Activities Breakdown

when we arrived the receptionist gave us a lot of information and times about the day, train times, 4D cinema times and gave us a ticket for it and fish food and bird food ect… the bird and fish food was £1 each, we went outside first and started at the bare walk, we walked to the top and there was so much obstacle courses to do, slide, bridge and tyre swings, we then went to the 4D cinema at our time slot which was good, glasses didn’t stay on well but the experience for my kids was good they loved getting wet, we then went back outside to the train ride which took us to another outdoor park and a small soft play inside which my kids loved as they were the only ones there when we went and you get to spend as long as you want, we had some snacks which I brought from home then went around the bits we never done then went home, I would defy go back and think the price was good with what you get to do.

Food & Drink

I never purchased any food there as I always take my own pack lunch / snacks

Money-Saving Tip

Take own snacks. Look on Wowcher for discount codes sometimes they have some for here. If you don’t need to don’t do any extra activities just what’s included as there is a lot anyway.

The Final Verdict:

Was a really good day out, I also recommended it to two friends who have now been and said it was good, I like how everything is included in the price except rock climbing ect… which we didn’t do but I don’t think you need you, I liked that it was so big to get around and something at every part, the train ride and 4D cinema topped it off. I would defo visit again
