may i know how much price for the ticket?

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

A strong multi-generational day out for families with children of all ages. Train-obsessed toddlers get two railway experiences; older children and adults get the scenic countryside journey and the long tunnel. Covered facilities mean rain does not derail the day. Dogs are welcome throughout.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Arrive earlier in the day β€” the site gets progressively busier through the afternoon
⏰Order food early if using the pizza option β€” it is popular and sells out
🎟️One stall on-site charges an additional fee beyond the main admission
πŸš—Indoor facilities including the covered jumping pillow area work well in poor weather

β€œPerfect for kids, adults and four legged friends. Recommendations - bring some additional snacks. Pizza place is popular so would recommend buying it early Free face painting, bubble magician and amusements was a nice touch. 1 of the stalls you did have to pay extra for. It does get busier throughout the day but was well organised. Overall plenty to do to tire out those little legs. Will definitely come back for another themed event.”
