Compared with the big London attractions this was much better value, we'd paid nearly double for a day at one of those last year. The tickets were easy to sort on the site and the park was less crowded on a weekday. Food is pricier inside but the picnic rules are sensible.
Read moreThe booking page for the park kept timing out on my phone so I had to start again twice. Once the tickets went through they arrived by email straight away, which was fine. Didn't love wasting ten minutes on it.
Read moreWe bought two day tickets for the park back in the spring, booked through the website which was fairly straightforward to use, though I did find the date picker a little fiddly on my tablet. The day itself was lovely and the staff were very helpful with directions. The queues for a few of the bigger rides were longer than I'd have liked, mind, but we managed.

Honestly you can't go wrong with this place, we've been coming for about fifteen years. The ticket booking has got simpler every time and the rides still feel fresh. The kids are grown now but we still make the trip every summer.
We needed somewhere to take the family at half term and this has become our yearly trip. We've been coming around twelve years now, so we know the place well. Booking is quicker each year and the staff are always helpful.
Honestly the first thing I noticed was how quickly the booking went through, I'd got a room in under ten minutes on the site. We stayed in one of the woodland lodges for two nights. The park is easy to walk round and the night shows are well done, and the staff at the hotel desk were helpful when we asked about the bus back to the station.
This is easily the best value day out you'll find for a family, and I've done a fair few of them. The booking system takes a minute and you get the tickets by email before you've finished your tea. The park is well laid out with the rides spread around, so there's not much walking between the big attractions.
Got the app for the day and it sorted our tickets straight away. Rides were quick to get on and the lockers were easy. Would go again, the kids loved it.
Honestly the thing I noticed most was how pricey the food was, we paid a lot for a plain burger. The rides made up for it though, Baron 1898 was brilliant and the queues were fine on a weekday. Staff were helpful. Would go back with mates.
We bought a family pass for the year and it's worked out well for us. The tickets arrived by email within a minute and the pass scanned fine at the gate. The park is clean and the staff were friendly throughout.
We needed a day out that the grandchildren would enjoy and my husband wanted somewhere he could sit down between rides. We've been going for years now, the first time was when our eldest was small. Booking has got easier over time and the staff still remember the little ones by name.
