Customer Reviews

"We all had a fantastic time here plenty of car parking. Me, my daughter, Niece, and Grandson and there's lots to do here, including lovely walks and fun rides, plenty of eating places too. We took our own picnic though there were plenty of seating areas. We were able to buy extra drinks and ice lolly on our walk around the rides. Plenty of toilet facilities too. The staff were lovely and friendly here, would definitely recommend it here for a fun day out."
Katrina
"Took my granddaughters they loved it. There is plenty to do and lots of free play areas. The ride tickets are good value at one pound when you have more than one child to pay for. Parking good. Food stalls and drinks can be purchased. Excellent day out."
Lesley
"A good day out, with a great selection of activities for young children. We bought wristbands but probably would have been cheaper to buy the tickets as these were only £1 each in August. Amazing play park which is free to use. Great grounds to have a picnic. Would recommend."
Charlie
"We went last week and had the best time! Staff were so friendly and helpful and we thought this was great value for money. Kids Loved it."
Michelle
"We camped here this week, and all had a blast!!! It was so well-priced. We were one of the first in the park. The camping was quiet, and the kids absolutely loved all the places to walk!!! Thank you!"
Charlotte
"I just got back from the park, it was great seeing so many people all smiling, the parks looking wonderful and the special August offer of £1 a ride is a great offer. Well done wickies."
Peter
"First time visiting this park and wasn’t disappointed. Such a lovely place. Couldn’t decide to either buy wristbands or tokens. Family of four. Two adults. 6 year old and nearly 2 year old 0.8m tall. Wristbands were the cheaper option in the end. Staff friendly and happy. Food was really tasty. We ate in the American diner. We couldn’t do the whole park we got there at midday so we ran out of time. We will come back and come earlier in the day."
Collette
"Tyler in Chocolate Haven is a real asset to you! Look forward to coming back at Easter for all the rides!"
Abbie
"We had a lovely day at the park on a very busy day, it was an amazingly good value day out. It is still incredibly popular mostly down to affordable rides and free play park. We visited twice in the summer holidays, we bought tickets both times as with the length of queues we had only managed to get on two rides in the first hour and a half. So you couldn’t of got on 22 rides to make the wrist band better value. We were disappointed that there wasn’t a track with cars to drive as in previous years. As with little boys that is a firm favourite"
