Facilities & Activities

Pros:

  • "Loads to do including the soft play which is huge and like a maze as well as the animal farm and some rides to choose from."
  • "Awesome indoor place for children & awesome farm great animals & staff very friendly."
  • "Lots for children of all ages to do. Play areas, petting areas, boating lake and plenty of land to blow off steam."

  • "I visited the park with my 17 month grandson and son and was very impressed with the layout of the outdoor park."
  • "Outside in the play farm there's SO much to do from construction to jumping pillows, animals, train, boats, playground, walk around the lake."
  • "The outdoor farm has so much to do and really great for the overall price."

Cons:

  • "The most shocking service ever. With the highest soft play rates in the area... Rude staff, closed the outside area at 4:30 and kitchen at 5."
  • "Very pricey. Took our baby for a visit, cost best part of £15 - just for the mini zoo without the playbarn... and some of the animals appear thoroughly depressed."
  • "The whole area very dirty and covered in rubbish."
  • "Not a lot to do there. It's a once visit kind of place. Some staff are rude."
  • "Too many older kids not being supervised are running around in there and pushing my children over."
  • "Quite expensive for what it is, if your child is small then I would not recommend, the under 4 section is always over run with older kids."
  • "The indoor play area is completely shut at the moment."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "Love it here. Very good value for money. Lots of things for my girl to do, including mini farm, indoor soft play, jumping pillows, outdoor playground, boats to drive in the lake, mini train, just to name a few."
  • "Best place to take your kids for day for 1hr for every day a week month or like we do a yearly pass and go all the time."

Cons:

  • "The farm is really expensive for its size and the fact that a lot of it you have to pay extra for lots of activities seems very money grabbing."
  • "It was over £20 for two adults and 2 kids (3&1) today and would have been another £25ish to do the farm as well. It just feels overpriced imo!"
  • "Food overpriced."
  • "A jug of squash cost the same as a bottle of squash itself, £3 odd."
  • "Also entry price is on the expensive side too considering train and boat rides not included."
