Peter Rabbit™: Explore and Play - Blackpool Reviews Summary

Attraction Size and Layout

Pros:

• "This place isn't huge, but my 3 year old nephew had a ball!"
• "It doesn't take long to get round think we managed an hour."
• "It's calm peaceful lots of different activities for kids to try."
• "The general play area was nice and there were lots of different activities and a stamp book for bigger kids."
• "Plenty of room for both wheelchair users and those with pushchairs."

Cons:

• "Very little to do overall, the play area could of been so much better."
• "With it being such a small place just missing these things makes it just that little less special."
• "Very small; I don’t class a table with crayons on it as an “attraction”."
• "The whole thing was over in 20 mins."
• "It's a bit much to advertise this as a day out when you are booted out in an hour."

Staff Interaction and Performance

Pros:

• "When we entered we were met with such positive uplifting energy from the very friendly staff."
• "The staff are great they interact with the children play with them."
• "A special thank you goes to Lucie-Bo who I cannot speak highly enough about."
• "Shout out to staff member Kayleigh who was fantastic."
• "The staff taking part in the attraction were very interactive and happy."

Cons:

• "They could of have staff around the area maybe interacting with the children to try to bring the area to life a little more."
• "The “show” at the end was quite lame. The presenter sounded bored."
• "Communication was poor. Very disappointed parent."
• "I put show in inverted commas because the description makes it sound like some kind of stage performance."
• "The picture machine where you can get your pictures from crashed about 5 times."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "We paid £9 for my nephew and 2 adults with the mid-week discount, so really worth it."
• "Great as you get to meet Peter and get a free badge at the end which is very easy to put on."
• "We had free entry with our Madame Tussauds tickets - nevertheless we found this quite enjoyable."
• "Fabulous experience my 4 year old little girl loved it."
• "Had a great time today my nephew loved the sensory room and he wouldn’t leave the drums alone."

Cons:

• "I'm sure the experience is great and wish we had the opportunity to experience it as our little girl was so excited."
• "If we had paid solely for this attraction, I would be sorely dissatisfied."
• "I didn't realise this was a Merlin entertainments attraction when I booked - it definitely shows. It's just so bad."
• "We visited today coming from the lakes where we live and have outdone the local Peter Rabbit. We were excited to come along to this one."
• "The adult price really needs a rethink here: no doubt adults get something out of the other attractions (SeaLife etc), but the only reason adults are in PR is that they are mandated to get the children in."

Safety and Accessibility

Pros:

• "Every character has been included. It's not scary. There are toilets for little ones so much thought has been put in."
• "The play area like the garden was a hit. Small slides, hidden burrows and carrots to climb through."
• "It was a bit on the noisy side but that's a good thing. Lots of children having a fabulous time."
• "Only thing that impressed me as a support worker is a disabled toilet with a change bed and hoist which you don’t see in many places."
• "I am a disabled no-legged full-time wheelchair user, there was space to store your pram while you enjoyed the experience."

Cons:

• "MAJOR FLAW!!! the garden gate you walk through at the start has a standard garden lift lock on it that doesn’t catch and doesn’t auto close."
• "The access to the photo printer, the queue was 4 deep on the 2 screens so we gave up."
• "The actual facilities and amount of things to do was pretty poor for the price."
• "You will find yourself locked in though if you want to meet Peter, as the ending is a timed event."
• "I wouldn’t recommend and definitely wouldn’t go again, can’t believe the price for adults either!"

Overall Experience and Entertainment

Pros:

• "Such a fantastic place for young children. My children loved seeing Peter rabbit dressed as batman for Halloween."
• "It was a very nice place to wind down the kids."
• "The activities and different sections, all so engaging and varied."
• "All the areas are well thought out. The little soft play garden was a hit too."
• "It’s very interactive and perfect for little ones."

Cons:

• "Very disappointing. The children were bored after 10 mins. The whole thing was over in 20 mins."
• "Not actually that much to do. Website states 45 minutes but could easily have been done in 20."
• "On a whole, you're in and out in less than an hour, very disappointing not an attraction I think adults should pay for at all."
• "Came with my 4 yr old granddaughter Tuesday was extremely disappointed by what was there."
• "The attraction is very small, visually it is really good though. We had been to all the stations in 20 mins."
