What travelers are saying
- jon_mortGreat Malvern, UK53 contributionsIt’s so well put together and links the experience with the work that the Salvation Army do for young people at the venue. Don’t miss the cafe: the foods good and very reasonably priced and the staff are great.! You’re helping young people gain confidence and experience in the process. The gift shop sells much more tasteful stuff than the other Beatles venues around Liverpool too.Written December 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- mikeapeterAstley, UK156 contributionsBack again for a lovely walk around the lake and into the park, mid-morning on a Tuesday. Good to see the changing colours in the sunshine also the wildlife. Plenty of free parking around the park, though this is likely to get busy at weekends. Totally safe, plenty of people about. Yes we will go back again and again, for maybe 2-3 hours at a timeWritten October 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Trisha KBromborough, UK542 contributionsOur second visit, a sunny Saturday in October following on from a sunny weekday in August. I have asked around and I am surprised this attraction doesn't seem to be better known in the area as it is really excellent for toddlers up to primary school age, say age 8 or 9, though I imagine older siblings who get dragged along as well will find it too small-scaled and tame. I was there with a 7 year old and 6 year old; they love it now but the 7 year old might outgrow it soon (except for the petting zoo). At the moment they both love the bouncy cushions and the 6 year-old is crazy for mini-golf (note, that's one attraction where children have to be accompanied by an adult, to ensure a proper flow from hole to hole). Other things they enjoy are the mini log flume and little quad bikes; the place hasn't been overcrowded so queues are quite short. There are also 4 impessive diggers to operate; one of the four out of action both times we were there.
Back in August there was a foam party in session; we had to say no as we didn't want them getting wet and messy. This time we took a towel but it wasn't running; sensible I suppose on a cool autumn day.
There are lots of picnic tables where, with the slightly older age group, it is possible for the adults to set up a sort of permanent base and just let the children run, knowing where they have to get back to. They love the freedom and the park isn't huge; it's mostly possible to keep an eye on them.
We very much appreciate that it isn't a timed entry system; you book online and can turn up whenever you want and stay all day. It's quite expensive but isn't everything these days. Food available or take your own.
Some things to note; no car park, road-side parking only but we go early and have managed to park quite close. There are a few disabled spaces close to the entrance, which is not actually through the cafe, it's a little way along the road. The cafe is divided in two; on the outside (road-facing side) it's quite good with nice seating and a varied menu whereas on the park side the catering is much more limited (pizzas, burgers, chips) and seems expensive for indifferent quality (£12 for a whole pizza or for an adult burger and few chips for example, though £4.50 for a children's meal consisting of a slice of margherita pizza and chips seems OK). Ice cream (from a separate kiosk, many varieties) is excellent quality.
The park is well staffed, everything clean and dry, litter-free. Clean toilets.
I would give five stars but have taken one off for the rather disappointing park-side catering. Wristbands are issued on entry so you can come and go and next time I think we'll take advantage of that to go out and round to lunch at the road-facing part of the cafe which is so much better. We will certainly be going again.Written October 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- graham198Liverpool, UK9,793 contributionsWent for a walk in the park , it was a bright sunny January day, cold but refreshing, it blew the cobwebs away. Lots of squirrels too, they are not frightened of humans so managed to get some good photos. Good to see so many people also enjoying the weather.Written January 23, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jenn CaraBirkenhead, UK95 contributionsMy husband and I recently visited for a little morning walk, we were really enjoying ourself until we were walking around the walled garden area.
There was an area with greenhouses and the signs said to enter, there was a small wooden block with some information about the plants on to get into that section, unfortunately all the greenhouses were locked so I made my way back out, a security guard came running up to me and said that he had caught me on CCTV and that it was clear that I wasn't allowed in there, I said that I saw no signed to suggest it was off limits and he said he there was a barrier there for a reason and started shouting at me. I would like to explain that I am autistic and this situation really upset me and ruined the rest of our visit, I later had a panic attack due to this incident and I am still unsure what I did to be shouted at. This was such a horrible experience and hope this doesn't happen to anyone else.Written May 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Only downside is that some people who fish there leave their rubbish behind but what can you do? Aside from that it’s a wonderful Victorian park.Written September 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LaLiverpool, UK36 contributionsTook the kids and dogs on a walk from Blundellsands Sailing Club, along the shoreline...
The views were breathtaking, even though the wind was doing its best to make my smallest dog do a Toto...
Beach is beautiful & well kept.
Love the fact there's equipment to pick up litter by the clubhouse as well but can tell people are proud of this area...
Something calming about it
Kids absolutely LOVE coming here, as do the dogs xWritten April 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There's been a church of some sort on this spot since the 1200's ,the first mention of a church was in 1257 ,the church in question being St Mary Del Quay .
In 1362 another church dedicated to St Nicholas was constructed and had a large congregation of sailors and seafarers, this church we now know as Our Lady And St Nicholas Church was expanded as the population of Liverpool grew doubling in size but by the 1700's the church had fell into disrepair, renovated up with the adding of a spire in 1747 but again by the 1800's the church was again in disrepair to such an extent that in 1810 the church spire collapsed killing many parishioners, in 1815 the church was rebuilt, during the May Blitz of 1941 the church suffered bomb damage from German bombers but was repaired post war ,nowadays its such an evocative and beautifully laid out church ,a bit of a hidden gem ,interior is serine and perfect on the eye and the grounds on which the church sits are amazing ,well kept,lots of statue's and monuments and great views of the River Mersey and the wonderful architecture along Strand Street, the church is most definitely well worth checking out if you're in the area and easy to locate along Old Churchyard.Written November 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

By day its a beautiful picnic spot especially during Summers (sunsets at 10pm😍) by night it's a gay cruising paradise (midnights post 2am). Smack dab in the middle of town, easy access all around, literally everything is a crosswalk away. Iconic.Written July 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Win TaskBedford, UK2,250 contributionsLove this place. Great place for a walk, dog walk and young kids. Plenty of open spaces in different part of this garden for different kind of activities. I really like the Chinese house and lake with a lot of birds specially heron. Perfect for picnic. Wish they develop more of this garden and open a cafe for drinks, ice cream, coffee etc. that would be great.Written April 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
