Reviews and details of facilities:

entry price of £9.99 for children 3yrs & over is diabolical. they are classing a 3yr old as an adult which is the same price. you also have to pay extra for some of the rides. we will not be going there again.

What a change from last year when it was thoroughly enjoyable for the whole family. Whether it is a change of management or just a cost cutting exercise I have no idea but the quality is heading downhill fast. It is not just the noise from the airport next door with larger aircraft taking off throughout the day it is the general attitude in the place.

The day we were there the girl playing Alice was absolutely marvelous, however talk about hard work, the person, not sure if it was a male or female, playing the Mad Hatter was an absolute disgrace. It seemed as if it was a first year student from a local college. No idea of the concept of working with children at all - what a shame for poor Alice!!

Food wise, as ever overpriced on the South Coast and not much in the way of Healthy Eating on the menu. Take your own is my advice.

One hopes that so early in the season the management can turn things around but I would check with the park before committing. The very least you would expect at a childrens theme park is "Child Friendly" entertainers. Search the agency books management, please. £40 entrance and £30 to eat for a family of four + plus souvenirs etc is not a cheap day out!!!

Quite expensive entry fee, but there is quite a lots to do for the kids, especially in the summer. Recent addition of massive indoor play area has made it an all-weather destination. Rides are good for smaller children. Pony and Donkey rides available, but you have to pay extra. Good toilets and baby change facilities. The Cafe in the play area has reasonable selection of hot food and snacks, but service can be slow.
