We love Beale Park as a day out so much we've got annual membership for the past few years, which is fantastic value for money. There is plenty to keep little ones entertained regardless of the weather. The inside little tikes area is great for rainy days with slides, ride ons and little houses to play in along with plenty...

After a very average day (a shame as I have fond memories of Beal Park as a child with my parents) I was shocked at the attitude of an elderly member of staff at reception. When asked whether there was a bin that could be used to dispose of a nappy (which I might add was securely tied in a... More

We decided on a trip to the park as it was such a nice spring day. After driving by the signs for Beale Park for years we are so glad we finally made it in. As there were three adults and one aged under two years we couldn't get a family ticket but were happy paying £9.50 per adult with... More

Visited with my family as part of a medium sized group and had a very enjoyable day. There's not a huge amount to see in terms of the animals and birds, but the grounds are well kept, there's a train which travels around the park where you can see aspects you can't from the paths, and there's a very good...

My children Love it here. We always have to stop at our local shop before we go as they put aside the bread they can no longer sell so we can feed the ducks. My son and Daughter both Love the new Pirate play island and the newly placed sandpit. As a mother with small children I like that you... More
