Parking on site is more than ample and they have helpful parking attendants on site to help make the most of the space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We arrived around 11.30am,<em> you need to book a time slot online to enter the park<\/em> and it&#8217;s open from 10am until 9pm but there really is so much to do we wanted the whole day to explore! It was super quick booking in and getting our wristbands to gain entry, just make sure you have your order number to hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There&#8217;s a few different ticket options, but we opted for the basic illuminations, forest and maze package and we added on tickets to the P<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">layhive, which I would really recommend! My eldest loves mazes so this was really the main attraction for us. But you can upgrade to the gold or silver package on the websites to have all the extras included. There is a handy table online to show what each ticket option includes.<\/span>                            <\/div>\n                                                 \n                            <div class=\"attraction-cta__meta-box\">\n                                <div class=\"attraction-cta__meta-title\">\n                                    <span><?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<svg width=\"384px\" height=\"511px\" viewBox=\"0 0 384 511\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\">\n    <title>Shape<\/title>\n    <g id=\"Page-1\" stroke=\"none\" stroke-width=\"1\" fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\">\n        <g id=\"location-dot-solid\" fill=\"#555555\" fill-rule=\"nonzero\">\n            <path d=\"M168.3,499.2 C116.1,435 0,279.4 0,192 C0,85.96 85.96,0 192,0 C298,0 384,85.96 384,192 C384,279.4 267,435 215.7,499.2 C203.4,514.5 180.6,514.5 168.3,499.2 L168.3,499.2 Z M192,256 C227.3,256 256,227.3 256,192 C256,156.7 227.3,128 192,128 C156.7,128 128,156.7 128,192 C128,227.3 156.7,256 192,256 Z\" id=\"Shape\"><\/path>\n        <\/g>\n    <\/g>\n<\/svg> Location<\/span>                                   \n                                                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/hdFbKzcAovjLnHje8\" target=\"__blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n                                            <span>Get directions<\/span><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><!--!
