-9 yr olds) Powered Jeeps for the kids to take off road... More

Considering there are plenty of very good family parks in this area, Wellington is by far the most expensive for what it is. The area is nice, but so are the rest. Not really worth the money More

Firework display was great for bonfire night. They have a little train running which is great in the day, but fab at night and it's only £1 to go on it, fun for all ages. There are lots of different walkways and plenty for the kids to climb on, jump on etc. More

The nice walk around the long lake is perfect for spotting wildlife, along with the farm at the back of the park which is open during the summer months. There is a crazy golf course and a large adventure playground, both of which kids love to use. Wellington country park also has a campsite, although i have never used this,... More

Entry to the park is very expensive for what it is. We played miniature golf and had to pay another £10 deposit for the clubs (which we did get back). It is a lovely place to visit on a summers day and for small children it is obviously a fun day out. If, however, you are just looking for a... More
