Easy to get to with plenty of free parking. Went to car park 10 and it was right outside. Quite small for a funfair however with a big group we easily spent about 2 hours here. Faster rides were about 5 tokens with the baby ride (hot air balloon ride) needing 3 tokens. Used about 50 tokens in total for 2 kids and a baby.
Nice experience Much smaller than the Hyde park one Its small and cosy Not too over priced either Tokens are 1.20 each or 10 for £10. There's free parking also which is great
Ice skating here was the worst experience. They allow far too many people on the rink at the same time, making it overcrowded and unsafe. Most of the skates are damaged and hurt your feet, and it’s almost impossible to stand properly in them. I wouldn’t recommend this place, try to find another rink instead.
I have visited the Christmas Wonderland many times during our days out shopping and have never had an issue until today. At the ice-skating rink there was a large group of teenagers having fun, which in itself is not a problem—it’s nice to see people enjoying themselves. However, it became an issue when they showed no consideration for others around them. They were deliberately throwing themselves onto the ice without thinking about younger children or people who were not as confident skating. I understand that staff are not there to supervise individuals, whether children or adults, but it was very concerning to see rink staff and those on the sidelines laughing at behaviour that could have easily resulted in someone being injured. I eventually had to report this to the staff at the kiosk, as the staff on the rink were not ensuring that rink rules were being followed. Because of this experience, I would not feel comfortable taking my children to the ice rink again.
Lovely to go to locally! Security and staff are friendly! The snack stalls for candy floss are good! The rides are fun and can buy 20 tickets for £20. Cute for photos and to take the kids! The games are fun too!
Booked late afternoon ice skating with my daughter - glad we did as got space on the last half price day. At full price feels like a very expensive hour, but as a one off was a very nice experience. Then bought some ride tickets (20 for £20). Rides carry from 2-5 tickets each, so these used fairly quickly. Really enjoyed the elf coaster. For a roller coaster which not especially high and very compact it offers great thrills and spills. Didn't try out the food and drink, but seemed to be a decent selection of Christmas market type fayre. Small place so you're not going to spend all day here, but that's probably a good thing financially! All in all a good, albeit fairly pricey, way to break up our Christmas shopping.
Good vibes- open till late even on Sundays which is good one negative the mini Dutch pancakes where not great very stingy with the Nutella sauce! Also free to enter.
Had a lovely evening with husband and our 3 children. Ice skating is cheaper if you book online. Not many rides for under 1.2 metres which is a shame. Food at drink stalls looked lovely. Security staff on gate, all staff are helpful and polite. My children can't wait to come back. Car park is very close, wheelchair and pushchair friendly. We got 20 tickets for £20 and rides are from 3 to 5 tickets.
