This is very good for somewhere that is free to get in. There is lots to see and a small outside play area. It does get very busy during school holidays though.

We called in at Stockwood to break up a long journey on the motorway. What an excellent find!! We have two small children and they loved it here. We had a lovely picnic in the gardens, and a walk around the different gardens. The gardens are beautifully kept and are all different styles including a sensory garden. There is a... More

I have always like Stockwood, was a place that i went to many times when i was young , so it was nice to go back again. The Discovery centre, next to the golf course, has vehicles of old times with interesting different exhibitions at the end.(The car museum is free but a small charge for the exhibition). This summer... More

Found this place by accident looking for a meeting point close to the M1 to spend some time with friends and our children. I'm glad I did! The 6 children ranged from 8 months to 9 between us and they all had a great time with plenty to keep them entertained and interested. We had lunch in the cafe which... More

Looking for something to do on Easter Sunday & found that there was a Country Show on at Stockwood Park. Expected it to be in the main part of the park as we did not know that this place existed. What a hidden gem. The Country Show was small but well attended and the discovery centre was a real eye... More

They had a dinosaur collection on and although probably overpriced for what it was - and the fact that some of the buttons didn't work to activate the dinosaurs - it was actually a really good day Went after to look at the motor museum and have a drink and once again it...

Overall, the area is very tranquil and beautiful. Loads of activities to do within the gardens and educational areas for the kids to learn and play. However, when it comes to eating lunch or getting a snack there using their cafe. It also takes a quick turn, the food is 'ok' and it crazily over-priced. A bottle of coke, not... More
