“Brilliant day out for families/groups with kids up to probably 12 years of age. Tickets and gift shop were good value. Loads of space to run around and a fantastic playground with an obstacle course (two sides for racing against each other)… We’ll be back!”

“Absolutely amazing day. Caters for all ages and is so reasonably priced. Even the cafe inside doesn’t overcharge parents and all the staff were so lovely. The owner really knows how to run a great business, we will be back multiple times this summer.”
