Woodlands Leisure Park Review

Overall Rating

Lovely grass/open areas
Brilliant rides

Due to the size, there is a lot of walking around

Woodlands Leisure Park (Dartmouth) is a delightful Country park near Totnes, Devon. It is sometimes a struggle to find, and new visitors should take directions. The second you drive into Woodlands, you know what sort of a day it is going to be. Lush trees, beautiful animals prance around the road like it wasn't even there! Adults & Children are both £8.75 to get in. Make sure you collect a map, you're going to need it!

Immediately on the left is the 'Largest Indoor Venture Centre in the UK'. This is perfect when it rains, and it has the biggest climbing frame I have ever seen. Inside is obviously the climbing frame, The Trauma Tower (descending tower), and many children's rides and activities. There is a full restaurant inside, and it has very good food! In the park, the rides fit in very well with the surroundings.

If you walk down from the indoor area, you will come across 'Master Blaster', which is a fun 'gun' game where you can shoot foam balls at opposing friends or other guns. Around this area are also a 'Death Slide' (undercover) area and another cafe.

Going right from there, you come across last year's new attraction, Avalanche. It looks like the attraction next to it, Arctic Gliders. This is a bob-sleigh ride where you shoot down on toboggans down a slippery slope while being squirted by moving water sprinklers. But Avalanche is not what it seems. You zoom down the metal frame like a rocket, and you think you are going to flip over!

Moving upwards, you come across many small attractions, such as a climbing frame and mini go-karts. Then you come across my favourite attraction(s), the slides and toboggan run!

Woodlands have 3 water flumes, one dark, one bumpy and another twisty. They are all very fun, BUT can accumulate massive queues if busy (up to 2 hours). The toboggan run is really fun, and any queue moves very quickly. You can get spectacular views on the ride, as well as much enjoyment! Also, there is a small 'bear town' for small children, another restaurant and a few drinks machines.

Moving right from there is the 'Tango' slide zone. This is tucked away, but don't miss it (you will the see the different coloured slides). Then, another small children's play area, and finally, bumper boats and a lovely lake.

Phew! That's a lot in a day, and a lot of walking. Do bring lots of drinks, as you will get hot walking around. You may wish to bring a picnic, as there are many opportunities to eat through the day.

Woodlands Leisure Park is a fun day out for all ages.
