Holmside Park Reviews Summary

Soft Play Area

Pros:

• "The vibrant atmosphere and exciting play structures kept me and my kids entertained for hours."
• "Our (just turned) 3 year old enjoyed it here. Although admittedly it was mainly due to the soft play."
• "You walk in and there's a huge soft play which is great."
• "It was raining so unfortunately we couldn’t use any of the outdoor activities, but my 2 year old daughter loved the soft play and inflatable area."
• "The soft plat and inflatables are worth the entry price alone, I think we could have spent all day swapping between the two!"
• "Indoor play area was fantastic and plenty to do."
• "The indoor inflatable is the best part."
• "Absolutely brilliant place to take the kids, fun for adults too haha."

Cons:

• "The castle with the slide was a bit sad, nothing interactive on it to actually keep the kids entertained or encourage role play."
• "The indoor play area was very small and on the basic side compared to many others we visit."

Outdoor Activities

Pros:

• "Fire engine and helicopter worth a visit."
• "The outdoor bouncy pillow wasn’t used as it was a wet day when we visited - no fault of the park, but worth thinking about what indoor activities there are before you visit."
• "Holmside Park is great. Although there was not very much activity for my 21 month old daughter."
• "They have something for everyone! The staff were great easy to approach and never once got annoyed at the 101 questions we had."
• "Amazing place we went on a school day so we had the full park to ourselves!!"
• "Great visit, will definitely be going back."
• "It was a good place for the kids to play but as an adult you have to pay £5 for the privilege of sitting in a chair and watching your child play."
• "The kids loved the big bouncing pillows and the sandpit."

Cons:

• "The outdoor bouncy pillow wasn’t used as it was a wet day."
• "Overall this was very disappointing and next time we look for a day adventure we will go to Adventure Valley."
• "Equipment really old and dated, fire engine dropping to bits and the helicopter even worse condition."
• "The whole place could do with a massive makeover."
• "The outdoor area's were rather limited although it was interesting and good fun been able to climb into a fire engine and helicopter they have there."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Came today with my husband and two kids as a playdate with 2 other family's and what a great day had by all! Holmside Park is the best play area around suitable for all the family at great value for money!"
• "Great venue for all ages. Really good value for money for tickets."
• "This place is amazing. Ages 4 plus have access to everything."
• "The only time I see the kids is when they're running back to the table for a drink, grinning and sweating and telling me what they'd been up to before sprinting off."

Cons:

• "Dropped one star due to the poor value for money for a 3 year old with 2 additional paying adults."
• "This place is very over priced for what is on offer."
• "Honestly the worst £30 Iv ever spent when could of went to a park and done the same thing."
• "Fuel (40min drive), food, entrance and drinks almost 120 quid all in."
• "I found it quite expensive in terms of money for what you got."
• "1 adult and 3 children £36 + £5 for my wife who is in a wheelchair and unable to participate in anything so £41 for 3 children an absolute disgrace."
