If you're looking for a fab day out and have kids under 5 or 6, I'd wholeheartedly recommend Sundown Adventure Land, Nr Retford, Notts. I have memories of coming here myself as a child when it was named Pets' Corner but since then it's been revamped and re-named. Set out in little zones, such as Nursery Rhyme Land, Market Square and Sunny Down Farm, which are all interactive, kids and adults alike won't fail to be amazed. Pull the bull's nose ring to hear it sing, push to food on the market stall to hear a nursery rhyme and push various buttons at the Singalong Show to get various animals joining in with the Jungle Book song! On a sunny day, this ...  Read the complete review

I have three young boys aged 5, 3 and 1, and with the start of the big summer holidays was looking for somewhere to take them for a day trip. I looked online for the perfect place to entertain them and came accross Sundown Adventureland. It was relatively close to where we live and I had heard good things about it before as I think it's somewhere nursey schools go for a day trip. Looking reasonably priced we decided to give it a go. Sundown Adventureland is located in Rampton, near Retford, Nottinghamshire. It is six miles from the A1 Markham Moor and is also signposted three miles from Dunham on the A57. It is about 40 miles from where we live and we had ...  Read the complete review

I have just had one of the best days out ever! Today I went with my husband and 21 month old son to Sundown Adventureland, in Rampton, Nottinghamshire. Sundown Adventureland advertises itself as 'the theme park uniquely designed for the under 10s'. This instantly appealed to us as an alternative to the big theme parks like Alton Towers. As much as we love those places, now we have our son we don't want to pay the big entrance prices for the big rides that we won't be going on. It seems to me that Sundown has been designed specifically for people like us. It's like they got inside my head to see exactly what I wanted, then built it all for ...  Read the complete review

Express Review on Sundown Adventureland

All I can say is that we travelled 150 miles to Sundown Adventureland and was not disappointed in any way. Our kids of 5 and 2 went on every ride and loved all the attractions. The toilets were very clean and well maintained, which is always a plus, and the staff were all great. There were a few wasps flying about but they didn't bother us. All in all Sundowns is a fantastic day out for the kids and we will definitely be recommending the place to our friends and family.

Sundown Adventureland: Wasps ruin a great place (154 words)

Nice rides for the under 5s, and plenty for the little ones to look at and play with, *but* a rampant wasp problem which they do little to try and control (and I mean thousands of the things flying around the park). Open top or open sided bins everywhere (each with about 20 wasps flying in and out), 12 wasps flying round the indoor cafe. I was told they dump their rotting tree fruit at the boundary to try and keep the wasps away (a strategy that seemed really nuts to me). I was also told this is the case all through the summer. Four wasp nests exterminated that week alone. It doesn't sound like this was a one off issue. Everyone was complaining ...  Read the complete review
