Advantages: Great for all the family!

Disadvantages: Couldn't find any!

My boyfriend and I took a friend's three children (ages 2,3 and 7) here for the day on Sunday and thought it was an excellent day out.
It cost £14 for all five of us to enter and after that everything was included. The kids had great fun on trampolines and a huge bouncy castle. The play park was well equipped with modern and fun slides and swings and everyone was kept busy.
The trampolines and bouncy castle were well supervised but the staff did not interfere with the children enjoying themselves.
There was also a fun train ride which we all enjoyed, along with boat hire, where there were also ducks and swans which the girls loved.
We had a tasty and very reasonably priced meal in the cafe where the staff were friendly and attentive.
On this particular day there was a showing of birds of prey, and the children were helped handling an owl (in protective gloves) - they even recieved a keepsake photograph!
The toilets were basic but clean and adequate.
All in all we didn;t get around the whole park as the kids were reluctant to leave the bouncy castle etc but it was clear to see the grounds were beautiful and well kept.
There is an option of hiring boules (also included) and crazy golf is available too.
All in all we thought it was excellent value and an excellent day out for all ages.
It was particularly good that everything was included after entry as it meant avoiding those times where you have to disappoint by saying 'no'.
There was enough room in the park to bring a football for a kick about, or to have a picnic.
If you were with older kids I am sure there is a lot of ground for adults to cover in a nice walk.
Brilliant!

Summary: Highly Recommended..
