Wow what an evening. We went as a large family group last night to the Land of Lights in Gulliver's World. This was our first time to this kind of event and we were not disappointed at all. The whole experience was truly spectacular. The lights were fantastic, the food great. We had pizzas all round nd the kids really enjoyed the witch ice-cream tubs, while the adults went for the delicious hot chocolate. All the staff were really friendly and helpful including all those on fire out duty for roasting the marshmallows . Along with I think it was Pete and Amanda who were really friendly and exceptional in their service 😁. I would highly recommend this if you have never been. We will definitely be back and watch out for further events at Gullivers.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children aged 2 to 13 who want a dedicated kids' theme park experience. Seasonal events like Land of Lights are the strongest draw and worth planning a trip around. SEN days offer a noticeably calmer visit with more accommodating staff.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Pre-purchase marshmallows online before Land of Lights — fire pits for toasting are along the trail
Dress in warm layers for the outdoor light trail events
🎟️Check the SEN day calendar if your child benefits from a quieter, lower-stimulus visit
🚗Some areas have access limits for double prams or mobility scooters — check the site map before visiting

Visited Dec 2025 for land of lights. This was very well organised. I purchased marshmallows in advance. The lights are beautiful and it wasn't too busy to enjoy it and take pictures. There was a good amount of food and drink stops. Fire pits are dotted along the way to toast marshmallows. The trail is pram friendly but the higher dinosaurs area may be inaccessible for motorised wheel chair users or people with double prams. There is a good amount of toilets available throughout. You will also find play areas along the way. I do wish they had been slightly better lit though. A selection of smaller rides where also open at an extra cost. All in all really enjoyable night out with the family.

Went to see the Xmas lights here what a brilliant set up you walk through following the path with guides and various food bars along the way. Spectacular lights and various settings to take pictures of your party ten times better than a visit to Blackpool lights children and adults will really be surprised at this venue looking forward to the next event.

We went for New Year’s Eve & it was fantastic well worth the money. Only small negative details , there could’ve been a few bigger rides on for the older children and better signs for were to go between the hours of 11.30pm-midnight. Other than this great value for money, the fireworks were as good as Florida ( I’ve been twice ) riding in the dark was good, food not too overly priced like other UK theme parks. Land of lights was INCREDIBLE so much to see. Wrap up warm if you are going next year wear layers. All the staff worked hard too.
