Awesome family day for small children. The gnome village is interesting and Victorian style rides.Recommend to buy toboggan tickets online before you go.

A great family theme park with lots of history, amusements, and rides. Quite hilly at parts, but manageable, so be warey if you have motility issues. Very friendly staff. The only issue was that a few of the amusements games were faulty or had issues.Went during Halloween time in mid-October. It was VERY quiet and basically had the park to ourselves, which was perfect for a disabled autistic family member. Would recommend 👌.

Excellent place for children of all ages. The rides were very good some only for 5yrs but lots for older or younger. My granddaughter loved it. Great family day day out. Restaurant severed lots of things to eat and was nice and clean. If you want a good day out I would recommend.

Had a wonderful day. We had my 2 daughters and our grand children with us. I'm classed as disabled, some of the steep pathways were a no no for me. But definitely go again, it's a stunning place to go and admire.

Fun day out for all the family we really enjoyed it and spent a few hours there. Some off the rides was close because of the rain 🌧️. They are some very steep hills to walk up. The toboggan is up a very steep hill it would be a good idea to put a sign up at the bottom if not running save people walking up. Golf was good and the maze . They had loads off 2p machines from back in the day so take some 2p and 10p with you .
