Visited during February half term on a dry but cold day. It was really easy to park and enter and can go back to the car easily if needed. I took a 4 and 6 year old and they both loved the massive slides. The younger one was allowed to try almost all of them, he was a little gutted he couldn't try some of the other yellow wristband activities but there was enough for him to do (great since he was free to enter). We didn't get to do everything, down to time and the children not wanting to leave areas they were enjoying. We luckily could enjoy the pedal powered rollercoaster for small guests, which was brilliant. There was so much to do and so many of each activity along the trail that I doubt even at busier times you'd be waiting long for a turn. The main area was full of things to keep them busy. The cafe was easier to order from and toilets easy to access. Lots of seating areas for packed lunch but I wish I'd ordered a pizza (on a cold day especially!). We got there at opening and it was quite quiet but we didn't have to wait for anything at any point during the day, it's big enough to cater for lots of people. Highly recommend. Definitely be prepared for mud and bring a change of clothes and wet wipes! We had a few bumps due to the physical nature of the play but nothing that's left more than a bruise! We'll be back on a warm day so we can enjoy some ice cream too!

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Built for families who genuinely embrace outdoor rough-and-tumble play. Children from age 4 can access most activities; the youngest may miss one or two of the biggest slides. Spare clothes are not optional β€” the site gets muddy on dry days and significantly worse after rain.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Pack full spare clothes and old trainers for every person β€” mud is unavoidable
⏰Wristbands allow free re-entry so you can change clothes at your car mid-visit
🎟️Book tickets in advance for the best rate β€” family of four pricing is available online
πŸš—Bring a towel and consider a packed picnic alongside the on-site food options

β€œBrilliant value family day out (less so if anybody is paying but not going on anything). As housemates with 1 child in tow, we had a collective blast on various slides, swings, football games, a bicycle powered roller coaster, mazes, so so much. It's all knocked together with what looks like scrap, but it's part of the charm that a lot of this requires no power and is simple construction that allows them to have so many things across the site and trail. Yes, you will come away with friction burns from some things, a wet bum even on a relatively dry day, and by god some of the things give you a workout. If you like to wrap your kids in cotton wool, don't bring them here, however if you are older in mindset that climbing trees, rough and tumble and a bit of dirt are healthy, get them here The site includes a car park you can freely go back and forth to (you have wristbands for re entry), excellent if the weather changes and you want to change, or are ready for any picnic you brought. There is an alright cafe inside that does got drinks and basic food (hotdog, burger, panini, chips) One reviewer said that adults aren't allowed on the slides, there was only a few slides that said yellow wristband only, there are some good big ones for the adults so that was tosh”

β€œFantastic family day out. Book your tickets in advance, Β£67 family of 4. Slides and ride for all ages. Decent food places and ice cream on site. Reasonable priced. Parking is free and right next to the front of the site. You can bring by your picnic in and go back and forth. Bring trainers and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. And a change for the drive home. I would say a towel too. No more than 5 min Q for the rides. Staff were friendly. Facilities were really clean and tidy. Coffee is decent on site. Easily 4-6 hours of playing to be done. Will definitely come again.”

β€œExcellent place, good value for money. However just be aware of grown adults playing in the mud then spreading that mud on the boards and hand rails. We were unfortunate to be behind them on the trail our clothes got covered in mud and one of our party slipped and hurt their back.”
