Sundown Adventureland

You can't beat sundown for a cracking family day out with the younger children, great value, including the refreshments which are often overpriced elsewhere , we will definitely be returning again and again.

My wife and I have just spent a very nice family day out with our 2.5yr old grandaughter at Sundown Adventure land in Retford.this is definately a place to put on your visit list. Myself and partner also enjoyed this place.

My 4 year old tried to go together with myself on an ostrich ride, which was okay according to rules board as it was saying that kids over 10 (she is exactly 10) can go alone, but dont have to. However after waiting around 30 minutes in the queue we have been told that she has to go alone and she did not want to as she is scared. So they did not let us go together and the woman at the gate wasn't even trying to understand what the board was saying. Dissapointed.

Took my 5 year old and my 7 month old daughters to this place yesterday. Firstly, I would advise anyone who prebooks their tickets online on the same day they are going to visit to expect complications on the system when checking in. Surprisingly, with modern technology and internet it still doesn't update or doesn't seem to have a clue who you are, even with your reference number. despite this hicup, we were allowed in and the staff seemed pleasant enough (although the ladies in the cafe seemed shy/clueless)

once in, i couldn't help but feel the place could do with a little clean up and refurbishing, but this isn't about my experience at all. this place is designed for kids and on that level alone, it is perfect. Its basically one extra large player area. There were so many different parks, jungle gyms, set pieces and play areas to wander about and my eldest daughter had a wonderful time exploring everywhere and playing. the rides were nothing special and (again) specifically designed for children - some of which my 7 month old was allowed on and obviously a few she was not, but even at her age, she seemed to enjoy the place.

Overall, i would have given it 3 stars, but it has earned an extra star purely for the fact that my kids enjoyed it so much. To anyone from advertureland reading this, if you want my advice, i would say you need to make some of the set peices a little more interactive, rather than just being able to walk through and press a few buttons here and there.

I took my 4 year old and Grandma here on 9th April'14 and had a great day. No queues at entrance or for any rides, yet there were plenty of people there to give it an atmosphere. My son loved the Angry Birds play area, and the indoor play area too. We went on all the rides at least twice, and had a great laugh on the water ride when Grandma got soaked! We took our own picnic food, but the food in the Crash Landings play area looked really good value. The staff were happy to chat with us, and the place was very clean. We were lucky to have a sunny day without April showers, but I would recommend a visit if you have young children.

If I had to suggest an area to improve it would be the monkeys, as some of the buttons didn't work, but that is all I can think of!

Our family's trip to Sundown Adventureland (March 16th, 2014)

A place you ABSOLUTELY NEED to take the family for the day.

Truly a diamond in the rough in the UK.

A seriously good place for your kids to let off some steam.

Highly recommend.

There is plenty of places to eat your own food, BUT they don't gouge you with the cost of food either. $16 for a family of 4 to eat lunch.

We loved it so much we bought an annual pass.

Amazing! I remember going as a kid its always been a magical place and still is! I now take my children who absolutely love it! HIGHLY RECOMMEND :D ★★★★★

Bad points I think the map makes it seem bigger then it is and I don't think the cafe have much choice for healthy options. Some of the manikins are peeling and could do with a dust. I think some of staff seem depressed and are very rude. The ice cream is full of ice. And it's very over priced. I think the gate entry is a bit expensive.

Good points. Good day out makes my kids happy. Not sure if I would choose this place often

I've been taking my children to sundown since the early nineties obviously they're grown up now but we've been today for my three year olds birthday and although not much has changed the place is still absolutely magical , my boy loved every minute of it and to be honest so did I , you can't beat sundown for a cracking family day out with the younger children, great value, including the refreshments which are often overpriced elsewhere , we will definitely be returning again and again ,lovely happy place to be..

I specifically went to this place as I thought it allowed babies on rides. I went for my 2 year olds birthday with family and friends....nothing interesting there. Absolute rubbish and overpriced for what it is. I'm originally from Edinburgh and we have things like this on offer for FREE. Staff were very rude and refused to get me the manager and also REFUSED TO REFUND despite us only being there 30 mins... HOW DARE THEY NOT REFUND WHEN WE DIDN'T EVEN GO ON ANYTHING!! Ended up trying to make the best of it, will never be going again and I will be warning all my friends and family and spreading the word on Facebook to avoid this place. Save your money and go to white post farm, I think its brilliant for all age groups and quite near there. Much more reasonable as well. Ideal for my sons 3rd birthday party next year...So disappointed in this place it's unreal.
