Cons:

• "It is quite a small butterfly park, but the kids loved it."
• "Mini golf is a bit meh, it is very basic with no real obstacles to be honest."
• "The butterfly farm itself is quite small, but it's ok for kids, though it won't keep them entertained for more than an hour."
• "The butterfly zoo can be done in 20 minutes and if there are more than 15-20 people in there it can get quite crowded."

Value for Money

• "Good value for money."
• "We bought a family ticket for the zoo, maze and crazy golf which we felt was good value."

• "Very good value for money and an enjoyable couple of hours."

Cons:

• "£100 Parking fine for using a disabled space with unclear sign's placed 8ft high and out of the way of the disabled area - absolute disgrace!!"
• "Appallingly bad venue which employs a dreadful, unscrupulous parking company (ParkingEye) to police the car park, and charges £100 for so much as entering the car park without paying."
• "The butterfly area would be a 4 star but nothing justifies additional payment for parking when you have already paid entrance fees."
• "We easily spent over £200 here this weekend alone. None of the attractions are great value for money, it’s all very average and over priced."
• "None of the attractions are great value for money, it’s all very average and over priced."
