Drayton Manor (Staffordshire) Reviews

I'm a big fan of theme parks and fairground amusements in general, and it seems my daughters have followed suit. I try to visit at least one UK theme park every year, and this year we choose to go to Drayton Manor Park in Staffordshire. I wanted to go here for two reasons, firstly it is home to Thomasland, a part of the park themed ...  Read the complete review

Tesco Clubcard rewards allow you to ...  Read the complete review

It's a shame but I never actually do anything on bank holidays. I just roll out of bed at whatever time I feel like and waste the entire day doing nothing, I don't even bother to get dressed most of the time. This bank holiday weekend, however, I decided would be different. I would go and do something, have some fun and fully enjoy one ...  Read the complete review

We only live about 1/2 hour drive from Drayton Manor so when we have visited before it tends to be a last minute decision. We have always found a massive queue when we have gone and I think it can be overpriced. I would say this theme park is more for the young children, there are plenty of rides for the little ...  Read the complete review

Taken From Ciao So Thats Why It's So Long! I have to say when I was told where I was going this weekend I was slightly dubious.

Thankfully this time I was with a bit more of a ...  Read the complete review

I have lost count of the amount of times I have been to drayton manor theme park! I love spending a day there with my friends and family.

You cannot compare it to ...  Read the complete review

This is the nearest theme park to where I live, so it tends to be the one we visit the most. Over the years the park has had various pricing methods, such as a nominal entry fee and tickets and wristbands, but a few years ago decided to opt for the Alton Towers "one fee for all" policy, which is a shame because it excludes ...  Read the complete review

Shock Wave - ok so it is the only stand up rollar coaster in Europe but it has been there since like 1990! Time for a change I think. As ...  Read the complete review

The bonus about this place is that it has 3 attractions, it's a theme park with adult rides, has something for the kid's with Thomas land and a mini zoo rolled into one, I guess really this place will suit families more than the thrill seekers out there. One of the really great things about the park for me was that there wasn't the ...  Read the complete review

Drayton manor is a theme park that i believe is tryin (and failing) to keep in contact with Alton towers, when i last went to drayton manor i found some plus`s and some minus`s. The pros are that there a number of rides that you can enjoy and some are top, there is also hardley any waiting time compared to Alton towers and i also believe ...  Read the complete review
