Joyland Reviews Summary

Value for Money

Pros:

• "We bought the 25 tokens for £30 (at this time). Which was really cheap for the amount of rides you get to go on."
• "Great price. Only 10 rides or so... £1.50 per token. One token per ride."
• "Cheap on tokens per ride, good old cheerful fun for kids!"
• "The tokens you can get are 12 for £20 which is a great price."
• "Free entry and moderately reasonable priced tokens for the rides."
• "£1.50 per token, (bonus tokens for bulk purchases), 1 token per ride, minimal queueing."
• "Fantastic park! Been going since 1949 and the Tubs and snails are heritage rides!"

Cons:

• "Run down and very expensive for what it is."
• "A bag of tokens will cost about £15.00 so not cheap if on a budget and as with all things the prices have gone up."
• "Nothing special, think it's about £15 for 12 tokens even 1yr olds need tokens to go on the baby rides so they don't last long."
• "Expensive and outdated, the rides here have been here since I was about 5 I'm nearly 40 now."
• "But now for 12 tokens it is £15 and for 25 tokens it is £30 and it is a little expensive."
• "Poor value. Need to buy tokens up front with no indication of how many you might want or need."
• "Bit expensive for what they are too, £1.50 to go in a very quick circle wasn't really worth it."

Staff and Service

Pros:

• "Staff are good and lots of hand cleaning stations."
• "Always a warm friendly welcome from all the staff."
• "Staff are helpful and considerate to getting the kids in and out of the rides."
• "Staff were very friendly. 12 tokens is enough for two to have a ride on most things."
• "Very safe with hand sanitizer and friendly staff."
• "Always friendly and helpful staff around."
• "Family Favourite. Well looked after park, with good service and some unique rides."

Cons:

• "Most of the rides were manned by young lads who obviously did not have a yearning to work with children."
• "Rides fine, experience spoiled by rude staff, I didn't realise I'd have to get a token for my 4 month old."
• "The girl on the pirate ship didn't even look in my daughters direction when she happily gave her the token, which was very rude."
• "Staff all look fed up but I could imagine it is dull work, elsewhere (e.g. pleasure beach) staff are always friendly with a smile."
• "Staff operating the rides could have been a little more enthusiastic."
• "A few of the ride operators were very unhappy to be there."
• "Some of the ride attendants were quite rude and didn't look as if they were enjoying their job which is such a shame for the children who love it so much."

Ride Experience

Pros:

• "It was lovely to see my 4 year old grandson really excited on the rides."
• "4 year old grandson loved this place especially the spooky roller coaster, rode it twice."
• "Kids absolutely love the rides and the Spooky Express is a great little rollercoaster."
• "This is a brilliant park for kids, it'd packed full of rides which all have their own character."
• "Wow! What a lovely little toddler theme park! My two year old loved every ride, especially the spook express roller coaster."
• "Fantastic fun for the little ones, our Granddaughter is 5 and was able to go on every ride."
• "My daughter is 6 and could ride most the rides alone although is fun to go on with her especially the snails."
