Value for Money

Pros:

  • "You can hold guinea pigs, snakes and spiders if you want to."
  • "Very reasonable price. Been to a lot of places similar but this was the best."
  • "The ticket price was quite high but with so many different play aspects all rolled into one I think it's not too bad."
  • "Food and drinks are available at very reasonable prices."

  • "Extremely great value for money!"
  • "£7.50 for adults (£8.50 for children) and 50p for a feed bag, well worth the money."

  • "Our only reason for knocking a star off was due to things such as the excavator and mini tractor rides being extra money on top of the £16 we already paid for our child."
  • "Price structure needs rethinking but great place for an afternoon."
  • "Lots to see & do but a little pricey for entrance especially adult price."

  • "I felt it was over priced and was very surprised when a trip on the train was charged in addition to the entrance fee."
  • "Personally its a lot money for so little the train goes around it not fully tho u also have to pay for the mini diggers ride on quads and something else little tractors are peddle unless u go on baby ones which is like walking I dint think u can spend a day there really to be honest xx."
  • "I do feel the tickets are quite expensive though."
