Questions parents ask
- How long should we allow for a visit?
- Most families spend around three hours here, though you could stay longer if you're doing bowling or eating at the restaurant as well as the rides and waterpark.
- What is there to eat, or should we bring a picnic?
- The venue has a restaurant (Armstrongs) and an ice cream parlour on site. We haven't confirmed whether there's a picnic area, so check ahead if you'd prefer to bring your own food.
- Does it work in bad weather?
- The fun park and bowling are indoors, but the waterpark is outdoor. A wet forecast needn't spoil your visit if you focus on the dry attractions, though the waterpark would be less appealing.
- Which ages get the most out of it?
- The venue has rides suited to younger children and soft play, alongside arcade games and bowling for older children. One reviewer noted there's plenty to do for all ages.
- Is there parking, and is it a walk from the car?
- We haven't confirmed details of parking or how far it is from the car park to the entrance. Contact them directly to check before you visit.
