“I am amazed that anyone rates this place. Firstly I...”

I am amazed that anyone rates this place. Firstly I expect these places to be expensive but they charge the same price for children as for adults (albeit under 2s go free); so for 2 adults a 2 and 3 yr old, it was £40 just to walk in the door. Set in the shadow of power station cooling towers on the left overs from some farmers field - stunning this place is not! The are a couple of ride, all very similar: tractor through a faux-farm, horse carriage through short medieval scene. After 30 minutes we gave up queuing, such crumby rides just aren't worth it even for a 3 yr old. There are good, if a bit tired, play areas and a good indoor climbing area - but this is all stuff you can find elsewhere for fifth of the price. Avoid this place - Belton Woods is just down the road and a lot more fun and better value!

I found this review very helpful because it confirmed what I thought from looking at the website. Looks like it could be a very expensive trip to a playground or indoor soft play, which is basically what this place appears to be.

I read this review while planning a visit with my Granddaughters aged 2 and 4.
<br/>I think the person who wrote it must have only visited the car park.
<br/>We entered at 10:30 and left at 17:45 but only after a struggle getting the children to agree it was time to go.
<br/>The two children + Mum, Dad, Grandmother and myself all thoroughly enjoyed the day. We will definitely be taking our other grandchildren at the first opportunity.
<br/>We had visited Flamingo Land the previous week which cost a lot more and had long queues of sometime boisterous teenagers and many rides would not allow the small children on.
<br/>So if you have under 10 year old children go to Sundown it will not disappoint them.
<br/>A wonderful day out and well worth the money to see the children's faces.

Well I completely disagree. My children are now 10 and 7 and still beg to go here every year and I have to admit - I think I enjoy it more than them!!! I think for the price (&pound;9.95 each) you get a full day of things to do and we always find something we didn't discover in a previous visit. The new play area is great and the kids are entertained the whole day!!!! I honestly don't see what is not to like about the place - it is extremely good value for a fantastic day out - much cheaper than what we have paid for Alton Towers tickets and probably just as much fun.
