Attractions and Themed Areas

Pros:

  • "A must have is the Alice in Wonderland.. Afternoon Tea.. A surprise in every mouthful."
  • "Great special effects with realistic projections of ghosts & ghouls."
  • "Great place for kids and adults alike, a must visit."
  • "The Alice garden is wonderful. Cheshire cat coming and going in the trees."
  • "Love the penny dreadful play, loved the garden the lights looked wonderful, hunted house, talking ghosts and Pumpkins were very cleverly done."
  • "The different gardens have been put together really well. From Italy to Japan to Jurassic loved them all."
  • "Each garden was stand alone brilliant and every corner turned there was a new surprise."

Cons:

  • "I thought the water features looked tired."
  • "However a lot of the items are over water and we found the wooden bridges were rotting."
  • "The garden was disappointing for the price - £14 for an adult, £10 for children. I would say at most you will get 1-2 hours from this unless you really just want to sit and read."
  • "Very tired, not all water features were working. Triton was not working and Japan had no water running down the stream."
  • "Not much in the way of gardens to look at."
  • "Peeling paint work and just looked a bit tired and neglected."
  • "It's been a couple of years since we last came to Ralph gardens, bit disappointed, most of the exhibits are in need of tlc, and the new projects look like they're being done by a bad DIYer."

  • "The food looked excellent but unfortunately with a predicted 30-45 min wait and 3 hungry children we had to leave to seek food elsewhere."
  • "I ordered the daily special. Cheeseburger. Arrived with absolutely nothing else in it - dry bun, no onions, tomatoes, relish. One bite and it was raw!"
  • "Good food in restaurant but service left a lot to be desired."
